How can I compare online and in-person medium readings?

Before booking, which practical differences matter between video, phone, and in-person sessions? How can someone compare privacy, accessibility, total cost, recording consent, and cancellation terms without assuming that any format is more accurate?

Compare the same practical details for each format: session length, total price, privacy, accessibility, recording, and what happens if a connection drops or you need to reschedule. An online session also needs a quiet private place and a reliable connection; an in-person visit may add travel costs. The format alone does not establish how accurate a reading will be.
