4. Code Mentor. https://www.codementor.io/ A paid platform to get immediate help when stuck on coding. It's a marketplace connecting engineers with other engineers. The pricing encourages 15-30 minute sessions (you pay per minute).
5. Mentor Cruise: https://mentorcruise.com/coach/softwareengineering/ connect with experienced engineers or managers and do regular, 30-minute sessions, or one-offs.
Most of what you pay goes to the mentor, the platform taking a 20% cut.

6. Plato. This is the resource that is more expensive than any of the ones mentioned: however, though I was a mentor, I cannot with good conscience recommend paying for it.
Mentors volunteer for free, and you pay $300+/month, all of which goes to Plato. https://twitter.com/GergelyOrosz/status/1379501724738674689?s=20

7. Do direct reachouts to people local to you, asking if they do paid mentorship.
There are people who might not be on these sites, but are knowledgable and might be open to helping. Don't assume they'll volunteer their time for free, though.
What other places do you know of?
