It's usually a percentage of the purchase price, ~1%.
As for home inspectors, that's a funny industry. They legit find stuff sometimes, but when there's nothing to report, they seem to look for stuff to validate or justify their $500 charge. There should be no shame in a home inspector telling a buyer that the house is fine. No need to start pulling out things like tripping hazards in sidewalk blocks, as though they're defects instead of a couple hours of homeowner elbow grease.
