Pricing

Service fee

Participants should keep 100% of their rewards. So we charge our platform fee on top (we reduce this fee for non-profit and academic institutions).

Audience filters

Our 250+ pre-set filters are free to use. Choose a representative sample for an additional cost.

Participant rewards

Everyone’s time is valuable, so the minimum reward allowed is £6.00/$8.00 per hour.

Ethical data that benefits everyone

We invest in and protect our participants. So you can build your research on rich data and ethical practices.

Fair

Fair pay is crucial to high quality responses. Our minimum pay threshold ensures you get the detailed data you need and participants get the compensation they deserve.

Safe

We protect the identities of our participants. You get their honest responses because they feel secure in giving them.

Free

Participants always opt in to tasks. They don’t have to take part in anything they don’t want to do.
