Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 6,895 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently find the platform easy to use, appreciating the seamless user experience and well-organized website. Many highlight the value for money, noting that the surveys offer fair compensation for their time and effort, making it a good way to earn extra income. Reviewers are particularly satisfied with the payment process, describing it as timely, quick, and efficient, with payouts often received within minutes. The service is generally praised for offering a variety of interesting studies and for valuing participants' opinions without disqualifying them frequently. However, some customers also noted issues with the identity verification process, finding it intrusive and occasionally leading to account blocks without clear reasons. A few other people also felt that the number of available studies has decreased, especially for long-time users, and some experienced surveys timing out after completion.

This is a great app.

This is a great app.
I often qualify and am paid well. Most apps of this kind screen me out most of the time. If it happens here, you get paid a bit anyway. Also, cashing out is very simple and the funds are available within a couple minutes on my PayPal. I highly recommend this app.

The studies are always available to choose. They are within my capacity to understand what it asks me to do. The payment time needs a little bit of improvement. But overall I am impressed with this app's existence that's why i recommended this to people I know.

Went through entire assessments and verifications, and when it's time for my ID verification I use my real ID and facial recognition, and they ban my account for absolutely no reason? Huge waste of time and effort to get rejected for absolutely no reason and no explanation. Support was useless.

Prolific is a great survey site

Prolific is a great survey site that pays people to complete really interesting surveys for really important causes. The site is well thought out and well-organised, with clear identification of surveys and where you are in the payment process.
