I’m from Saudi Arabia
I’m from Saudi Arabia, and this is the first survey site I’ve genuinely liked. I actually earned $100 from a research interview about hotels and my experience with them. The session lasted 60 minutes with the lovely researcher Anna — she was very kind and made the interview extremely comfortable. It was a one-on-one conversation, with no one else present. The questions were easy, and I didn’t even have to answer everything; I simply shared my opinions. I highly recommend this platform!
Great platform allow I keep getting…
Great platform allow I keep getting kicked off survey but I will keep trying
Overall very positive experience
I was skeptical due to the negative reviews but after using Respondent for 3 months, I am very positive. It is a great way to earn some extra cash on the side. I have been paid for the studies I participated in. The only two points that are a bit annoying are 1) for studies where the payment is above $20 dollars, you get paid gift cards and 2) most available studies look for a very specific target group, so not many studies are available. I would say I am able to participate about once every two weeks on average. Overall very positive experience! Would recommend.
Starting to get a little leery of this website...I hope they make some changes
I previously loved Respondent for the most part, but there's a couple areas they really need to improve in that have been frustrating as of late. One is the limitation on the number of screeners we are allowed to take in a 24 hour period. This has got to go. Maybe you could limit by the number of screeners the person actually makes it through all the way, but when it kicks you out on the first question, 3rd question, or anytime before you successfully get to the end, which means you will not get selected for the study and it disqualified you, why should that count against someone's 10 allowed for the day. Today alone I think my first 5 of 10 screeners all disqualified me at some point which really sucks. That means I could have applied to 5 other ones and actually had a chance to make money on them but apparently I chose the wrong ones and now half of mine so far for the day were a total waste that I won't see a dime for. You have got to change this Respondent. You are the ONLY site that has a limitation like this and it's awful and serves literally no purpose other than to ensure people can't make money. I'm starting to make more on other sites now that don't have this limitation and it's making your site less attractive. The other thing that needs to change is your customer service. They are extremely slow to respond, do not follow up, and when you ask for an update you get a nasty gram that you need to be patient and wait. You also do not protect the participants, you side with the researchers. You also do not honor your FAQ articles. I battled a payment issue for months and finally had to give up where I showed up and the researcher didn't. I had all the receipts and per your help article I deserved payment. You did not help me, you covered for the researcher. You are doing the same thing right now on another one that hasn't paid me and I don't anticipate you will help me on that one either, and on that one I completed the assignment and have screenshots and proof just like I did on the other, which you are ignoring. I'm also about to have another one that is past the 10 business day mark, which I will need to email you about and you probably won't help me on that one either. You aren't doing your job, you're not protecting the participants and the money they rightfully earned, and you're not even following protocol for your own help articles. I'm starting to get a little leery of the website to be honest. If there's no customer service or accountability that you will have my back and get payment from the researcher that they owe me, then why would I use your site at all? And it seems to be getting worse. You need to fix your problems. Quickly. It's borderline starting to feel like a scam. You owe me almost $200 right now.

Okay, I Guess...
I wanted to make sure they were legit, so after I qualified for, then completed my first survey, I waited before I took any others. I did so because they said I would get paid within the next 14 days (I really don't understand this wait time when other companies pay immediately, but alright). I wanted to make sure they weren't counting on me forgetting and that they really would pay. After about 10 days, they paid me as promised. One problem. The survey was supposed to pay $5 but I only got $4. Well, maybe there's some kind of admin fee I didn't read closely enough about. Still happy they kept their promise, I then began to try for their other jobs. So far, I haven't gotten any offers after I take the initial screening and now they're telling me I've reached the maximum amount of screenings allowed in a certain time frame. Seems like there's a lot of "Hurry up and wait" going on with Respondent. This slowdown isn't the best for people who are really looking for reliable extra income.
Rip Off? Be careful about wasting your time...
Be careful about wasting your time with this service as the "screener questions" from companies offering payment often turn out to be very comprehensive and then, strangely enough, you never hear back and "the project is closed.
The new update steals your information
They use to be really good they were one of my favorites till recently. Since they updated their site now when you finish a study it saves your data and then says they have reached the maximum number of participants and don't need your information and support won't fix it they don't seem to care. I have had it happen with my last 3 studies
