We offer a wide variety of research opportunities, including focus groups, one-on-one interviews, mock trials, product testing, ethnographic research, and usability testing for websites, apps, and other digital tools. Studies may take place in person or virtually, depending on the project.

Our research covers a broad range of consumer-related topics such as products, services, branding, advertising, packaging, marketing campaigns, and emerging trends. Whether it’s testing a new app, giving feedback on an ad, or sharing opinions about everyday products, participants play a valuable role in shaping what comes next.

Everyone’s voice matters. We encourage all individuals willing to participate and share their opinions to register for research and be part of our panel. Each study has its own eligibility requirements, and we review profiles to connect the right people with the right projects.

Study lengths vary depending on the type of project. For example, interviews are often about 1 hour, focus groups are generally 2 hours, and product testing can last several days or weeks.

Exact time commitments will always be shared upfront before participation.

You can select where and how you want to be paid. Common payment options include PayPal, AMEX gift cards, and Amazon gift cards. Specific payment details will always be shared before the study begins.

Payments are typically processed within 2–3 business days after the study is completed.
