Before you dive in

What Respondent’s own pages say, checked by us. Advertised rates are not verified earnings, and an application link does not mean paid tasks are available.

ApplicationsCompany-stated

Sign up free as a participant and build a profile; Respondent says sign-up takes about 90 seconds and needs no credit card. You then answer screener questions for individual studies, and researchers choose who to invite.

Country eligibilityCompany-stated

Respondent describes a panel in 150+ countries and lists 21 primary markets, including the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, France and India. Many example studies are limited to the US or a few countries, and the sign-up page is English only, so expect fewer studies outside the main markets.

Getting paidSources disagree

Official pages disagree. The participants page says Tremendous payouts arrive within a few days and charge no fees. The help center says most payments arrive 7 to 10 business days after the researcher confirms attendance, are paid in USD as a gift card of your choice (for example Visa prepaid or Amazon), and have a 5% fulfillment fee (minimum $1) deducted.

RequirementsCompany-stated

You must be 18 or older. Researchers select from detailed profiles: job title, industry, tools, languages and a required front-facing profile photo. Respondent verifies identity once, and profiles that don't match your screener answers are less likely to be picked.

Assessments and unpaid timeNot fully confirmed

There is no entry test. Each study has its own screener questions, and the researcher decides whether to invite you. Respondent says you will never be asked to pay to participate. Whether screeners themselves are paid is not stated.

    Good way to make extra cash

    I’ve been using respondent.Io for almost a year now and I’ve completed over 10 focus groups, which I’ve been paid for each time. I’ve completed several focus groups where I’ve received payment via PayPal, visa, debit cards, virtual visa, debit cards, checks, and other forms of gift cards. I highly recommend signing up as a participant with this organization to do group if you’re looking to make some extra cash on the side. Most groups pay $20-$250; however, there are some groups that pay less than $20 or more than $250, but these are uncommon.
