I have nothing to complain about
I have nothing to complain about. I've done several types of surveys and have always been paid correctly.
Respondent is the best survey site.
For me, it would be a 5 because Respondent offers a great diversity of surveys, ranging from professional topics to hobbies.
FAKE PLATFORM WITH FAKE REVIEWS!
This platform is pure crap! You never receive any jobs. Even if you might apply to an interview, it suddenly disappears, after you wanted to actually start it! Furthermore there are countless fake reviews (just look on Oct. 2nd, with dozens of very short positive reviews on the same day, that never happens on any serious site at all!) Hence, all fake! Just keep away from this site at all costs!
Generally a waste of time
Generally a waste of time. Only got two replies from about 40 survey applications, and neither went forward. Most applications required answering more than a dozen questions too. Not an outright scam, but also not worth it at all.

Wow it would love it if I get more and more invitation.
They collect a lot of your data. Not worth it
I signed up in the spring of 2025. You figure out right away that you don’t get chosen for many of the surveys you apply to. At first you could only apply to 3 / day but over the summer that number grew to 10. If you have a FT job, it seems like you get picked more often. Since August, I have been picked for only one study and that study never paid me, despite reaching out to support and the researcher multiple times. Now Respondent sends me listings like normal - to apply, you give them data about you. For almost 3 months, they get all my data but I am not chosen.
Nothing changed on my end except that I was laid off. These surveys are supposed to value your input and opinion. Now after applying for so many and being chosen so little, it seems a lot more like Respondent.io is just a data collection scheme. It’s either broken or it was always shady. Beware!!
Reward delay and cancelation
If possible I would give them a 0 star.
Reward cancelation after receiving the incentives is all the do. They have a very poor customer service as they do not reply emails.
There is NO customer service
There is NO customer service. It says that you can contact customer support in the help center and that there is a chat option. However, the chat just gives you articles to read with no support or help whatsoever. After 45 minutes of trying various ways to connect with someone who can help me with a small issue I've been having as a participant, I still have not found a way to do so, and keep going in circles.
Respondent is a fantastic platform
Respondent is a fantastic platform. It is really straightforward to use as a participant and they have a lot of choice when it comes to studies. Highly recommend!

it was the amount of study that they have is very much satisfying
Good but could be great!!
It could have been a 5 but the customer service and ability to speak to someone often leaves you hanging. Overall good!!
I love Respondent
I love Respondent, they are one of my favorite sites to go to when I am looking for high paying studies.

My experience has been pretty positive except the asymmetrical time period it takes for researchers and participants. I feel it should be both either before 24 hours or 4 hours for both to make it fair for both.
Incentives are great on Respondent
Incentives are great on Respondent. But be aware, you will get tonnes of emails you are not eligible for. Just delete and wait until the next survey comes along :)
Respondent is LIT and LEGIT!
It's almost a year now that I've started earning from Respondent as a participant in projects/studies, and my experience so far has been amazing. The platform is easy to use and the email notifications for new projects are very helpful for you to get updated of possible means/opportunities to earn. I've been earning passively without any hassle or issue, so huge thanks to you, Respondent! :)
Reliable and robust
Respondent has the best market research opportunities available to participants. You could easily spend an hour on there just scrolling through the various studies. There is a five application max per 24hrs; prob to prevent applicant spams so keep in mind as you choose. If you get the feeling you wont qualify, simply Exit Survey and it wont count toward your five allotted. Payment after participation is quick and easy. My favorite platform and making a few extra bucks here and there is always fun.
Easy and convenient
Absolutely love the site. It is super easy and convinient to use. I love the wide variety of options to choose from when looking for a survey. I do wish that you could see why you don’t qualify for a specific survey. Or if the site automatically knows that you don’t qualify then maybe don’t have it show up in the search.
