Pros:

-The Respondent platform has helped me to participate in both moderated and unmoderated studies of many companies. -Software, mobile applications, websites, are a few types of studies this platform provides us to test. - This platform pay well to the user for taking part in studies that help to make the web better.

Cons:

The thing I did not like about this platform is that we have to fill out surveys all the time to take part in studies and it's there are very few studies where you will be invited to take part. I filled out around 13-14 surveys and only receive an invitation for 1 study.

Reasons for switching to Respondent

Not receiving invitations to take part in studies

Pros:

It is a great way of earning some side money by participanting in researches and answering questions.

Cons:

Some of the studies that are fit for you take a lot of time to give response back or even in the starting phase when you submit for a study it takes so long to change its status and see if you're a good fit or not.

Reasons for switching to Respondent

Because respondent has more variety of studies

Respondent makes it simple to find relevant opportunities and earn for sharing your opinions!

Overall, Respondent's layout is very easy to navigate and has provided me some nice opportunities to earn for simply providing my opinions on various topics.

Pros:

Respondent filters for relevant surveys and tasks based on your provided profile. This makes it easy to only see the applicable content for you and weed out those that aren't to save your time.

Cons:

My success rate of passing qualification tests and being able to actually contribute to the surveys and tasks is relatively low, especially when I compare this to other platforms I have used for the same amount of time/even less. This makes me question how reasonable Respondent is overall in terms of screening users for participation.

NEVER GOT PAID

RESPONDENT- Never got paid at all, a dubious company. The company sounds and looks legit, masked as a professional survey company. But dubious. I'm giving a review after I had ignored the invitation from this survey company for quite a while now. This was after I had completed two surveys for their New York client about sleeping patterns. It was a long and detailed questionnaire, and the pay for participation is $250USD. The other survey, a short one regarding health habits, promised a $100USD.However, for both completed surveys, I was never paid at all. I emailed them about the pay I never heard from them at all. And they were not that consistent anymore in sending surveys after the payment inquiry. Lately, I received a few invites again from the same research company, but I ignored them since I felt it was too good to be true after what I had experienced with them. This was validated by my research about the company after reading REVIEWS. It's best to avoid or be extra cautious doing such kinds of side gigs or survey tasks, and when in doubt, better to listen to one's instincts.

Pros:

In just the first few weeks as a Respondent participant, I was paid a total of $185 for 3 studies. They are NOT a scam. This is a legitimate website where you can contribute your skills and a bit of to take part in studies. I feel like my input is valuable because they pay me to give it!

Cons:

One of the studies I was invited to eas completed on a separate app and it was a bit confusing. Their support team is great though, and typically responds within just hours, not days later.

Pros:

Platform is relatively easy to use, and there is plenty of tasks. I did make some money off this but as I wasn’t tracking the payments I reckon I have missed as many incentives as I received.

Cons:

Some research companies don’t pay and respondent will take the side of them. I did multiple research tasks and no payment received from provider and on the last one when I emailed respondent about it I got a generic sorry but we are not sorry email
