Prolific: paid academic and commercial research studies

Studies show their payment and estimated time before you join, which makes it easier to compare them. There may be a waitlist, and you must match each study’s eligibility criteria.

How it works

Prolific is focused on academic and commercial research studies rather than the usual points-for-surveys model. Once accepted, you can see the pay and estimated duration before choosing a study, and approved work pays cash. There may be a waitlist, and each study has eligibility criteria; keeping your participant profile accurate helps you see work that fits.

Studies show their expected time and payment before you join, which makes comparing them easier. Being available when relevant work appears helps, but the waitlist and eligibility filters mean it should not be budgeted as guaranteed income.
