Questions

Common questions.

How much do people actually get paid?

$45– 80 per session depending on the study, category, and your reputation tier. Higher-reputation participants in specialised categories earn more. We don't gate payment on hosts remembering to mark you attended—it's automatic.

What does it cost to run a study?

Pricing is per-study and depends on the panel type: AI panels cost less and run instantly; live panels with real people cost more but give you real behaviour and nuance. We'll tell you the exact cost before you confirm.

Can I really get answers in an hour?

Yes for AI panels—instant. For live panels with real people, it depends on how specific your target is. A broad target (e.g. "e-commerce users in the US") takes 30–60 min. Very narrow targets (e.g. "SaaS founders with Series B funding in NYC") may take longer. Our setup screen shows you the realistic timeline before you start.

Are the people real?

On live panels, yes—real people, identity-verified, on camera. We also offer AI panels with simulated personas for sharpening your questions before you spend on real people. Both are clearly labelled.

How does reputation work?

You build reputation within categories by showing up, being rated by hosts, and engaging in the community. Higher reputation unlocks access to better-paying studies. It's earned, not gamed.

What happens to our session recording?

You own the recording. Hosts get a transcript, clips, and insights. We don't keep copies or share with third parties. Privacy and confidentiality are the foundation of trust here.

Two paths. Same platform.
