How it works
You apply to studies through screeners. If selected, you take part and are paid either by User Interviews or directly by the researcher.
The catch
Studies paid by the platform use digital gift cards rather than PayPal or bank transfer. Researchers can withhold pay for lateness or unfinished tasks. Finder reports tax forms apply at $600 or more a year, so check the current threshold.
Who it suits
People with time for scheduled sessions. Finder reports an average above $45 per study.
