Project Management Classified **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Scott S. | Systems Analyst, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 26, 2021 **What do you like best about Respondent?** I like respondent because they are very organized and straightforward in presenting the different projects and jobs to their participants. And they deliver excellent content to all researchers. Content gotten from respondent is exceptionally good and worthwhile. They use screeners, a unique added feature that makes sure one is truly qualified for a particular opportunity before you are connected to the company. **What do you dislike about Respondent?** What I dislike about respondent is the simple fact you can access projects publicly without upgrading to their paid system. This may be part of their policy to guarantee quality, but it's still a very annoying aspect that discourages me from using their product. **What problems is Respondent solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am very impressed with the system because it helps me in getting a lot of work done by connecting me to qualified workers I am very impressed with the quality of work and the payout system, which is very good and encouraging to both researchers and participants. Over all their system has provided me with a lot of good contacts that I can use for future references should the occasion arise. ### 6. One of the best platforms to conduct your own as well as take part in other researches. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Abhishek J. | Vice President (Media Relations Club), Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2021 **What do you like best about Respondent?** Researchers get a an huge array of research and users as their respondents. Users get a incentivized payouts while researches and surveys are matched based on user's profile giving users a simple UI to work with. Integration with calendar is just a cherry on top of the cake. **What do you dislike about Respondent?** The majority of the surveys are technical knowledge based, and the profile rating/review system is only accessible to the researcher, not the participant. **Recommendations to others considering Respondent:** Users can participate and earn quite good amount for providing honest feedback. All the payments are made on time and via Paypal. **What problems is Respondent solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being a regular user of different research/survey platform, this platform provides video 1:1 facility which helps in overcoming the lack of personal touch and help analyze facial expressions of the respondent. Plus it pays well to the respondents to take part in certain researches. I used it on the behalf of my education institution to conduct surveys regarding various parameters such as students and teacher's satisfaction. ### 7. Respondent - A survey software **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 09, 2022 **What do you like best about Respondent?** The best survey software, here you can easily share your knowledge and earn some pocket money. you can also interact with researchers from anywhere in this world **What do you dislike about Respondent?** I don't have any dislike for this survey platform.

NIce way to access users but needs some improvement in their user experience **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 17, 2021 **What do you like best about Respondent?** I like how easy it is to reach participants and post a project. **What do you dislike about Respondent?** There is a lot of room for improvement. There need to be more filters and ways to screen through participants who have applied to take part in the study. Currently, the given filters are not enough to meet all my needs. Also, the screener question formats are limited. What I really dislike is how the options for screening out previous participants is so limited. You can't screen out people who have participated in a particular project only those who have participated previously over a set period of time. Also, the system doesn't update in real-time, you constantly have to refresh or it out and go back in to see updates. Also, it is not set up to easily do survey studies. **Recommendations to others considering Respondent:** If you have primarily interview studies, this tool will work for you. If you have a quantitative study then it will require a bit more leg work to avoid confusion for your participants. **What problems is Respondent solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were able to access consumers for a project very quickly. ### 9.

I use it to complete surveys and sign up for interviews with companies. I have used other interview and survery websites, and I find Respondent is by far the best. **What do you dislike about Respondent?** I don't particularly appreciate that while the program DOES show you when you have received a message, it does not show you unless you get into the messenger. It doesn't show you that you have 25 new messages or something until you click on the message box. It would be nice to be notified as soon as you log onto the platform that you have unread messages. **What problems is Respondent solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use it to complete interviews and surveys. I have realized that it outpaces its competition. ### 11. I see a huge possibility to help lives through this site.

Participants have very reliable attendance and have been engaged and motivated to share constructive feedback. I have had most success recruiting mid-level of seniority up to Director level. **What do you dislike about Respondent?** For some studies, I need a bigger pool of applicants to select from. If I am recruiting a handful of applicants for a longer interview and paying a higher incentive, I feel I should get more to select from vs the default of 2x the intended number of target participants.

For example the NDA is very restricted, it would be great if Respondent have a feature that allow participants to "digital sign" the document. Other than that, some feature could be more "horizontal" and make it easier for me to orient across different participant projects that I opened for the same study. **What problems is Respondent solving and how is that benefiting you?** Fast and transparent recruitment. It allowed me to shorten recruitment time to one week instead of two weeks when I worked with external recruitment agencies. ### 32.

It is the best tool to quickly find quality respondents. It's easy to use and the Tech Team is always available to help. I highly recommend for anyone doing qual work. **What do you dislike about Respondent?** I don't like that you have to pay the full platform fee if you use a Respondent 2x. I completly understand the full 1/2 incentive fee for the first connect. But, I've met really good Respondents here that I'd like to talk to again in future work. As is I have to pay the full 1/2 incentive fee every time. That will add up. It would be nice to give Researchers some break on this. I also used to really dislike the calendar but they fixed it and now it's much easier. Thank you! **Recommendations to others considering Respondent:** It's great tool, go for it! **What problems is Respondent solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm recruiting respondents for qualitative research for large and small Clients.

It makes creating and sharing clips and highlights from user interviews much easier. **What do you dislike about Respondent?** Not as easy to use when analyzing recordings of unmoderated tests because the test is not split up by task and the video player is pretty bare bones (no ability to change speed or skip ahead back, and chrome extensions can be buggy). **What problems is Respondent solving and how is that benefiting you?** Love that highlight reels automatically include captions, which you can manually edit. ### 39. The best way to earn money on internet **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jonathan A. | Analista de Assuntos Regulatórios com foco em DMF, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2020 **What do you like best about Respondent?** The way researchers invite us to participate in surveys. Respondent is very easy to use. **What do you dislike about Respondent?** The limitation to participate in the surveys a day and the fact that I just can change my personal information once a month. **What problems is Respondent solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helped me to earn extra money during pandemic. ### 40. Best Survey Website **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kevin R. | Security Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 27, 2020 **What do you like best about Respondent?** I like how they are straightforward if you pass the screening process and how much you will make and time to spend doing the survey. **What do you dislike about Respondent?** I dislike there not being more variety and available studies for the average person. **Recommendations to others considering Respondent:** Check website often for new surveys and refer friends for bonuses. **What problems is Respondent solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am able to have some extra income on the side for bills with respondent. ### 41. Great Platform to help participate in research study **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Arun T. | Member of Technical Staff II, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 28, 2019 **What do you like best about Respondent?** Helps us to connect with research groups in top organisations to have a look at their beta/ early stage products. Gives us the pleasure in helping create impact to products by sharing suggestions and interacting with quality researchers **What do you dislike about Respondent?** Nothing much as of now, been using from feb 2019. The previous interface was not mobile friendly and they have updated the interface which looks better on mobile. **Recommendations to others considering Respondent:** You might have to take multiple surveys to be selected to in some survey but you might be lucky enough to get within first few surveys but keep trying because it is worth the effort and you will end up being happy that you have contributed to research work. **What problems is Respondent solving and how is that benefiting you?** I love to contribute to products and new things which will have impact on millions of people either directly or indirectly, I feel like I have contributed something for the research and my thoughts and ideas are taken into consideration for shaping products which is a great benefit apart from the compensation which is also worth it. ### 42. Easy to use, responsive panel, recent hike in price **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Danielle C. | User Experience Research Ops, Information Technology and Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 14, 2019 **What do you like best about Respondent?** This platform is pretty simple to use and our folks running research with non-customers report great things. We simply grant them access and they have typically been able to complete an entire recruit+study self-service. This makes my life easier, and keeps our customers "reserved" for the more specific research, and I haven't heard complaints about participant quality. **What do you dislike about Respondent?** The hike in fees per incentive has affected how much we're relying on external research and putting more burden on customer research. I would love a way to utilize the service for contacting our own customers, but there's PII risk and so can't take full advantage. Wish that the NDA was simpler - those running studies have told me they opt not to send one because of usability. **What problems is Respondent solving and how is that benefiting you?** Running fast-turn around UXR studies with non-customers based on certain job criteria or attitudes. The ability to screen and qualify/disqualify people in an organized/timely way has taken a lot of friction out of the recruiting process when we don't need to talk to our specific customers but people similar to the population. ### 43. Very Useful All-In-One Tool for User Research **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jacque H. | User Experience, Internet, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 21, 2019 **What do you like best about Respondent?** Respondent combines recruiting, screening and compensation all into one place and one billing system. Being able to place ads, then write a screener and review potential respondents and then finally make payment to participants all through one interface/company was truly liberating. **What do you dislike about Respondent?** At the time I was actively using Respondent, there were some minor inconveniences—or perhaps I should say "opportunities"—in the web interface. I know that the company has been continually working with the feedback they receive to make improvements. I bet many of my concerns have been addressed. We had difficulty recruiting users in China; but company representatives warned me about that before I even started, so it is not really a knock against them! **Recommendations to others considering Respondent:** Take care to write a good screener, and don't be over-ambitious in trying to recruit too many kinds of user with a single screener. Better to start several "sub-projects" to get the right users—even though it can be a bit of a hassle to administer. **What problems is Respondent solving and how is that benefiting you?** I completed a small international study interviewing people in six countries. To complete the recruit for this and organize compensation through one of the traditional recruiting firms would have been 1) very expensive and 2) taken weeks and weeks longer than my timeframe allowed. Respondent.io's use of digital tools and advertising networks dramatically shortened the time to acquisition of participants and literally made it possible for me to do this study. ### 44. Indispensable product! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andrew S. | Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 11, 2020 **What do you like best about Respondent?** It's the only cost-effective tool I know that allows conducting customer development interviews on foreign markets. UX is good. Also, I like the fact that you can check respondents' social media accounts - sometimes it helps to choose the right one. **What do you dislike about Respondent?** The only thing I'm missing is an automatic refresh - so that wouldn't need to refresh the page every time to check if I have new respondents or new messages from them. **What problems is Respondent solving and how is that benefiting you?** Customer development on foreign markets. Main benefits - saving time, great value for money, easy-to-use. ### 45. This is an amazing to make some extra cash by sharing your opinion! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chaz M. | Principal Talent Acquisition Partner, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 25, 2019 **What do you like best about Respondent?** I totally love Respondent & since joining this week, I have already made $25 & have completed quite a few qualifying surveys & am looking forward to completing more! My hope is that this will be a regular revenue stream for me on a monthly basis! **What do you dislike about Respondent?** I can't think of a downside, other than being chosen for more surveys! **What problems is Respondent solving and how is that benefiting you?** It would be nice to have the surveys that I have already applied for to disappear on my dashboard, as I am looking for more. I have clicked on the same survey, only to receive a message that I have already completed it. Perhaps, there is a way to make them disappear, after you apply. Benefits- Making Money from My Opinion!!! ### 46. Easy to Use tool and an amazing time saver **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Elizaveta V. | Product Designer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 22, 2019 **What do you like best about Respondent?** When you create a test you can set up a series of qualifying questions that basically take the place of a screening survey. You can also set title description etc and then sit back and watch the participants pile up! It automatically separates the applicants that qualify for your survey based on your criteria and then you can choose which ones you want. Also the calendar integration means no more long email chains going back and forth to find a time that works. It makes my life so much easier! I can decide to do user testing on a Monday and have all my participants booked by Tuesday - AMAZING! **What do you dislike about Respondent?** If you're not careful about the setting you select for a Test participants can reschedule up to 30 min before a user test and they can schedule an interview up to 30 min before a time, so sometimes it can be a little hard to plan your day. **What problems is Respondent solving and how is that benefiting you?** Respondent allows us to iterate quickly with design and get feedback from potential users. We use respondent, for all of our user testing now, and with the time it saves we have more time to work on other features! ### 47. Effective tool for online recruitment for wide range of studies. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Denzil J. | Consumer Research & Stories for Brands, Marketing and Advertising, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 12, 2019 **What do you like best about Respondent?** I've been in this business for 25 years, and Respondent does make it easy to find qualified people for my qualitative work. The project management design works great for my needs, and the people I've met have pretty much been good quality. **What do you dislike about Respondent?** I have been looking lately for college-aged students, and while there are a lot of them, I feel like I see some of the same names repeatedly. Perhaps its because I put the survey out there, and my demo responds. Also, the system does tell me about past participation so I can easily avoid people I've met before. So its not actually a big complaint. **What problems is Respondent solving and how is that benefiting you?** Fast, easy, and cost-effective recruiting tool. In the old days, I'd write a screener, send a file to the recruiter, they they would use my screener to make phone calls to their data base. That process was slower, and much more expensive per project. I like that I"m a bit more hands-on with Respondent. ### 48. This is the BIGGEST paying company on the internet **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Valentin B. | Physics Tutor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 11, 2019 **What do you like best about Respondent?** I found respondent some weeks ago, searching for earning opportunities on the internet. I registered at respondent, and after 2-3 weeks I started receiving qualifying surveys from them. You can immediately answer some qualifying surveys on registration, but the big paying opportunitoes come in 2-3 weeks. Important Companies pay 100-500 dollars to you for answering a 30 minutes -1 hour survey , that can be video recorded. You have to qualify for one of these surveys, but you are paid hundreds of dollars, if they consider that you can help them in their research. Please register at Respondent using my ref link https://app.respondent.io/r/valentinbogatu-5936362ab11d , I'll earn 20 dollars after you participate in one of their studies. I do recoomend you to try this company because I consider that it is the best earning comapny that I have found on the internet. They have many jobs, they are hirying and their website is simple, easy to use and to navigate. Every 3-6 weeks you will find 10 opportinuites to earn on 100-500 dollars for 1 hour of work. **What do you dislike about Respondent?** I do not dislike anything, they are the best paying company on the internet that i have found until now. **Recommendations to others considering Respondent:** After registering answer 1 or 2 screening surveys, then wait a little. They will send you earning opportunities after 2-3 weeks. **What problems is Respondent solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am helping other companies, with their needs. I am wating for the big dollars to come from helping these companies. ### 49. Legit but still has scammers **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Graphic Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 03, 2019 **What do you like best about Respondent?** Very fast payout for eligible surveys. Easy to customize so only relevant surveys are offered. **What do you dislike about Respondent?** The pre-screening questionnaire for some supposedly vetted researchers seem to be the actual survey itself in disguise, in order for the researcher to receive answers without having to commit to a payout. **What problems is Respondent solving and how is that benefiting you?** Great for quick cash. I apply to surveys in my spare time within a few minutes. ### 50. Appropriate Feedback at a fast response rate **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Siddhant D. | Graduate Assistant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 11, 2019 **What do you like best about Respondent?** The variety of surveys available and the prompt replies given by the researchers. **What do you dislike about Respondent?** The payment processing time can be very long sometimes and it's necessary to occasionally remind for payment processing. **What problems is Respondent solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am providing valuable feedback for different companies who want to test their product. I have realized that talking to company employees also gives me good experience and helps them test their prototypes. ## Respondent Discussions - [Is respondent legit?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/is-respondent-legit) - 8 comments, 5 upvotes - [l](https://www.g2.com/discussions/respondent-l) - 2 comments, 1 upvote - [Bagaimana mana cara memahami isi respondent](https://www.g2.com/discussions/bagaimana-mana-cara-memahami-isi-respondent) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [What is a respondent?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-a-respondent) - 3 comments, 1 upvote - [I am a lawyer here in Brazil and I wanted to respond to projects about legal software used in Brazil?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/sou-advogadoaqui-no-brasil-queria-responder-projetos-sobre-software-juridicos-usados-no-brasil) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [View Respondent pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/respondent/reviews?page=10§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-06-11+11%3A50%3A02+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=d29c4bc5-9b88-483c-95fb-6f092e2f9af3&secure%5Btoken%5D=8e31b297c52cbd5a3f2d9a2d17782267a4c5bb2cd974677619afba0b07b6e2e5&format=llm_user) ## Respondent Integrations - [Avatar Al](https://www.g2.com/products/avatar-al/reviews) - [Seamless (formally Seamless.AI)](https://www.g2.com/products/seamless-formally-seamless-ai/reviews) - [Zoom Workplace](https://www.g2.com/products/zoom-workplace/reviews) ## Respondent Features **User Response Methods** - Survey - Video Snippets - Video Interview **Feedback Source** - Invitation - Survey Link - App - Widget - Recruitment Pool **Survey Management** - Survey Builder - Question Types - Templates - Survey Distribution **Participant Selection** - Recruitment Pool **Feedback Management** - Media Library - Sorting - Sharing - Privacy **Survey Customization** - Branching/Skip Logic - Branding - Multimedia Support - Multilingual Surveys **Insights** - Analytics - Collaboration - Sorting **Insights** - Human Transcription - Computer Transcription - Analytics **Survey Insights** - Reporting & Analytics - BI Tools Integration - Data Exporting - Permissions **Generative AI** - AI Text Summarization **Agentic AI - Survey** - Adaptive Learning - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Agentic AI - Demo Automation** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - AI Demo Agent or Avatar ## Top Respondent Alternatives - [UserTesting](https://www.g2.com/products/usertesting/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (734 reviews) - [User Interviews](https://www.g2.com/products/user-interviews/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (680 reviews) - [Dscout](https://www.g2.com/products/dscout/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (182 reviews)
