How It Works

Major companies want to understand what their consumers think about their products and services. To do this they hire survey companies to ask people like you for your thoughts and opinions, in the form of online surveys.

To thank you for providing your valuable opinions, companies are willing to reward you with cash, gift vouchers and other rewards. You won’t get rich from doing online surveys, but if you like to get rewarded for giving your opinions, you’ve come to the right place!

SurveyCompare continuously searches the fairest, most trusted and most rewarding paid survey companies, and lets you easily join them all in one go. There is no catch, and best of all, it’s free!

  You will now be receiving regular survey invites straight to your e-mail inbox. Take part in as many surveys as you choose to, and get rewarded for each one!

• Can I really make money with online surveys?

  Yes! This is no get-rich quick scheme and won’t replace a full-time job, but if you’re willing to commit some time and effort into filling surveys, you’ll find that paid surveys are a great source of extra income!

  Your opinion is valuable to companies because it helps them find out exactly what you want and lets them bring better products and services to the market. This is why they’re happy to spend millions on market research every year, and this is why you get rewarded for taking their surveys.

• How often will I be ask to participate in surveys?

  This depends on your personal details (your age, gender, profession etc.), based on which survey companies will send survey invitations relevant to you. For example, surveys about products for children will only be sent to people with children in their households.

  However from our experience, each survey company typically sends around 10 invites per month. By joining more survey panels, you’ll be able to take part in more surveys and even pick and choose the ones that pay you the most!

• Do I need to pay anything?

  No, this site is completely free, and so are all the survey sites we introduce to you. You’ll never be asked to pay for anything or asked for your credit card details.

  On the contrary, it is your time and opinions that are valuable, and the purpose of SurveyCompare is to help you make money from taking surveys. Survey companies support us for finding new members to take their surveys, which allows us to offer you a free and impartial service.

  You should avoid any website that asks for money or promises unrealistic pay-out return for lists of survey companies, as they are almost certainly scam sites.

• How much can I earn?

  That depends on how much time you’re willing to invest in doing surveys. You won’t get rich, but you can earn a reasonable amount of rewards if you join the survey sites we recommend. Many survey takers find paid surveys a great way to save up for holidays and Christmas.

  Many survey companies will reward you with gift vouchers and points redeemable for cash, as well as sending you free products to test and entering you in prize draws. Information on how each company rewards you can be found on the next page of SurveyCompare.

• How will I be paid?

  Gift certificates and vouchers will usually be sent to you by email.

  Cash-paying survey companies will pay you directly by PayPal or cheque. PayPal is a free online account that allows you to easily and safely receive money electronically. This well-known online payment system is used by thousands of merchants worldwide.

• How long does an average survey take to complete?

  The number of questions asked varies from one survey to another, but it should usually take you around 10 to 20 minutes to fill in a survey. And remember, longer surveys usually mean higher rewards!

• Is this all online?

  Yes, everything is done online. You can fill surveys from your home PC, your laptop or even your phone. All you need is internet access and an email address!

• What’s the catch?

  There is no catch. At SurveyCompare, we provide a free service connecting you to the best survey companies, who then reward you for taking part in surveys. No fees, scams, no spam. We’re a real, registered company connecting survey takers with survey companies for the last 4 years.

• How does SurveyCompare make money?

  SurveyCompare is supported by the survey companies that we recommend, which allows us to provide you with a free, impartial and no-obligation service at no cost to you.

• Are these survey companies legitimate?

  Yes. All of the survey companies featured on SurveyCompare are members of ESOMAR and MRS (Market Research Society), which are the market research industry regulators that ensure the survey companies follow strict guidelines regarding members' privacy and data.

• Are my details safe?

  Yes, your details are safe. Your details will not be given to 3rd parties without your consent. Your details will only be held by us and any Survey Company that you choose to sign up with. You are free to unsubscribe from survey invites from any of these companies at any time. All Survey Companies we work with are large, highly reputable market research organisations.

• Will you spam me?

  Absolutely not. We hate SPAM as much as you do, and will never rent or sell your personal information to anyone without your consent. We will only ever send you occasional emails when new survey opportunities become available.

• Is there a contract?

  No, there are no contracts that tie you in and you can pause, stop or unsubscribe at any time. Participation is always voluntary, so if you don’t want to take part in a particular survey, you can simply ignore the survey invitation.

  You can easily unsubscribe from survey invites by clicking the ‘unsubscribe’ link you can find at the bottom of any survey invitation emails you receive.

• How old do I have to be?

  16 and above to join any of the survey panels we recommend, however some survey companies have a lower minimum age of 13 or 14 – you can see this on the next page when choosing the survey companies.
