Questions, answered.

How much do these studies pay?
Up to $200/hr for an in-person shop-along. The exact amount depends on the study and how long the session runs, and it's shown before you book. Payment is sent through Tremendous once your session is verified, and Respondent takes no fee from your compensation.
A researcher meets you at a store and walks the aisles with you while you shop as you normally would. They'll ask what you're looking at, why you pick one product over another, and what you'd usually buy. There's nothing to prepare.
At a store near you, at a time you choose. Sessions run seven days a week including evenings and weekends, so you can book one around work or family.
No. You're never asked to pay to take part, and any purchases the study requires are covered separately by the researcher. Your compensation is yours.
Yes. Every researcher and study on Respondent is vetted, you'll never be asked to pay to take part, and your compensation is guaranteed once you complete the session. Respondent is rated 4.6/5 on G2 from 400+ reviews.
You stay on the panel. We only contact you when a real study matches your background, so expect occasional shopping and consumer studies rather than a stream of junk surveys.

A shopping trip you were making anyway is worth up to $200/hr.
