Prolific

Prolific works with major universities and research centers that study everything from politics to consumer behavior. Each study pays differently but the pay and time commitment is disclosed up-front so you can pick and choose the surveys you’re willing to do. Many surveys take only a few minutes, so you might get just 50 cents or a dollar per survey. Still, the pay range works out to roughly $4 to $15 per hour, which is far and away the highest pay we’ve found with a survey site. Learn more about Prolific here.

Survey Junkie

There are a lot of sites that pay for answering survey questions for corporate market research. Of these, we like Survey Junkie the best. The reasons? While most surveys pay the equivalent of a few bucks an hour, Survey Junkie has occasional product review opportunities that can get you free stuff; sponsors some online focus groups that pay well –between $25 and $150 for a few hours of work. And it will sometimes enlist you for telephone product interviews that pay $5 to $100. It is also highly transparent. You can learn more here.
