User Interviews is a research platform that connects participants with companies and researchers looking for feedback.
Payment is via choice of a range of digital gift cards such as Amazon, Nintendo & Apple.
The studies are quite niche so relating to the industry you work in so as someone from a HR background I have given feedback on software for $40.00 but there are also unmoderated studies where you can earn $10.00.
If you sign up via my link https://www.userinterviews.com/r/zlktabnen and complete a study then we will both get $10.00.

A passive way to earn yourself points towards purchasing gift cards by using Bing as your search engine or just simply completing the daily tasks. Personally I can't tolerate how useless Bing is for the results so I only use it on my work computer. T...
I also have the Bing app installed on my phone because you can do daily check-ins/searches to get yourself an additional 1,000 points each week!

- What's one whimsical or imaginative goal you want to achieve in 2025.
- What's a dream project you want to start or complete in 2025.
- Tell us about your shopping habits this past week.
- What's a simple thing that makes you smile.

Influence - Paid Video Surveys
Askable is a user research recruitment platform. It's not a regular earner, in the 2 months I've used it I've made £60.00. I gave feedback on betting websites and one short survey where I got £5 for 5 minutes work.
They will pay out to PayPal but also an e-gift card.

UserCrowd pays you to give feedback on websites, apps, and test prototypes. The studies will either need to be completed on mobile or desktop.
The mobile studies will pay between $0.20-0.60, whereas the desktop studies will generally be longer and involve screensharing and you speaking your thoughts. Whenever there is a new study they will notify you. Some studies have screeners and even if...

Respondent is a site where you are paid to participate in market research projects by completing surveys, interviews, product testing, and focus groups.
It's not a regular earner for me as you need to complete a screener for each project and they won't always be a fit i.e. a project looking for Financial Advisors, Portfolio Managers & Risk Experts.
The projects are quite industry/employment based so if you work in finance I would say you'll find plenty of studies to complete.
Payment for studies is PayPal.

inCompass Research Panel (UK only)
NielsenIQ Scanning Panel is a consumer research program where people scan their purchases so they can understand consumers' shopping habits and the prices.
Simply download the app, scan barcodes of products you buy and sometimes you get surveys for additonal points.
The points can be redeemed on their catalogue for vouchers. For reference 2,961 points equates to £25 worth of a voucher.
I don't think the Scanning Panel is the biggest earner but I live close by a supermarket and do many wee shops so not bad when you'll only scan 5 items at a time (I don't bother when I am doing my big weekly shops)
