Four ways to put our research team to work.
Hand over the whole study, or just the part you would rather not do. Every service also stands on its own.
-
Study review & consultation
A senior researcher reads your questionnaire, your target sample and your budget, then tells you what is likely to break before you spend anything.
Free, no obligation -
Response collection
Give us the sample you need and we handle recruitment and fieldwork. 130+ countries, 1,000 to 5,000 responses a week, and you only pay for attentive, complete answers.
From €1,500 -
Data quality & fraud screening
Layered checks catch straightliners, click farms and AI bots before they reach your dataset. You see what we removed and why.
Included on every project -
Analysis & reporting
We clean and weight the data, run the cross-tabs and the significance tests, and write up what it actually says, so you can take it straight into a decision.
Optional add-on
What bad data cost these researchers.
Three published cases show why data quality deserves attention before your study goes live.
-
Criminal case
Over $10 million billed for tainted research
In the Op4G and Slice case, participants were paid to pose as legitimate survey takers. The Justice Department reported guilty pleas and more than $10 million billed for work tainted with fabricated data.
Check the sample yourself, whatever the provider promises.

Published research
Over 81% appeared to misrepresent their identity
Researchers buying a sample of current or former U.S. Army members found that more than 81% appeared to misrepresent their credentials. Similar problems appeared across several of the firm's sub-vendors.
For a niche audience, verify eligibility yourself.

Replication warning
A headline result fell from 20% to 3%
An opt-in poll's Holocaust-denial finding among U.S. adults under 30 did not replicate in Pew's probability-based panel. Pew said the difference was consistent with bogus respondents, not proof of fraud in each response.
A striking result often just reflects who answered.

These are separate cases with different methods, and their figures describe those studies only. Plenty of good panels exist. The point is that every panel carries some degree of fraud, so it pays to know how to protect yourself from it.
How a managed project works.
-
Tell us about the study
Two minutes: who you need, how many, and by when.
-
A call with a senior researcher
Someone with 15+ years in academic and market research checks the study is doable and points out what's likely to break before you spend anything.
-
A plan and a fixed quote
Sample, quotas, countries, timeline and price, in writing. You decide from there.
-
Your survey, ready for fieldwork
Bring your own survey tool, or build it with us in SampleLabs. We review the length, the screening questions and the logic.
-
Recruitment and fieldwork
1,000 to 5,000 responses a week, depending on how specific the audience is.
-
Every answer checked, clean data delivered
Each response is checked for speeding, straight-lining, bots and AI-written answers. You see what we removed and why, and you only pay for attentive, complete responses. Analysis and a write-up are an optional add-on.
Trusted with studies that matter.
A few of the projects our team has run.
SurveySwap is a real life saver! Our project with P&G would have went down the drain if it wasn’t for the expertise and guidance of the SurveySwap team.
Questions buyers ask.
Do our clients deal with you?
No. You keep the client and the relationship. We work with your team behind the scenes.
Why not just survey our own users?
Do that too. We add the people who aren't on your platform, so results don't only reflect your users.
How do we price it to our clients?
You get a fixed price per project from us, so you can set your own price on top.
What does a fully managed survey project include?
A senior researcher reviews your study first. Then we plan the sample, recruit, run fieldwork, check every answer and deliver clean data. Analysis and reporting are optional.
How much does a managed survey project cost?
Most projects start around €3,000 for 2,000 or more responses. The price depends on the audience, the survey length and the deadline. You get a fixed quote after the call, and you only pay for attentive, complete responses.
How fast can you collect survey responses?
1,000 to 5,000 responses a week, depending on how specific the audience is. Put your deadline on the form and we'll tell you on the call whether it's realistic.
Can you reach niche or B2B audiences?
Yes: specific jobs and industries, people with specific health conditions, or representative samples with quotas. If an audience can't be reached in your time frame, we say so before you pay anything.
Which countries can you recruit in?
More than 130 countries, in one project or across several.
Can I use my own survey tool?
Yes. Keep the tool you already use, or build the survey in SampleLabs and we'll set it up with you.
How do you keep bots and AI-written answers out?
Every response goes through Protect's checks for bots, duplicates, rushing and AI-written text before it counts. We show you what we removed and why.
What if I need fewer than 2,000 responses?
Use Recruit: pick the size and the audience and pay online, with no call needed.
