Great service with room for small improvements
I had a very positive experience overall. The process was smooth, and the team was professional and helpful. The quality of service is high, though I think the [speed/communication] could be just a bit faster. Still, I’m very happy and would recommend them.
The project 'returned'
The project was marked as 'returned' when I closed the window to take the assessment later. I contacted the organizer but never received a response, so I was unable to work on the project.
Need to be there, but works
Lowish pay and hard to get into the opportunities. But it deff works

This site is great to do some small tasks for some pocket money in free time while also doing something useful in return by participating in research, so i like this part, but the problem is that for example, it has been a month since i recieved any studies.

The website has shown great potential to earn some extra money outside of a normal job without costing too much of your time, even for people of othro countries which demographically whould not have many researchs (Brazil), great experience overall, just wish they would fix the problems with the prolific assistant already.
great for side income and safe to use
Useful for some extra income
Some researches are really interesting, and some studies are well paid.

Thats a great company, reliable and honest, its provide a great user experience
A WASTE OF TIME!
Tests are not worth the money...chump change! The ones that actually pay a somewhat decent amount are always "too full" and you have to wait a long time to see if you can actually take the test or not. A WASTE OF TIME!
Banned because of faulty ID verification
Signed up and went through the hoops answering multiple choice questions, writing paragraphs about superheroes and giving advice about when to trust reviews, answering info about me, etc, it took a chunk of time.
The last step was ID verification with my passport. The last time I had to do this with another company it took 3 attempts so I expected the same. It didnt go through first time and they blocked my account. I sent an appeal thinking it was automatic but I hadn't even used the platform so they'll surely unblock it so I can try it again. Got an email the next day saying my account has been 'carefully reviewed' and I was permanently banned. They wouldn't give me a reason but sent a generic list of potential reasons, none of which applied to me.
All I had done was the intro questions, didn't use a VPN, didn't use AI for the sample questions, etc. They said I also can't attempt to make a new account, so can't even try again in future. It's crazy that they're permanently banning based on software that's not 100% accurate. Since they do, ID verification should be the first step so I dont spend 20-30 minutes answering pointless application questions.
Trust is the main factor
Trust is the main factor. As a contributor, I can trust that host is authentic and is not scamming. Secondly, the process is defined very well. Third, Payments are shown upfront and you get paid accordingly. Fourth, easy cash outs.
I absolutely love Prolific
I absolutely love Prolific. I've been using it for years. It's reliable and fair and I actually enjoy the studies that come through here. 10/10 recommend!
Amazingly designed and implemented…
Amazingly designed and implemented community for participating in anonymous studies. Incredibly respectful of your time and rewards you for the effort you put in.

When I first signed up I thought it was going to be like the rest of them that you don’t really earn what they say you can and withdraw aswell so I was thrilled when I cashed out what I had earnt. I have withdrew over a hundred pounds now in under a month by only using the site occasionally! I will now use prolific more frequently to enjoy the cash benefits!! It does what it says it will do !!

A great way to earn a little extra money doing interesting and thought provoking surveys. The only caveat is that you do have to be quick applying for a survey, especially the higher paying ones, as they fill up extremely quickly
