I regret to confirm what I reading here on some recent reviews. I took part to a number of services and have not received a payment. When I contact them, no answer.

Had to send complaint to get paid.

Same experience as others. They promise to pay, but never actually do, just continue to push project dates. I do not recommend it to anyone.

Correction: After complaining here on trustpilot.com and sending a message to the project team, they have finally paid. This however does not change my rating as you should not be expected to complain to get paid.

Hi Mike, I totally understand your frustration and this can be agitating not just for you but anyone who has contributed their time and efforts to studies, But, to let you know, we work with 25,000 + experts and conduct 50,000+ surveys annually. Our payment process was manual earlier which caused the delays, we understood the gap and have worked quite hard on building automation that sends us the payment as soon as the project is completed. We make sure to leave our experts with a great experience and the team strives hard to make every contribution count. Hope this helps. Please do let me know if I can resolve any older issues for you, would be more than happy to do so.

They don't pay you

Complete a survey and they issue a project completion date. When that date arrives it passes without the project completing and then the date slips a, week. And repeat for weeks and months. Never getting your payment.

Avoid avoid avoid.

When you message them they never reply.

No - in contrast to their response it was not an isolated occurence. This happened on all 3 of the surveys completed with them. As other's have said, they are best avoided.

Hi Mike, this could have been one odd instance, we conduct numerous studies and the payment was made as soon as the project was completed. Could you please help with your email address so I can resolve your issue asap. Sharing my LinkedIn here (just in case ): https://www.linkedin.com/in/mir-muffakham-ali/

DO NOT USE CLEVERX or do their surveys!

First of all, they tell you what to say to qualify, so even if you're not qualified, they accept your survey if you punch in what they've told you.

Secondly, After doing so, it has twice shown, "100% Complete" for :15 and then switches to another screen that says something like the survey has maxed out or some note that you have not completed it - AFTER the full survey is done, which is about 20 minutes. This company is unethical and/or disorganized so DO NOT USE CLEVERX or do their surveys! The person helping me was kind enough but kept stringing me along. After three surveys and about an hour of wasted time, I will receive $0 and they have three, free surveys.

poor experience

Hi, Some time ago I finished Google Ads Geist - US survey and two months later, my Wallet shows 0...other of your workmates didn't reply so maybe you will be the first one. In general my experience with Cleverx is very poor..

Hi KG,

We collected minimal response from the Polan and the client has rejected all the responses stating the quality was poor. hence, the payment did not go through. We can connect over Linekdin and I can share with you more studies that come our way in Poland.

Overall good, but needs improvement

An overall good experience, but they need to optimise their payout system. Very often you need to chase people for the payment and it's a very specific email. The people who assign you the survey won't usually respond.

Hi Sophia,

Could you please share your email address with me? I can quickly look into the due's and let you know what you have not been paid yet.

They don't pay

They don't pay - clearly some liquidity issues, so don't expect to get what you're owed. And being that you get the screener answers, hard to trust them if I was a business. I'll give them an extra star for their UX and web based approach (that would be nice... if they paid lol).

Hi EB,

We regret the inconvenience caused, all the payments are made in a timely manner except for the ones that have some issue with the response rate. Most of the time, clients reject the response due to bad or poor data, hence the issue. if you could let me know about the issue I can solve it right away or you can share your email address with me and I will look into it. Thanks
