SurveyCircle Reviews 132

Very easy surface. Simple to understand. Upgrade prices are fair and the free 75 slots offer you a great start for your survey.

The website is amazing and genuine!
I’ve been collecting data for over a year, and once I made an account on survey circle (and filled other’s surveys consistently) I’ve gained more than a hundred responses in less than a month!! Wish I knew it sooner.

SurveyCircle was very helpful. Thanks to SurveyCircle I could recruit over 150 participants via their platform. I experienced more than friendly and helpful support. After a few participants I had to delete because they did not answer properly, SurveyCircle did not hesitate to get me a few extra slots for free. The collaboration was enjoyable.

Fair mode of participant recruitment. Does not work very well will longitudinal research in my experience. Recruitment can take a lot of time, but works out in the end. Data quality was OK for me. Overall highly recommendable.

very easy and trustworthy way to get participants for your survey. they are very helpful if you have questions and quick to respond

SurveyCircle is very practical, especially because I was able to spread the recruitment effort over a longer period of time, as I had already collected points over several weeks in advance. This took a lot of stress off me during the actual survey phase, as recruitment via SurveyCircle ran more or less in parallel and I didn't have to spend any additional time on it. In total, I recruited 250 people via SurveyCircle and recruited around 250 people elsewhere at the same time. This brought me to around 500 people within 12 days. I would not have been able to achieve this in such a short period of time otherwise. The SurveyCircle team was also easy to reach if I had any questions and always provided friendly support. My only minor criticism is that the estimated processing times for the studies were often too long, at least for me. Since I finished faster than expected, I received several warnings. However, I don't know how this could be avoided. After all, pointless clicking should be avoided. In my case, I had no choice but to work through the studies much more slowly in order to collect the points.

Survey Circle has been the best tool to share my survey and recruit participants for my doctoral research where it helped me to collect most of the responses on a very low budget. It is trustworthy, reliable, valid, easy, accurate, transparent, with a super responsive team.
However, it is recommeneded that Survey Circle extend its capacity and representation in the middle east and Arab countries as I believe it will have a great impact on the academic and market researchers; it will help many students who are on a budget to overcome a serious challenge and reach the target population for their study as well as companies and business owners.

Overall, I had a really good experience and found SurveyCircle very helpful.

Some things to be aware of if you're thinking about using it: (1) there are things you can do that will have a significant impact on how many survey responses you get (e.g. some of the biggest ones are that you do need to take a lot of other people's surveys and get a lot of points before you start getting a lot of responses coming in, and also if your survey's too long, it's likely to get less responses); and (2) you will get some responses where people clearly answered very hastily and didn't fill it out properly (e.g. straight-lining scales in your survey), so you should probably have clear-cut criteria ready to use to exclude certain survey responses for when people have clearly just sped through it without answering it properly, which would screw up the validity of your study if you have enough of those responses in there.

So what I would say is that if you're aware of some of the limitations and challenges of SurveyCircle and willing to navigate those, it is worth using for many types of survey and can be a very useful tool. Just go in with your eyes wide open and try to use a strategy to get the most out of it.

Also, please, please, please, when you're answering other people's surveys to get points so your survey can get more responses, take the time to do it properly. DON'T just rush through it and not answer properly. Answer it how you'd want people to answer yours. I was saddened by how common it is for people to just rush through the survey in like 2 minutes and not even answer things properly (e.g. straight-lining and stuff like that). Don't be one of those people. If everyone did it like that, the platform would have no usefulness whatsoever. So just answer people's surveys properly.

I could never have collected so many survey responses without SurveyCircle. Nearly all responses were thoughtful and thorough, with less than 10 (out of 200) deemed invalid due to careless responding. And SurveyCircle readily reimbursed me for those duds! Additionally, customer service was professional, friendly, and fast.

I found SurveyCircle very easy and intuitive to use. The website is well structured, simple to navigate, and the instructions are clear at every stage, which made the whole process feel straightforward rather than overwhelming. I was able to collect around 90% of my survey responses through the platform, which was incredibly helpful for my research. I would definitely recommend SurveyCircle to other students and researchers looking for an efficient and supportive way to recruit participants.

very easy and intuitive to use, good option to get a lot of participants quickly

Truly a shocking website. Have to play a game with the slider and the dropdown list losing the name you're trying to allocate points to every time you attempt to do so.

I think most of us who are looking for participants for their surveys know the struggle and stress of finding them. SurveyCircle really helped me out here, reducing my stress and struggles by offering a fair and transparent solution for finding participants! Very happy with the service and results!!

Great website and great customer support! Surveycircle does everything it promises and is really easy to use. On top of that whenever I had a question or ran into an issue their customer support not only solved the problem immediately but were also incredibly nice and polite! I recommend Surveycircle 100%!

Very reliable platform, the service was great and I collected a lot of participants for my survey. The payment was safe and I would definitely recommend using it, if you need participants for a survey.

Surveycircle is a very practical tool for quickly gathering empirical data from a large number of participants. I used this platform for my master's thesis and can highly recommend it. The principle of how to attract participants while supporting other researchers is fair and easy to understand. In addition, the website is very user-friendly and any questions are answered quickly and accurately by the support team.

Wouldn‘t have accomplished my master-thesis research without SurveyCircle! Recruiting participants is tedious and SurveyCircle makes it way easier while also being able to help others in the same situation!

SurveyCircle is a fantastic tool for students and researchers looking to gather survey respondents without relying on a large personal network or expensive panels. While the website might seem a bit outdated and text-heavy at first glance, it’s easy to use and serves its purpose well. You might notice that longer or denser questionnaires don’t always perform as well. Since many users are trying to earn points quickly, shorter and more engaging surveys tend to get better results. But that’s something you can work around with good design.

Once you’ve earned enough points, the process becomes much more efficient and less time-consuming than trying to recruit through Facebook groups or other manual methods. Best of all, the team behind SurveyCircle is incredibly supportive, and responsive.

If you're looking for a low-cost, student-friendly way to get high-quality responses, SurveyCircle is absolutely worth it.

This website was really helpful to find people for my target audience. I'll admit I had to do many surveys to get to the top (about 100 of them), but this system worked better in my opinion that the "karma" system on SurveySwap, where you constantly had to complete surveys to gain points, which were then taken from you. At least on SurveyCircle I kept the points I earned. Within a week I got 100 participants, I'll clean my data soon and see how many are usable. I noticed some of them were not filled in properly, but customer service was very helpful and quick in replacing the slots I had left.

I have struggled before finding enough participants for surveys that I needed to do for University projects. The concept that SurveyCircle relies on is a great one - now, for my master's thesis I found:
- 180 participants
- who've passed all attention checks (mostly only motivated & honest participants on the platform)
- in 3 weeks
- with a super friendly support team that also helps you along the way (you get extra slots, if you can't use some data, because of participants who didn't pass the attention checks).

I highly recommend this platform!
