11 Great Paid Survey Sites That Pay For Your Opinion
by Admin Joe
updated – June 2nd 2020
As budding survey participants, clearly we want to get paid generously for taking surveys. Additionally, we also want to find survey panels that we know won’t let us down in other areas.
Which survey sites should I sign up to? Money isn’t everything. You know there are plenty of other elements worth considering when it comes to taking paid surveys, right? Furthermore, these aspects can be just as important, they include:
- high number of invitations
- good chance of qualifying
- few in-survey errors
- low payment threshold
- quick and safe withdrawal
- fun survey content
- screen out compensation
- a wide range of payment methods and rewards
- short survey length
- competitions
- paid polls
I already made a list of fantastic paid survey panels offering big rewards. You may have read this post previously.
In like manner, I will provide a link for this. The ones I’m going to talk about now didn’t quite make it into my 9 Insanely High Paying Survey Sites That Pay More Than Some Jobs list. However, they are still good nevertheless.
In this post I will point out some additional paid survey companies. In my opinion, I have found these ones to be reliable and trustworthy. Correspondingly, in this rundown I shall start by listing the best first.
1. Panel Opinion
I have found that the surveys are quite scarce with this site. Although, they are short and snappy when they do come.
On the plus side, you will receive a quick paid poll every 2-3 days that will pay you 2p. You get this for answering just one question and can earn instant cash for a few seconds of work. How good is that?
Panel Opinion exists within a partnership with another organisation called Made in Surveys. Comparatively, they have 10+ years of experience in market research and surveys.
This company strictly follows regulations. For this reason, you don’t need to worry about the safety or privacy of your personal information.
You will earn rewards if you refer your friends to this panel. The prize is an entry into the weekly competition for a £10 coupon. By the same token, you will have the chance to win a monthly prize of £250 in a separate competition with this company.
This is a UK site open to over 18’s although you may be able to sign up in some other European countries too.
Pay – 40p for a 5 minute survey (approx. £4 per hour)
Rewards – PayPal, vouchers or bank transfer
Minimum Payout – £10
Frequency of Work – a few surveys per month

2. Mind Mover
This is one that I found out about not that long ago. Accordingly, the surveys are simple and quick although the invites can be scarce.
You will earn points each time you complete a paid survey. You can earn anything from 50 to 1000 points (50p–£10) per survey. In this case, 1 point is equal to 1p. The points you earn should show up on your account in under 28 working days.
One problem that I have come across with MindMover is when surveys get reset back to the start. This has happened to me on a few occasions. It’s annoying as hell, as I’m sure you might agree.
This will sometimes happen if you pause to take a break for too long. It’s for the best that you complete these surveys quickly and all in one go like I do to combat this.
MindMover has mini polls that you can complete as well as paid surveys. You’ll get you chance to win some goodies with their regular prize draws.
If you are redeeming the PayPal or Amazon options then it should reach you in under 30 working days.
If you have chosen to receive a check then it should take no more than 56 working days. You can request a check under special circumstances. On the other hand, you will need to have a balance of over 3000 points in order to do this.
This panel works with supermarkets such as Sainsbury’s and other big, everyday brands. This company welcomes people who live in the UK but nowhere else in the world presently. MindMover states they will never sell your personal data to third parties so set your mind at ease.
This panel will conventionally send you paid survey invitations by email like so many other panels. Although, with your consent, you can receive your invites from them by phone.
MindMover has a forum section on their site for discussion. Correspondingly, this is great for talking about most subjects and also getting to know other members of the panel.
Pay – 50p for a 5 minute survey (approx. £4 per hour)
Rewards – PayPal, Amazon and vouchers/gift cards
Minimum Payout – £20
Frequency of Work – a few surveys per month

3. Qmee
The biggest advantage to this site is the fact that there isn’t a minimum payout that you need to reach. There is no waiting around for you or me. As a matter of fact, you could withdraw with as little as 1p if you really wanted to. I can’t think of any other site that allows this.
You will need to do an initial qualifying survey before you are able to opt-in to doing paid surveys. On a positive note, this first profiling survey is easy. It really just exists to measure which surveys you will be able to do in the future.
The maximum length of the paid surveys is around 15 minutes so they are quite simple. They don’t normally email survey invitations to you. They will either show up on the Qmee extension/app on your toolbar or directly on the website.
There is a way that you can receive survey notifications far more easily. You will need to download the Qmee toolbar application like I have. The plugin will show you exactly how many paid surveys are available. This will be in the form of a tiny number on the toolbar of your browser.
This might be more convenient for you than getting emails. It will always be in plain view as a reminder while you are doing anything else online.
Qmee gives out short, quick surveys that usually pay out £1 or under for a few minutes of your time. Your paid survey earnings go into the same balance as the money you can earn from internet searches. Combining these two streams of income will result in bigger cash withdrawals overall.
Paid surveys are just a very small part of this website. In light of this, I discuss other features in more detail in my Qmee post.
Pay – 50p for a 10 minute survey (approx. £2-3 per hour)
Rewards – PayPal, vouchers/gift cards
Minimum Payout – none
Frequency of Work – almost daily except for most weekends

4. Crowdology
Crowdology will ask you about a wide variety of topics for sure. Generally speaking, these paid surveys can be about everyday subjects to the weird and wacky. They also run telephone interviews and focus groups which offer even bigger rewards.
Survey rewards can range from 40p to £10. Your voucher should get to you in under 28 working days. The maximum PayPal amount you can withdraw each time is £7.92. Your PayPal request can take up to 48 hours to show up so be patient.
Your survey opinions will potentially appear in magazine and newspaper articles about big brands. This will happen from time to time.
Crowdology runs a prize draw with the chance to win an apple watch. There are also many other great prizes including cash/gift cards. I’ve never won before but someone has to so there’s always a chance.
You will gain an entry in to the competition when you complete a paid survey or sign up to the panel. You can expect there to be about 3 competitions each month.
If you successfully refer someone to this panel then you will automatically enter into a prize draw. You will have the chance to win a £10 amazon voucher.
Crowdology works together with other companies like VIGA and Redshift Research. Coupled with the fact that this panel has separate USA and UK sites which both welcome over 18’s. You can put your trust in Crowdology as they heavily comply with regulations set by:
Pay – 40p for a 5 minute survey (approx. £3-4 per hour)
Rewards – PayPal and Amazon
Minimum Payout – £4 (PayPal), £10 (Amazon)
Frequency of Work – almost daily except for most weekends

5. Quest Mindshare
Quest Mindshare is part of the ‘Quest Global Research Group‘ based in Canada. The survey lengths of this panel average out at around 10 minutes. They won’t take up too much of your time.
They sometimes offer special paid surveys where they ask you to review music. In effect, these ones come with big rewards that pay out up to $90. You will quite literally be paid for enjoying some new music.
Quest Mindshare like to boast that these particular surveys have the highest pay outs in the industry. This is an impressive feat, wouldn’t you agree?
PayPal charge a 2% handling fee if you choose to use them. This means that you will end up with a little bit less money than you initially expect. Regardless, it won’t make a huge difference though which I can back up personally.
Pay – 40p for a 5 minute survey (approx. £3-4 per hour)
Rewards – PayPal and Amazon
Minimum Payout – £8
Frequency of Work – almost daily except for most weekends
Sign up here
6. MOBROG
MOBROG is one of the few panels to offer a mobile app for taking surveys. In addition, this is available via ‘google play‘ and ‘the app store‘. You will be able to keep the money rolling in while you’re on the go.
The pay ranges from $0.50–$3 for each paid survey. There is also a referral program where you can earn 64p per successfully signed up referred friend.
This panel normally have a long list of survey invites on their website. There are limits to this because MOBROG operates worldwide. Some of these paid surveys are specific to a particular country so you may not qualify.
MOBROG is actually a product of another company in Germany by the name of Splendid Research GmbH. Ah, those lovely Germans. They produce great cars, beer and now we can add surveys to that list as well. Your privacy is safe with MOBROG as they are following industry regulations like many other panels.
This panel conducts surveys globally. Similarly, there is a good chance you can sign up wherever you are in the world. Surveys could be about anything from travel preferences to influencing scientific research.
Pay – 40p for a 5 minute survey (approx. £3-4 per hour)
Rewards – PayPal only
Minimum Payout – £4
Frequency of Work – a few surveys per month

7. Opini
Opini surveys operates in the UK, US and some of Asia. A fair amount of the world’s population will be able to register as long as they are 16 years or older. Not to mention, this panel works with well-known brands such as:
This company conducted their very own in-house survey. The results show that 87% of members rated their experience of Opini as good or excellent.
This is one of the reasons that made me want to join them in the first place. What more could you want? If that isn’t a ringing endorsement for this panel then I don’t know what is.
Each paid survey can potentially pay out up to £10. Survey lengths for Opini usually range from a couple of minutes to half an hour. The panel should credit you for your completed surveys within 20 working days.
Opini has a community area on their site where members can post questions and queries. Equally, they can also make friends and interact with each other.
Pay – 40p for a 5 minute survey (approx. £3-4 per hour)
Rewards – PayPal and Amazon
Minimum Payout – £4
Frequency of Work – a few surveys per month

8. Opinion World
This panel is open for 32 different countries to take part in paid surveys. Then again, any participants will need to be at least 18 years old.
If you are under 18 then the panel advises that you get a parent or guardian to register on your behalf. You should be fine as long as you work under their strict supervision.
Opinion World is part of another organization called Survey Sampling International LLC. They work with major household brands.
It really shows that they have over 30 years worth of knowledge and experience in market research. Your confidential information is safe and is solely used for research purposes.
You can give away your survey earnings to a good cause if you so please. The charities you can donate to include:
These worthy causes always need help, even the smallest contributions makes a big difference. Nevertheless, this is entirely up to you.
With each attempted survey you gain an entry into the competition that takes place every 3 months. The top prize is £5,000 but you can earn points too.
They also have a WebShop with lots of cool items and goods that you can purchase with your points. I’ve browsed though their inventory and they have a surprisingly wide range of items to choose from.
This survey panel has a mobile app called Quick Thoughts. This application allows smartphone and tablet users to participate in paid surveys. You can easily earn rewards if you find yourself at a loose end while outside the home.
They apply a points system so 1 point = 1p. Notably, the average survey length is usually around 15 minutes give or take. It’s possible to earn badges with incentives attached if you reach certain milestones. Any e-vouchers should take 2-3 working days to reach you.
Pay – 50p for a 10 minute survey (approx. £3 per hour)
Rewards – PayPal, Amazon, Charity, Love2Shop, Boots, iTunes, Argos and vouchers/gift cards
Minimum Payout – £10 (PayPal), £2.50 (Amazon)
Frequency of Work – almost daily except for most weekends

9. Survey Goo
This panel is unusual as I only seem to receive invites to surveys a smattering of occasions per year. Although, the paid surveys are less than 5 minutes long so they are quick and easy.
SurveyGoo is a UK panel that also operates in regions of Asia. As a matter of fact, they have paid survey panels in 12 different countries. They welcome anyone over the age of 16 too. Survey goo is part of Asia Opinions Ltd. They conduct surveys for businesses like TESCO and many more.
The panel will reward you with a bonus incentive of £1 just for signing up and filling in all of your profilers. There are also incentivizes for encouraging other people to register.
It’s possible to make 10p for each person referred. If they go on to complete surveys then you will earn 10p per completed survey, per friend. I think this is great because it really rewards loyalty to you and also to the person you have referred.
This is one of the few panels I know that gives out loyalty payments. They will pay you 10p for completing your first 5 paid surveys. These payments go up, the more surveys you complete. It benefits you to be consistent as you can see.
One of my bugbears when it comes to surveys has always been late screen outs. It’s not the end of the world if you get screened out with this panel. You will get paid 2p every time this particular scenario occurs. This means you haven’t wasted your time completing half a survey for nothing at the end.
If you successfully complete a paid survey then you will receive credit in under 20 working days. Amazon voucher redemption should reach you within 2 weeks or less. On top of this, Survey goo runs several prize draws which offer cash reward from £2–£10.
Survey types can include:
- webcam
- video diary
- phone interviews
- focus groups
It is possible to make between 8p and £2.80 per survey with this panel. The lengths of the paid surveys range from 1 to 25 minutes.
Pay – 30p for a 5 minute survey (approx. £3-4 per hour)
Rewards – PayPal, Amazon and vouchers/gift cards
Minimum Payout – £4 (PayPal), £10 (Amazon)
Frequency of Work – every few months

10. iPoll
This one used to be one of my favorites but it has somewhat dropped in quality over time. Moreover, one reason for this is because of the steep decrease in survey rewards. Nonetheless, you should give this a try anyway.
You can take paid surveys anywhere with iPoll. They have a mobile app available on phones and tablets for both iOS and android. App users are welcome to participate in exclusive tasks such as:
- taking photos
- diaries
- visiting stores
- free product testing/reviewing
There is all of this as well as the standard surveys that you will already be taking.
iPoll rewards you in US dollars. You have to take into account that there will be a difference in the total amount of money when you withdraw if you don’t live in the US. I say this now so that it doesn’t come as a shock later on!
This is the case for anyone living outside the US such as myself. Your home nation’s currency will have to factor in the exchange rate. Those damn FOREX markets amirite!?
There may also be a small bank conversion fee to pay if you receive a check. This has tripped me up on a couple of occasions. You may want to see if you can find out if they offer another payment method. This is so that you can dodge or at the very least minimize these extra costs.
This survey panel runs a prize draw every quarter (3 months) with £5,000 as the grand prize. There are multiple ways for you to take part in this competition.
You will gain several entries and your chances will increase when you:
- sign up
- update your profile when asked to
- whenever you complete or get screened out of a survey
- attend webinars
- apply by mail
- play selected online games
They will credit you with a $5 bonus just for registering. Unfortunately, you can only become a member if you live in the United States or the UK I believe. Surprisingly, there doesn’t seem to be an age restriction for this panel so I would assume that anybody can take part.
Pay – 50p for a 15 minute survey (approx. £2 per hour)
Rewards – PayPal, Amazon, iTunes, rewards catalogue and vouchers/gift cards
Minimum Payout – £25
Frequency of Work – daily

11. Opinion Outpost
This was the second paid survey company that I ever signed up to when I first started out taking surveys. Looking back, it feels like such a long time ago. Conversely, I still use it from time to time mainly because of the staggeringly low minimum payout.
You can take full advantage of the £5,000 competition that rolls around every 3 months. You will gain an entry for this prize draw with every survey that you complete. This is true even if you get screened out.
Opinion Outpost offers paid surveys in 7 different countries including:
- UK
- US
- Canada
- France
- Spain
- Germany
- Italy
This survey panel has been operating for the last 30 years or so and is open to over 18’s. If you are any younger, then they recommend that you ask a parent or guardian to sign up for you.
With this panel, it works out that 1 point = 5p. To enumerate, You will make $1 for each one of the first 5 people who you successfully refer to the panel.
Pay – 50p for a 15 minute survey (approx. £2 per hour)
Rewards – PayPal, Amazon, Spotify, iTunes, WebShop and vouchers/gift cards
Minimum Payout – £2.50 (PayPal and vouchers)
Frequency of Work – daily

Here are a few honorable mentions that didn’t quite make the cut. With this in mind, give these survey websites a try. You might like them:
Like I mentioned at the start, there is a fair chance that you may find better paid survey panels out there. However, I have had good experiences with the ones listed above. Likewise, they are also panels that myself and many others recommend.
We can learn that no survey panel is perfect. In contrast, one site will do things better or worse than another. They all have their pros and cons. You will have to register with several paid survey sites in order to cover all the bases for what you want.
I suggest your next step should be to sign up to all the panels above. At the same time, do your own homework to find any new survey panels that I might have missed.
Now that you know about several more survey panels, why not find out how you can make the most out of them? You can pick up a few handy do’s and don’ts with my 21 Paid Survey Mistakes That Obliterate Your Earnings & Productivity post.
