Each year, millions of dollars are spent on hiring market research companies to conduct surveys (online, mail and phone), focus groups, discussion groups etc. on every product you can imagine. In order to get members of the general public to participate in these studies these market research companies offer some means of compensation. In other words, you are rewarded simply for providing your opinion.
At SurveyRover.com we provide you with the database of top market research (survey) companies – so you don't have to spend hours searching the net (or paying for access to a website that lists them). This is a community compiled directory - so if you happen accross something not on this list let us know using our contact form!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
- Is it really true that I can get cash and gifts just for taking surveys online?
Yes its true. Market research companies are looking for people who will give them feedback on a variety of products and services and they will compensate people for their time. Obviously some companies are better than others in terms of compensation and reputation.
- How can I be sure that the companies will really pay me? Do I have any guarantees?
Well there are no guarantees in life, but we have had no problems so far. It's not really in the market research companies best interest to screw their participants (as they will stop participating!). If you have a bad experience please let us know so we can take the company off our directory.
- Can I trust these survey companies with my personal information?
The companies we list usually have privacy policies that specifically state they will not give your email address to 3rd parties. But check it out for yourself.
- Will I be hit with tons of spam?
Generally No. The companies may send out an occasional email, however, promoting more services they offer. One strategy you might want to try is to create a separate email account (you can get a free account at gmail.com, hotmail.com, or yahoo.com) specifically for signing up for surveys. That way if you do end up getting spam it wont interfere with your main account.
- How am I paid/compensated?
This depends on which survey company you are using. Generally you will receive checks or gift certificates in the mail, some companies allow you to be compensated online through Paypal, others give you electronic gift certificates. Check the terms of each company you sign up with
- Does it matter where I live or how old I am?
In our directory we indicate where participants must be from (to our best ability). For the most part, if you are in the USA you will be able to sign up with the majority of survey companies. It DOES matter how old you are. Most paid survey companies require that you are 18 years of age and over – some have higher age requirements. Please look at the specific conditions when signing up with a company.
