How User Interviews Works

Participate in a Variety of Research

User Interviews offers paid studies where you can help influence the products and services of tomorrow. Complete web-based surveys before a deadline, share feedback on product ideas, prototypes, or simply talk about your life experiences. Paid online 1-on-1 interviews involve meeting virtually with a researcher via webcam. The only requirements for a participation then, are a computer with a webcam and a strong internet connection.

User Interviews offers four primary types of research:

  • Online tests and surveys. Length: 10 mins - several hours. Pay: $20-$300+
  • Online interviews. Length: 30 mins - 2 hours. Pay: $20-$300+
  • Online diary studies. Length: 3 days - several weeks. Pay: $55-$400+
  • Online focus groups. Length: 1 hour - 3 hours. Pay: $40-$200+

Generous Rewards

Although the research studies posted on UserInterviews are more difficult to qualify for than a standard online survey site, the researchers there consider your time valuable, and as such, offer fair, enticing incentive options in exchange for your feedback. As a result, the average study pays over $50.

Filter for What You Want

Find open studies listed on the 'Studies Page', which automatically accounts for your location. Use the filter to filter by study format (in-person, over the phone, or online), study type (1-on-1 interview, focus group, multi day study, etc.), and date. If you're not interested in a study, simply click the eye-shaped icon to hide it.

Member's Tip! Applying to multiple studies increases your chances of being accepted and helps User Interviews get better at sending you relevant studies. Try applying to 5-10 studies in your 1st month as a member.

Payment and Rewards

Gift Cards, Cash, and More

Payments for participation on User Interviews is generous and is issued in the form of a digital gift card, or in the form of a special incentive chosen by the researcher (cash, gift cards, merchandise, etc.). Over 65,000 participants were paid last year.

How User Interviews Pays

If next to a study it says, "via choice of dozens of digital gift cards", that means User Interviews itself will distribute your incentive. Once the researcher has marked attendance for the study, the status will change to "Paid", and you'll see the option to redeem your incentive for this study.

These studies offer payment via Amazon gift card or via a Reward link gift card which is redeemable for dozens of options including to stores including Target, Whole Foods, Starbucks, Uber, Southwest Airlines, StubHub, DoorDash, Airbnb and more.

Rewards Issued by Researchers

If the study's incentive type is listed as something else, that means that the researcher will distribute the incentive themselves. This may be in the form of cash, PayPal, direct deposit, store gift card, Visa gift card, a check, a product, access to a free subscription, etc. This incentive type will always be shown on the study details page before you apply so you can determine if the incentive is right for you.

Once the researcher has marked attendance for the study, the status will change to "Interview completed" and you can expect payment within 10 business days of the completed session.

Incentives can be redeemed in USD, CAD, AUD, GBP, or EUR.

For Real

January 3, 2024 by Dennis from United States

A professional survey site. The surveys are professional and pay well. You have to decide which surveys you apply for, but if you qualify they are interesting and rewarding.

Excellent, Responsive, Pays Well

This is one of my favorites. Have done several of the interviews and have been paid right on time. Have had a couple of questions and the management is quick and very responsive.

Great site!
