How It Works

All companies love hearing what consumers think about their products and services. To do this they hire survey companies to ask people like you for your thoughts and opinions.

To thank you for providing these valuable opinions, companies are happy to reward you with cash, gift vouchers and other rewards. You won’t get rich from doing online surveys, but if you like to earn extra cash for giving your opinions, you’ve come to the right place!

SurveyCompare continuously searches for the fairest, most trusted and most rewarding paid survey companies, and lets you easily join them all in one go. There's no catch, and it’s totally free!

Joining is quick and easy! Simply click “Sign Up FREE Today” above, then select any or all of the available survey companies from the list. Fill in the form on the final page and click register to complete your free sign up.

You’ll receive emails from the survey companies asking you to confirm your registration – simply follow the links to confirm, and you’re now ready to start earning!

You will now be receiving regular survey invites by email. Take part in as many surveys as you wish, and earn rewards for each one you complete.

The number of survey requests you receive depends on the amount of demand survey companies have for people like you (age and gender in particular) at any particular time, so it's difficult to be specific. Typically you can expect to receive an average of 5 survey invites per month from each survey company you register with.

Of course, by joining multiple panels you have the opportunity to take more surveys and pick and choose the ones that reward you best.

No. You will never be charged by SurveyCompare or any of the survey companies we introduce to you. The market research companies want to thank-you for answering surveys with rewards, not charge you for becoming a member!

Yes, all the surveys you will be asked to complete will be conducted online.

How much you earn will depend on how many companies you choose to sign up to and how much time you want to spend taking surveys. If you want to maximise your earnings, we advise that you sign up to as many survey panels as you can.

Paid surveys in South Africa can earn you up R65 per survey, sometimes more for specialist or lengthy surveys. Other Survey Companies will also reward you with gift vouchers, points redeemable for cash and entries into competitions. You can view detailed information about each survey company on our Survey Comparison page (after you click ‘Get Started Now’).

We always tell people that doing paid surveys will make you “pocket money”, not a full-time salary. We would strongly advise you to stay clear of any websites that claim you can get rich by taking paid surveys.

If it's a cash paying survey payment is typically made through PayPal as it's easy, free and safe to set up. Gift certificates and vouchers are normally sent to your registered email address.

No, this is not a scam. We are a real company based in North London and are committed to providing a valuable service that connects people interested in taking surveys with the best survey companies. Neither us nor the survey companies we feature will ever ask you for money. You are in control at all times, and are never under any obligation.

SurveyCompare is supported by the market research companies that it recommends and also by donations. Together these enable us to provide an excellent, free, no-obligation service completely free of any charges.

Yes, your details are completely safe. They will never be given to 3rd parties without your prior consent and will only be held by us and the survey companies you choose to sign up with. You are free to unsubscribe from survey invites at any time. All of the survey companies we work with are large, highly reputable market research organisations.

No, you won't be tied into any contracts. You are under no obligation with any of the Survey Companies that we introduce you to and you can stop participating at any time. To unsubscribe simply click the link at the bottom of the email invites you receive.

If you are 16 or older you will be able to join any of the paid survey panels on offer. Some of the companies have a minimum age as low as 13 or 14 – you can find out which ones on the registration page before you sign up.
