Respondent
Recruiting for hard-to-reach B2B and professional participants.
What it is
Respondent specialises in sourcing verified professionals — engineers, clinicians, finance managers, IT buyers — for interviews and studies, with identity and employment verification to reduce fraudulent participation. It handles screening, scheduling and incentives.
Best for
Where it is strong
- Reaches professional segments that general panels simply do not contain.
- Verification meaningfully reduces participants misrepresenting their role.
- No subscription commitment.
Where it falls short
- Expensive per participant once incentives are included.
- Recruitment only, no research tooling.
- Some fraudulent participation persists despite verification.
Pricing
From $40 per B2C session at pay-as-you-go, plus the incentive you set
PaidFree tier: No subscription required; pay per completed session.
What drives the bill: Session fees are $40 B2C and $80 B2B at pay-as-you-go, falling about 30% on a large annual commitment, with a further discount for unmoderated studies. You are only charged for completed sessions — no-shows and screen-outs are free. Incentives are separate and you fund them: $100-$400 per professional B2B participant is normal, on top of the session fee.
