Pay

Study minimum and suggested baseline

Advertised rate

Connect states a $7.50/hour study minimum and encourages a $10/hour baseline for faster recruitment. The displayed hourly figure uses the researcher's estimated completion time.

The sources use $ without a currency code. This is study compensation, not paid waiting time or a salary. Eligible variable-length screenouts receive partial pay; failed attention checks can be unpaid.

Location and access

Access to projects

Country and demographic targeting affect studies

Official information

Connect's targeting guide lists participants located in the US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Ireland and the UK. Researchers can restrict studies by country, demographics or past participation.

These are the guide's named study-location markets. Account approval and an individual's matching studies remain separate; the list is not worldwide eligibility.

Working abroad

Domestic travel reports have exceptions

Worker report

In an older US travel discussion, commenters reported taking studies while visiting other states. One reported a rejection from a state-targeted study; another shared a follow-up support message allowing their domestic trip.

Historical anonymous accounts; dates and quoted support emails are unverified. Confirm current travel or relocation rules directly.

Study availability differs between participants

Undated

In one Reddit discussion, the author and several commenters described lower recent earnings and fewer worthwhile studies. Others reported a strong month and continued payouts.

One self-selected discussion with unverified identities and exact dates. The reports do not establish typical earnings or explain differences by country.

Research on survey response quality

Data collected June 2022–November 2023

Stagnaro and colleagues placed both Connect samples among the strongest groups for response validity in a nine-sample comparison.

Author manuscript; data collected June 2022–November 2023. Connect samples contained 1,046 and 1,028 participants. Samples were donated or discounted; authors report no compensation. This evaluates survey responses, not worker pay or current AI-task availability.
