Prolific Reviews in April 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

disgusting.

I have used this platform since 2017. I recently started up again as I'm low on money. I have a degree in psychology and understand the significance of accurate data, hence me completing every study in a timely, concentrated and respectful manner. I had a couple of weeks of several studies per week then nothing for 2 months. I emailed after the 2 months because it's what they recommend ,to be told I've been banned, that it's a final decision that's irreversible, and that I cannot find out ...

Very good site

Very good site! I have been using it now for some days and I have had many invitations for research, for which I am never screened out. The surveys are about nice topics. By answering the surveys, you help researchers like universities and scientists with their research. Next to that, they paid me out fast (within 1 day I received my rewards on PayPal) and the researchers who have to approve or reject my survey submissions, give a very fast review about my submissions. I hope I can enjoy ...

Don't Use This Unless You Want to Get Banned!

So... I used Prolific for a year. No new accounts, no VPN... I assume my IP was okay. It was working fine. I had 1 rejection out of maybe 600-700 (a lot of studies were returned. And I got banned. I don't know why, since they won't tell you. So yeah. For the people who says some people are mad because they were banned for "cheating" it's not really the case 100% of the time. Sometimes you're just banned for life.

Don't bother - Will ban without any discussion or warning

This site is good. But this site clearly has too many users and cannot cope with the pressure of such a wide comunity. They will ban you without notice. No messages, no flags, no discussions, no ratings just hey thanks you're banned. I made £50+ in a few months and then out of no where I am banned. I had two "research papers" in a row that were incredibly low pay and asked 25 pages of 30+ questions so I quit them. I had no papers for weeks so I contacted them. No one contacted me. I had ...

Well at first i was hesitant

Well at first i was hesitant, but here i am now. Amazing!

Engaging and trustworthy, at a cost...

I'd like to use this opportunity to add some balance and perspective to the somewhat negative and unfair reviews posted on this site: - Yes, Prolific will pay! I've successfully and rather quickly cashed out about 150€ from 46 studies through PayPal. - No, you won't just get banned for no reason. You can actually tell by some of these "reviews" that they either had raised some red flags with their behavior or don't understand the platform at all. Add to that those who are just lashing out ...

Really really good site!

Found out about this site a few days ago and was a bit sceptical after using other review sites that paid pennies. Welll wasn’t I wrong! I’ve earned about £35 in 3 days, just had my first cash out with no problems at all. If you pay attention to what you’re doing, and answer honestly, I really don’t see why there would be any issues. Registration process is really simple, ID verification took seconds which I wasn’t expecting. Really recommend using this site & earning yourself some extra money

I’ve only been on prolific for 5 days…

I’ve only been on prolific for 5 days now but I’m really enjoying it. It’s far superior to other survey websites that I gave up a long time ago. On those websites I was sick of getting 20 minutes into a survey before they’d finally screen me out and I would receive nothing for my time. On prolific when you receive an invite to a study you know that you already meet the required demographics etc and you will get to complete the study and be paid for your time. This would only not be the case ...
