How it works

  1. Participants criteria 
    You choose the criteria for participants to meet for your survey: demographics and/or expertise in a particular field. There is also an option to add your own survey-specific criteria with text or a link from an external service (such as Google Forms, SurveyMonkey, etc.).
  2. Survey description 
    We need the description to invite participants to your survey.
    In this step, you define the type of survey and reward for participants and get an approximate price for your request.
  3. Contact details
    Leave your contact details: name, phone, email.
  4. Receive an offer
    After sending the request, an administrator from Participants.bg will contact you for confirmation and information on when to expect an offer with final price. Before sending potential participants, we further verify that they are suitable and meet 100% of your survey criteria.

After sending a request for participants, we will send you a quote by email within 3 working days. If additional information is needed, we will contact you.

All people who register on the Participants.bg platform for paid participation in surveys fill out questionnaires with demographic and psychographic characteristics, as well as questionnaires about experience and attitudes regarding the use of products and services.

When a request for participants is received, platform administrators contact people and further verify that they are the right participants and meet 100% of the criteria for your study.

The contacts you receive from Participants.bg are checked and verified before they are sent to you. All participants are informed that they will be contacted to participate in the study.

You have a 100% guarantee that the contacts you receive have been vetted and negotiated for inclusion in your survey. If, however, a participant refuses to participate, he will be replaced by a new one.

Participants receive the promised reward after confirming that they have participated in the study.

Participants.bg is responsible for accounting for the prize.

1. We refund the money for the participants that you did not use.

2. Or when you start the survey again, you use the list of contacts, again verified by us.

In the event that the search is permanently suspended, we refund all requested users if they are not used. Or we return the difference to the number of users used.
