Who answers your survey
Responses come first from the SurveyHood panel: US adults aged 18 and over who registered with us directly, confirmed their email address and country, agreed to participant terms and completed a profile. They are matched to your survey by that profile and receive a reward for every approved response.
If you allow it, licensed partner panels fill any shortfall for hard-to-reach audiences. Partner responses are always labelled with their source in your results and exports, and they are never substituted from another country.
Targeting options
Leave targeting blank for a general-population sample of US adults, or narrow it with any combination of:
- Age bands and gender
- State or region
- Profile attributes such as employment status, household composition, shopping role and category purchasing
- Screener questions at the start of your survey for anything more specific
- Quotas, for example a balanced split by age or region
What it costs
You pay a price per approved complete. It depends on four things, and the quote shows the exact figure and the total before you commit:
| Factor | Effect on price |
|---|---|
| Survey length | The base price covers up to five minutes; each extra minute adds a fixed amount. |
| Audience specificity | General population is cheapest; broad, targeted and niche audiences cost progressively more because fewer people qualify. |
| Targeting dimensions | Some attributes (for example region or industry) add a small surcharge. |
| Speed | Rush delivery costs more and roughly halves the fielding time. |
You pay only for responses that pass review
Every complete is checked automatically for speeding, straight-lining, gibberish open answers and a mismatch between the connection country and the profile country, and a reviewer approves or rejects each one before it is billed. Each participant can answer an order only once, and duplicate accounts are flagged at sign-up. Rejected responses are never billed, screen-outs are never billed, and any budget you do not use is refunded to your card when the order closes.
Participants whose response is rejected can dispute the decision within 14 days, which keeps the review honest on both sides.
Results arrive in the same dashboard
Purchased responses appear alongside any responses from your own list, labelled by source and country. Filter, run cross-tabs with significance tests, read open-text themes and export to CSV, Excel or PowerPoint.
Feasibility and timing
The quote includes an estimated delivery time based on the audience, the number of completes and current capacity. If an audience cannot be filled from the panel, the quote says so before you pay and offers a custom quote instead. Very narrow audiences (low incidence) take longer and cost more; a screener question with a soft launch is the best way to check your assumptions.

How teams use it
Illustrative examples of how the templates are typically used, not customer case studies.
A direct-to-consumer skincare brand
- Goal
- Size interest in a fragrance-free line among US women 25–44.
- Set-up
- The concept test template, 400 completes targeted by age and gender, with a screener for skincare purchase in the last six months.
- What they learned
- Interest was strongest among people who already bought fragrance-free products, which shaped both the launch audience and the ad targeting.
A regional credit union
- Goal
- Benchmark awareness against two larger banks in three states.
- Set-up
- The brand awareness template, 300 completes split evenly across the three states by quota.
- What they learned
- Unaided awareness was highest in the home state and low elsewhere, so expansion marketing focused on awareness before product messages.
A graduate researcher
- Goal
- Collect a general-population sample for a methods course project.
- Set-up
- A ten-minute questionnaire, 200 completes, general population, standard delivery.
- What they learned
- Responses arrived with source and country labels and duration data, ready to export to a statistics package.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to buy survey responses?
You pay per approved complete. The price depends on survey length, how specific the audience is, any targeting surcharges and whether you need rush delivery. Use the estimator on this page for an exact quote; there are no subscription or setup fees for buying responses.
What is the minimum order?
The minimum number of completes is shown in the estimator for each country; for the United States it is set by the current rate card and is typically 50 completes.
Do I pay for screen-outs or bad responses?
No. Screen-outs, over-quota responses and responses rejected in quality review are never billed, and unused budget is refunded when the order completes.
Are the respondents real people?
Yes. SurveyHood panel members registered directly, verified their email and country, and completed a profile. Every complete is checked for speeding, straight-lining, gibberish answers and country mismatches, and reviewed before it is approved.
Can I use my own survey tool?
Orders run on surveys built in SurveyHood, which is free to use. If your questionnaire lives elsewhere, paste the questions and they are converted into an editable survey in one step.
Can I buy responses outside the United States?
The United States is the launch country for self-serve orders. Other countries are available by custom quote; responses are always from the country you ordered, never substituted.
How quickly will I get responses?
General-population studies typically fill within a few days; targeted or niche audiences take longer. The quote shows an estimated delivery time, and rush delivery is available.
