Paid study payouts explained
How fixed incentives, hourly rates, raffles, gift cards and points differ.
Fixed incentives
A fixed incentive is a stated amount for completing required activities, subject to the provider’s terms. Confirm currency, payment method and attendance requirements.
Hourly or variable payments
Some providers advertise a rate or range. Check what time is counted, whether there is a completion threshold and how partial participation is handled.
Raffles, gift cards and points
A raffle is not a guaranteed payment. Gift cards and points may carry provider-specific restrictions, so read the original terms before applying.
