5/5
What do you like best about Prolific?

Great pool of participants--we've collected the same types of data on multiple platforms, and Prolific participants' data proved to be of the highest quality.

Nice and easy interface, great messaging system for (batch) contacting/emailing participants, great customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Prolific?

Would be more convenient if the built-in survey features can be enhanced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Probably the best platform for online participants, but..."
3.5/5
What do you like best about Prolific?

Everything is very easy to access, and the screeners are fairly robust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Prolific?

I recently had my account paused for running an incentive-compatible survey where I sent some participants e-gift cards. You can not run incentive compatible studies on Prolific, which makes it nearly useless for a lot of experimental research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent response time"
5/5
What do you like best about Prolific?

I loved the number of persons ready and available to take my surveys, as well as the wide variety of demographic information Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Prolific?

The one downside, which is not necessarily prolific's fault, is that the people completing the surveys don't always have the best...langauge? As a professional, I don't want to see cuss words on my surveys or in my email if there is an issue. However, this is just about being pickier with people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
