"An easy switch from Prolific with better value"

5/5

What do you like best about Positly?

What I like best about Positly is how quickly and easily I can launch a participant recruitment run. In my work, speed matters a lot, and Positly makes the setup process simple enough that I can go from having a survey ready to actively collecting responses without much friction. I also appreciate the cost-effectiveness. Compared with other platforms I’ve used, including Prolific, Positly has been a more affordable option while still delivering strong response quality. Another thing I value is that switching over was straightforward, so it did not take much effort to start using it in our research workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Positly?

One limitation is that Positly does not include a native survey builder. That means I need to create my survey in a separate tool, such as Google Forms or another survey platform, and then connect it to Positly for recruitment. This is not a dealbreaker, but it does add an extra step to the process and can be a bit inconvenient when I want to manage everything in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Positly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Positly solves the problem of finding research participants quickly, reliably, and at a reasonable cost. Before using it, recruiting respondents could be more time-consuming or expensive, especially when trying to maintain good data quality. Positly helps by making recruitment fast to set up and by providing access to respondents at a lower cost than some alternatives I’ve used. For my work, that means I can launch studies faster, stay within budget more easily, and still get responses that are useful for research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
