How to withdraw incentives?

When a research study is launched on the platform, participants are invited to a study based on their relevant business expertise and industry experience.

When a participant successfully delivers on a study, they recieve the incentive in their wallet and from there a participant can decide how they would like to withdraw their incentive in the form of either gift cards, bank transfer, Stripe, PayPal, Visa Cards or donate to charity.

Visit your Dashboard to access your Wallet and withdraw funds the way you want.

When to expect incentives and payouts?


When a research study is launched on the platform, participants are invited to a study based on their relevant business expertise and industry experience. Most of studies fall under three types of research methods, that can affect the incentive amount and distribution timelines.

  • Online surveys

  • Moderated interviews

  • Product tests

Most incentives for moderated interviews and product tests are issued within 48 to 72 hours of completion and in some scenarios 7-10 days.

However when it comes to online surveys, these studies could take longer for researchers to distribute particpant incentives and payouts over days and weeks for these reasons.

  1. Online survey studies are generally large scale studies i.e. they require 100's if not 1000's of responses.

  2. The time taken to process this amount of data practically takes days and weeks.

    1. This could include validating each response.

    2. Validating the quality of responses.

    3. Validating fraudulent behavior and the use of AI.

We are always working with customers to ensure our participant community to get paid as fast as possible, however in large scale studies it can take longer than usual.

You can always reach out to CleverX team lead on mir@cleverx.com with your questions.


Why are sometimes incentives withheld?


Researchers at times can withhold incentives and payouts from a participant for these reasons. As a participant, it is important to be aware of these reasons.

  1. Larger studies sometimes might takes days or weeks to process all responses and could affect holding off on incentives and payouts

  2. Time required to validate the truthfullness of responses

  3. Validating the use of AI responses especially on open-ended questions

  4. Validating fraudulent behavior

  5. Incomplete responses or partial failure of required tasks
