Its proprietary panel offers demographic, professional, and behavioral targeting across 23 criteria, helping researchers find highly specific audience segments quickly. The platform boasts an industry-low participant fraud rate of less than 1%, a 98% researcher satisfaction rating, and an average time to first qualified participant of just 15 minutes. Researchers only pay for completed sessions, and the platform includes scheduling automation, incentive payouts, document signing, NDA facilitation, and integrations with tools like Zoom, SurveyMonkey, Lookback, Qualtrics, Google Calendar, and 20+ more.
