I found SurveyCircle very easy and intuitive to use. The website is well structured, simple to navigate, and the instructions are clear at every stage, which made the whole process feel straightforward rather than overwhelming. I was able to collect around 90% of my survey responses through the platform, which was incredibly helpful for my research. I would definitely recommend SurveyCircle to other students and researchers looking for an efficient and supportive way to recruit participants.

SurveyCircle ist wirklich top. Es ist eine super Möglichkeit viele Studienteilnehmer für seine Umfrage zu gewinnen. Mit ein bisschen Aufwand kommt man im Ranking schnell nach oben und wird dann durch viele Teilnahmen belohnt. Auch der Support der Seite war einwandfrei. Innerhalb kurzer Zeit habe ich bereits Feedback bekommen, sofern ich mal eine Nachfrage hatte.

Overall, I had a really good experience and found SurveyCircle very helpful. Some things to be aware of if you're thinking about using it: (1) there are things you can do that will have a significant impact on how many survey responses you get (e.g. some of the biggest ones are that you do need to take a lot of other people's surveys and get a lot of points before you start getting a lot of responses coming in, and also if your survey's too long, it's likely to get less responses); and (2) you will get some responses where people clearly answered very hastily and didn't fill it out properly (e.g. straight-lining scales in your survey), so you should probably have clear-cut criteria ready to use to exclude certain survey responses for when people have clearly just sped through it without answering it properly, which would screw up the validity of your study if you have enough of those responses in there. So what I would say is that if you're aware of some of the limitations and challenges of SurveyCircle and willing to navigate those, it is worth using for many types of survey and can be a very useful tool. Just go in with your eyes wide open and try to use a strategy to get the most out of it. Also, please, please, please, when you're answering other people's surveys to get points so your survey can get more responses, take the time to do it properly. DON'T just rush through it and not answer properly. Answer it how you'd want people to answer yours. I was saddened by how common it is for people to just rush through the survey in like 2 minutes and not even answer things properly (e.g. straight-lining and stuff like that). Don't be one of those people. If everyone did it like that, the platform would have no usefulness whatsoever. So just answer people's surveys properly.

SurveyCircle has been a massive help during my research. The point based system ensures fair participation and offers a large number of participants if you are willing to put in the work. Safety measures are also set in place to ensure quality responses. Highly recommended. The only reason for not giving 5 stars was that direct emails tend to take a while to get a response, however contact through the website itself is fast.
Great tool to get participants for your survey. Worked really well for me since my study was short (about 5 minutes) and I had a very broad target group. 10/10 would recommend

Budget-Friendly Lifesaver for Student Researchers. SurveyCircle is a fantastic tool for students and researchers looking to gather survey respondents without relying on a large personal network or expensive panels. While the website might seem a bit outdated and text-heavy at first glance, it’s easy to use and serves its purpose well. You might notice that longer or denser questionnaires don’t always perform as well. Since many users are trying to earn points quickly, shorter and more engaging surveys tend to get better results. But that’s something you can work around with good design. Once you’ve earned enough points, the process becomes much more efficient and less time-consuming than trying to recruit through Facebook groups or other manual methods. Best of all, the team behind SurveyCircle is incredibly supportive, and responsive. If you're looking for a low-cost, student-friendly way to get high-quality responses, SurveyCircle is absolutely worth it.

So grateful for SurveyCircle! I could never have collected so many survey responses without SurveyCircle. Nearly all responses were thoughtful and thorough, with less than 10 (out of 200) deemed invalid due to careless responding. And SurveyCircle readily reimbursed me for those duds! Additionally, customer service was professional, friendly, and fast.
A really useful and convenient site for students and researchers. Friendly and professional customer service. Highly recommended!

Very good opportunity to spread your survey and for generating up to 100 participants for free. I used the upgrade option to receive another 100 participants for my survey. There ocurred some technical issues first, but the Team fixed it quickly and sent me a personal apology mail! I can highly recommend you the services of surveycircle!

I used SurveyCircle to recruit participants for my academic study, and the experience has been excellent. The platform is user-friendly, and the support from Jonas (the founder) was both professional and sincere. After upgrading my slot, my survey was promoted quickly on their social media, which helped increase visibility and participant numbers. I truly appreciate how SurveyCircle supports researchers by offering a fair and structured way to connect with other scholars. As a university professor, I find this kind of academic exchange platform especially valuable—it's community-driven, transparent, and built with real researchers in mind. I highly recommend it to anyone conducting survey-based research. — Dr. Feng-Chao Yang Department of Accounting and Information Management Da-Yeh University, Taiwan
