Scoops

@realevanbrown great questions! 1. surveymonkey, pollfish, zoho surveys, there's a lot! 2. we built an email list for panelists and made a Ship product hunt page 😄 3. A lot.. at the moment, hard to say for certain, just taking in everyone's feedback while we think of what to focus on next! If you have any suggestions let us know 😉

@nico_private actually it has nothing to do with the data :( It was actually just faster to build since Netlify has auth. Really sorry! We've got it on our backlog to build though, thanks for letting us know.

@nico_private Hey there Nicholas! Just wanted to let you know we're now accepting email/password signups :)

@yash great feedback, and you're totally right there are huge services that have survey panels out there! (SurveyMonkey Audience, for example). Re: #1, if you're curious, there's nothing to hide on our end. We use various ads on different platforms to try and get a diverse range of folks (we even tell our researchers to join the panel!). Feel free to read our FAQ if you're curious on how we disqualify answers, etc. Re: #3, that's precisely where we're different. Unlike other survey panels, you CAN talk to people! You can ask a question, then followup with only females, or only people who answered A, and then you can even interview the people who answered back. No other survey panel does that, and we think it's incredibly valuable. Our mission is to make it affordable for product teams of all sizes to do qualitative research on a quantitative scale. Appreciate all the help along the way!

@irhymeth Totally right. Yes I think Scoops is absolutely for those people, but to also structure the research in an organized way. You could certainly run surveys on those sites, but it would take time, you may not get enough responses, you won't get demographic data, and if you try to follow up with additional questions & interviews you're likely to hit a low response rate. That's from our own experience of trying to validate our ideas anyhow. Great question though!

@chris_lee5 Right, gotcha. Thanks for your response! How can one sign up to be a respondent? And do they get paid?

@irhymeth You can sign up here! https://club.scoops.io/ We do donate $.05-$.1 per question on their behalf or let them accrue towards Amazon gift cards. But we're trying to move away from money and more towards making the experience fun & rewarding for respondents to avoid response bias. (we're completely transparent about this, you can calculate our margin if you'd like!) - we also regularly scramble answers and see if panelists answer the same way to ensure data fidelity.

@chris_lee5 Thanks for the response and appreciate the transparency! Will definitely spread the word! Good luck to you and the team!

@elizabethhunker What do you mean by tokenization?
