About Survey Farm

Survey Farm publishes measured payout data on paid survey and market-research panels. Most writing in this niche is a ranked list built around referral links, which means the ordering tells you which panel pays the publisher best, not which one pays you best. We do not run panel referral links, so the numbers here have nothing riding on which panel you pick.

Figures come from two places: what panels publish themselves in their own policies and help centres, and hands-on testing. Where a rate is a headline claim rather than something observed, it is described that way. Survey rates move without notice, so pieces are dated and revisited when they go stale.

It is written by Xavier Fok, based in Singapore. That is why geography gets more attention here than it does on US-centric survey blogs: a large share of panel inventory is priced for US, UK, Canadian and Australian samples, and reading advice written for those markets is a good way to misjudge what your hourly should look like from anywhere else.
