StudySnag's answer
StudySnag started because I was a broke student who got paid $150 for a
90 minute focus group and could not believe it was real.
I went looking for more. What I found was a mess. Every research panel runs
its own site, its own signup and its own screener, and none of them talk to
each other. I ended up with accounts on nine different platforms, checking
all of them between classes, and still missing studies because they filled
before I refreshed.
So I built the thing I wanted: one feed with every open study in it. I
shared it with a few people in my program, they shared it with their
friends, and it kept going from there.
Today StudySnag surfaces 890+ paid studies a week to more than 14,000
members across the US. It is still free, it still takes an email address and
nothing else, and I still use it myself.
Shorter version if the field feels long:
I was a student who got paid $150 for a 90 minute focus group and went
looking for more. The problem was that every research panel runs its own
separate site, so finding studies meant maintaining nine accounts and
checking all of them daily.
I built StudySnag to put every open study in one feed. I shared it with
people in my program, it spread, and it now surfaces 890+ studies a week to
over 14,000 members. Free, no password, US only.
The founder angle is worth keeping. Directories and their readers respond to a real person more than to corporate voice, and "student built this for students" matches your audience exactly.
