We care a lot about looking after our participants at Prolific. We do this both out of respect for ethical research standards, and to make sure we appreciate people for their time and effort.
It’s also part of the cycle of research. If participants feel engaged, they will give thoughtful and honest study responses. Excellent responses mean researchers get the best data quality available.
Everyone has felt the squeeze after the recent rise in cost of living, too. We also haven’t changed the minimum reward since 2014, so it’s been long overdue. While Prolific doesn’t intend to be a main source of income for participants, we do want people to feel rewarded for contributing to world-changing research.
That’s why we’ve increased the minimum amount researchers can pay participants from £5/$6.50 to £6/$8 an hour.

Today Prolific is turning 5 years old – Happy Birthday to us! 🥳 It's been a remarkable journey so far. 3000+ researchers from science and industry have used Prolific last year, we have 45,000 quarterly active participants, and we've seen 200% year-on-year growth. But we're only getting started. In this post, I'll tell you a little bit about our journey, give credit where it's due!, and tell you about our exciting plans for the future.
Fresh out of YC's Summer 2019 batch, we want to share some of our most interesting learnings. If you're a startup founder or enthusiast and want to learn about product-market fit, growth experimentation and culture setting, you're in the right place!
