Reward research participants in 100+ countries within 30 seconds. Recipients pick their own brand, you pick how to pay — fiat or crypto. Connects with UserInterviews, Prolific, Qualtrics and Typeform via REST API and webhooks. Per-study budgets, exportable for finance.
Built for research ops, UX research, market research and panel managers who pay participants across geographies and need finance to actually sign off on it.
Trigger payouts the moment a participant submits a study. 100+ countries, 40+ currencies, sub-30-second delivery. No more chasing Amazon codes or PayPal failures.
A choice of 5,000+ local brands plus crypto and prepaid Visa beats a single Amazon code every time. ACEB saw a 3× lift in survey response rate after switching.
Tag every payout to a study, GL code, and cost center. Fiat or crypto, one audit trail. Export the lot to NetSuite, QuickBooks or Xero at month end.
From a 12-person diary study to a 50,000-respondent global panel — one platform, one finance export.
Trigger participant payouts the second a UserInterviews, Prolific or Respondent.io session ends — no chasing finance for codes the next day.
Send an instant thank-you after every NPS, CSAT or post-purchase survey. Lift response rates 2–3× without breaking your CRM workflow.
Pay participants on schedule across 4-, 8- or 12-week diary studies. Drop-off goes down, completion goes up, finance still gets one CSV.
Compensate beta users for every milestone they complete — install, day-7 retention, post-test survey — with one rule in your study tool.
Run cross-border studies without local procurement. Localized brand catalog and 40+ currencies mean a panelist in Manila gets a Manila-relevant reward.
Run unmoderated concept tests with hundreds of respondents in a week. Pay everyone instantly, segment by cohort, export per-study spend to finance.
Drop GIFQ into the tools your research team already runs in. No procurement, no IT ticket, no bulk Amazon order ever again.
Connect UserInterviews, Prolific, Qualtrics, Typeform or SurveyMonkey via our REST API and webhooks. Or wire any other tool through Zapier.
Define a study, lock in the budget cap, set the payout amount and currency. Tag a GL code and cost center so finance reconciles cleanly.
When a participant submits, GIFQ sends a reward in under 30 seconds. Recipient picks the brand. Crypto, prepaid Visa and 5,000+ local options.
Pull a CSV per study or push directly to NetSuite, QuickBooks or Xero. Every payout tagged, every recipient logged, every dollar accounted for.
Connect via REST API and webhooks to the tools research ops, UX research and panel managers use every day. Or wire it up through Zapier.
“We used to chase Amazon codes for every panel. With GIFQ, payouts go out the moment a respondent finishes — and they pick the brand. Response rates went up, and finance finally has a clean per-study export.”
PayPal mass-pay was built for freelancers. Amazon codes were never built for anything. Tremendous targets the same buyer but skips the differentiators that matter to research ops.
Encrypt participant emails at rest, redact PII on export, support data subject deletion requests within 30 days.
Encryption at rest and in transit. EU and US data residency on request. Penetration tested annually.
SAML and OIDC SSO via Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace. Granular RBAC for researchers, finance and admins.
Every payout, every approval, every refund — timestamped, exportable, kept for 7 years to satisfy IRB and finance retention.
Median delivery is under 30 seconds from the moment a participant submits a study to the moment a redeemable code lands in their inbox. Cross-border crypto payouts take a few minutes for chain confirmation. There is no batch overnight cycle — it is event-driven.
100+ countries, 40+ currencies, 5,000+ local brands. A panelist in Manila gets a Manila-relevant catalog by default. You can lock the catalog to specific countries per study, or open it to the global pool. Crypto and prepaid Visa are universal fallbacks for any country.
GIFQ is the payouts vendor, not your IRB — we don’t approve study protocols or recipient consent. What we do: keep a per-study audit log, support per-participant opt-out, expose only the data finance needs (no demographic linkage), and accept any consent flow your IRB requires before you trigger a payout. Most academic teams pair us with a Qualtrics or REDCap consent screen upstream.
Participant emails are encrypted at rest and stripped from any non-essential export. We support data subject deletion requests within 30 days and EU data residency on request. Per-study exports can be configured to redact PII for finance, leaving only payout amount, GL code and study ID.
Yes. Set a hard cap per study — GIFQ stops payouts the moment it’s reached and notifies the study owner. Every payout is tagged with study ID, GL code and cost center. Export per-study CSV at any time, or push directly to NetSuite, QuickBooks or Xero. Finance gets one structured invoice per month, not 200 PayPal line items.
Via our REST API and webhooks. GIFQ subscribes to UserInterviews session-completion webhooks and triggers the configured payout automatically. You can map session types to payout amounts (e.g. 30-min interview = $50, 60-min = $100), and reconcile back to the UserInterviews study ID for finance. Setup is typically a few hours of dev work using our prebuilt API recipe.
Via webhooks. GIFQ subscribes to Prolific submission webhooks, runs the configured payout, and writes the GIFQ payout ID back to the Prolific submission record. Useful when you want to pay panelists in something more interesting than the default Prolific currency — local brands, prepaid Visa, or crypto.
Yes — and arguably better for research-heavy use cases. Tremendous targets the same buyer, but ships single-supplier routing, no crypto rails, and a generic dashboard. GIFQ adds multi-supplier routing (no single point of markup), native crypto rails (USDT, USDC, BTC), API-driven UserInterviews and Prolific integration, and per-study budget controls finance actually accepts. We also stack against Tango Card, Runa and Giftbit — see the full comparison page above.
