Top Online Survey Panels for 2015
Historical feature · Reference date label: January 8, 2015; updated January 1, 2021
This archive follows the five selections in SurveyPolice’s 2015 feature. The order and awards belong to that publication. Mevumo’s text is an independent summary and research commentary; it is not a reproduction of its reviews or a Mevumo award.
Read this as a historical list
Past eligibility, bonuses, payout methods and processing times can change. The dated notes below describe what the reference feature covered. Any present-day information is labeled separately and linked to a researched profile. No personal payment test or reader score is implied.
What an annual selection can tell you
A shortlist is a starting point for research. Compare the task you would perform, the country and age requirements, the reward you could use, and the process for resolving missing credit. Historical praise cannot establish any of those conditions for a current account.
For a fair comparison, keep the time spent screening as well as completing studies, any task costs, approved credit and actual rewards received in your own records. That separates an advertised offer from your result.
1. Pinecone Research
In the 2015 feature
Pinecone Research rose from fourth to first, with a redesign and wider recruitment discussed.
Questions for a reader today
Check whether recruitment is open for your residence and demographic. An old invitation link, fixed incentive or product-test example does not establish an available assignment.
The historical note does not confirm present availability. The Mevumo profile for Pinecone Research is currently unavailable.
2. Quest Mindshare (now Panel Champ)
In the 2015 feature
Quest Mindshare appeared second with music research and PayPal rewards; the source now labels the service Panel Champ.
Questions for a reader today
Look for the current service name and regional terms. A legacy Quest Mindshare account or music-study example should not be assumed to transfer automatically to a different program.
The historical note does not confirm present availability. The original Quest Mindshare (now Panel Champ) profile path is retained for further research.
3. MyView
In the 2015 feature
MyView placed third, with points for some screening attempts and a gift-card catalog. A later note records its 2017 merger into OneOpinion.
Questions for a reader today
Treat the merger note as historical context. Ask the relevant operator about any legacy account or balance rather than assuming that an old MyView registration path still works.
The historical note does not confirm present availability. The original MyView profile path is retained for further research.
4. Epoll Surveys
In the 2015 feature
Epoll Surveys placed fourth, with shorter entertainment-related questionnaires and several reward types.
Questions for a reader today
Check the expected media-viewing commitment and any device requirements. Compare available cash or gift-card denominations with the points actually awarded for a completed study.
The historical note does not confirm present availability. The Mevumo profile for Epoll Surveys is currently unavailable.
5. OpinionSite
In the 2015 feature
OpinionSite completed the five selections; its historical section discussed check-based redemption.
Questions for a reader today
Check whether the current service recruits the participant group you belong to. Read today’s payment method and requirements rather than the check-based model in this old feature.
The historical note does not confirm present availability. The original OpinionSite profile path is retained for further research.
Honorable mentions
Darwin’s Data
Darwin’s Data received an honorable mention for legal-dispute research; the source also emphasized infrequent invitations.
Read the research invitation and required review material before accepting. Infrequent recruitment means that an attractive historical incentive cannot be treated as regular work.
Compare the annual selections
This comparison uses the names in the two reference shortlists. It describes a list change, rather than claiming why a company’s performance changed.
New to the five compared with 2014: Quest Mindshare (now Panel Champ), MyView, Epoll Surveys, OpinionSite.
Outside the five compared with 2014: Crowdology, Opinion Place, Opinion Outpost, Tellwut.
Read the 2014 feature to compare each entry and its historical context.
Names alone do not establish continuity. Rebrands, mergers, closed programs and revised reward rules require a fresh check with the relevant operator before acting.
Keep researching
Use the platform directory for researched profiles, Pick-a-Perk to compare reward features, or Online Surveys 101 for participation guidance. These tools cover a limited researched set and do not guarantee eligibility.
