Google Survey Alternative
Starting from $0.95 per completed survey response
Google Surveys
Google is great for search, but when it comes to unbiased audience samples, that’s another story.
Google Consumer Surveys is a free survey tool that uses a paywall model to secure panelist participation. Why is this method flawed? Users are blocked from reaching their destination until they interact with a survey that they may have no interest in participating in. This means you’ll have “unintended survey takers,” rushing to get through the survey as quickly as possible to get to their destination— and poor data quality as a result.
Pollfish is different
Instead of forcing respondents to take surveys, or assuming they want to, we reach real consumers on their mobile devices give them the option to participate while they are engaged in the apps they know and love. Our respondents opt-in as survey takers and self-report their demographics (rather than infer from their web behavior). This results in better data quality from our surveys.

The difference in Targeting.
1. Global Network
Pollfish provides access to real consumers in 160 countries, 345 cities -who have already opted- in to take mobile surveys. Not even Google can match our network.
2. Radius Targeting
Sure, Google can see your house from space, but can they survey within 1 square mile of it? Use our radius targeting to select a specific target area by choosing a spot on the map and fielding your survey. Now you can target visitors at Disneyland or the concert crowd at Madison Square Garden.
3. No Demographic Survey Limits
We don’t infer who our respondents are from their web behavior (we ask and verify to create a profile.) Plus, we offer more demographic survey capabilities , than Google such as race, marital status, education level, and DMA to make sure you reach the right target audience.
