Consumer Opinion Institute vs MySoapBox

Backed by global market research company TNS, Consumer Opinion Institute has an extensive background in customer service and responds to any inquiries very quickly.

MySoapBox is a top-notch operation that treats their users with respect and courtesy. They have a well-established track record of excellent customer relations fast response times.

This could almost be considered a positive, but it can be extremely difficult to join Consumer Opinion Institute. Their clients demand very specific information from particular demographics, so you kind of have to be lucky if you happen to fall into one of the groups being accepted.

It should also be noted that no one is getting rich from this program as you'll generally receive only about three surveys per month. However, you will receive this consistently, so you can depend on the supplemental income.

Some users aren’t the biggest fan of the relatively high $25 initial cash out rate. Coupled with the fact you may experience a high rate of disqualifications depending upon your demographic, reaching the cashout threshold can be a bit trying. In their defense, aMySoapBox will let you know if you don't qualify before taking a survey so you don't waste your time.
