Nielsen Mobile

Being in business for decades, Nielsen has their operations down pat. If you encounter a problem you can email or call. You should expect little to no delay in response to your query.

LifePoints

My Survey also boasts of an excellent customer support team that not only responds to your queries quickly but does so in a most courteous manner. They also periodically come up with innovations like focus groups and product testing in their market research surveys to infuse greater variety into the process.

Nielsen Mobile

Unfortunately, while installing Nielsen Mobile is easy money, they are only accepting certain groups, at least for the time being. If you're a tablet user, you simply have to be 18 or older. For smartphone users, the company is currently only accepting members 45 or older. These requirements may change as Nielsen's demographic needs shift.

LifePoints

There isn’t too much not to like about LifePoints but there has been some minor feedback from users about getting disqualified for surveys. This is because of the demographics the company is looking for at any given time. If you find yourself getting disqualified from multiple surveys you might want to move on to another panel.

If you fall into the demographic that is currently being accepted, there's no reason you shouldn't give Nielsen Mobile a try!
