PermissionResearch vs Survey Junkie

The best part about Permission Research is that there's not much active participation required for you to have a chance to be rewarded. The only requirement is that you download their software and allow them to anonymously monitor your Internet usage. The software is completely safe, but if you have a lot of other programs running on your PC you may not want to endure the extra strain on your resources.

Additionally, you may receive survey invites via pop-ups (which you can turn off), which can be a bit annoying.

This program is worth a try, but certainly isn't for everyone. The upside is that you could get lucky and hit the big one with the sweepstakes offer. Plus, there is limited downside as the software is easily removed if you decide to no longer participate.

With over 3 million members, Survey Junkie is no doubt popular, but they've had a bumpy road to get there. Because the company does not conduct surveys on their own accord, they are often at the mercy of 3rd parties which had previously not been reliable in terms of payment. This was a major complaint by members that led to many in the paid survey community to label the operation a scam.

Today, this is not the case. Survey Junkie is 100% legit and has weeded out the bad apples in the bunch and streamlined their site to ensure easy access to paying surveys and reward redemption. The modern layout is ideal for all mobile devices as well as desktops.

Essentially, Survey Junkie uses your basic information to match you up with paid surveys from a myriad of market research firms. This program is certainly worth a try, but if you find yourself getting disqualified too often, you may want to look for greener pastures.
