Product Report Card vs YouGov

Unlike some survey panels, Product Report Card makes support easily accessible. Should you encounter any problems, it's very easy to open a support ticket from your account dashboard. Expect a quick and courteous response to you inquiry.

They even respond to inquiries on Trustpilot which is a consumer watchdog site. You can see their forum here. If that fails, you can reach them at (303) 345-4261.

We've experienced nothing but good things with YouGov's customer service. Inquiries are answered quickly and politely. If you have missing points or your redemption is slow, you'll always hear back from them in a few hours.

While there's a lot to like about this program, one drawback is the low amount of survey invites. While you may be lucky enough to qualify for high-paying focus groups or product reviews, on a day-to-day basis you will not get a lot of earning opportunities. This is partially due the fact that they have very discerning clients that seek detailed information.

You may also find some people claiming to have not been paid or paid very slowly. This is generally just people that are impatient or don't understand the process and should be ignored.

Although there's no doubt about YouGov's reliability and their interesting surveys, survey invites are somewhat infrequent. Plus, they are fairly strict about their quota, and may not accept you based on your ZIP or other geographical factors.

In general, these aren't the biggest drawbacks, but there may be better options if you're looking for frequent invites.
