Service & Snafus

Learn about customer service and potential issues with ySense and PermissionResearch before you sign up.

ySense

Having been around since February 2007, ySense (formerly Clixsense) has one of the top customer service teams. They resolve all payout issues quickly and are known for their speedy replies.

PermissionResearch
ySense

The only issue with ySense is a fair amount of survey disqualification. Thankfully there are a ton to take, but many users report repeated disqualifications.

PermissionResearch

This biggest negative with Permission Research is that your primary reward is sweepstakes and not direct rewards for your participation. While the company is certainly reputable and there are winners, a certain degree of luck is need to make this program worth your while.

If you're looking for a more conventional company that pays out directly in cash and gift cards, you may want to look elsewhere.

Final Verdict

See our closing thoughts to help you decide if ySense or PermissionResearch is better for you.

ySense

ySense won't pad your bank account like a $100 focus group, but they offer a number of ways to earn including the ability to make money just for browsing the web, watching videos, performing search task and of course surveys.

With strong customer service and cash payouts, there's no reason not to give ySense a try. It might not be for everyone, but the no minimum cashout threshold in addition to instant payments make this an attractive program for those who need money fast.

PermissionResearch

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.
