Pollfish

Software and fieldwork in one purchase

Pollfish is a research-buyer platform: teams design questionnaires and purchase access to respondents. Its audience sourcing includes Prodege communities and other apps and websites. This page concerns that research workflow, rather than participation in surveys for rewards. SurveyWorth reviewed official product documentation and has not purchased or evaluated a respondent sample. Pollfish background and methodology FAQ

Our assessment is that the combined approach is relevant to consumer concept testing, brand work and other studies that need respondents beyond an existing mailing list. For a specialized audience, establish feasibility before drafting a long questionnaire. A large advertised audience does not by itself establish coverage of your particular target group.

Building the questionnaire

The official feature catalog includes choice questions, ratings, rankings, matrices and open text, alongside conjoint, MaxDiff and price-sensitivity methods. Skip logic, branching, piping, quotas and randomization help control who sees which questions. Media and mobile or desktop previews support checking the respondent experience before launch. Survey tools

A useful evaluation is to build a short representative study, test every eligibility path and review the final targeting estimate. Pay particular attention to the relationship between screening criteria and quotas: an overly narrow specification can change both cost and feasibility. These are suggested research checks, not observed performance results.

What the advertised prices mean

A free account allows survey preparation; collecting paid audience responses is a separate purchase. The cost calculator incorporates design and targeting choices, so the base response price should not be presented as a guaranteed quote. Pricing

Pollfish's FAQ states a minimum of 100 responses and a maximum of 100 survey questions. It also notes that results may change during quality checks. Wait for the final dataset before treating interim counts as the completed study. Study limits and fieldwork FAQ

Analysis, exports and team review

The results dashboard documents monitoring of completed responses, quotas and incidence, with filters for respondent attributes and screening answers. Insights Builder adds crosstabs, pivot tables, t-tests and z-tests. Official export options include SPSS, Excel, CSV and PDF, and stakeholders can receive a read-only dashboard link. Analysis and reporting

These tools can help a team explore the dataset, but statistical output still needs interpretation. Check subgroup sizes, question wording and the sampling approach before reporting a difference as meaningful. For a recurring study, preserve a consistent questionnaire and analysis specification so changes are interpretable.

Procurement checks and overall fit

Pollfish's public materials describe free account preparation separately from paid collection. Confirm what happens if fieldwork is paused, the target cannot be filled or responses are disputed before funding the project. The current researcher-terms page did not expose readable contract text in our review, so we do not promise a particular cancellation or refund entitlement. Request the applicable terms from the provider. Pricing and purchase routes; researcher terms

Pollfish belongs on a shortlist when audience access and research analysis are central to the task. A team needing only an internal form should compare that narrower need separately. Buyers requiring a specific integration, account role or hosting region should obtain written confirmation rather than infer it from the platform's general capabilities.
