Client Testimonials
Our users love Connect and just how easy it is to get their projects up and running smoothly!
" The Connect platform has been a game changer for me! My research collaborations span multiple universities and the Teams feature allows us all to stay informed about our data collection. I am able to fund my account with my research funds but allow collaborators to administer funds for our projects. This saves us all quite a bit of work in terms of cross-university reimbursements. I highly recommend it! "

" As far as my dissertation, the pre-tests surrounding my legitimacy manipulation worked wonderfully. I’m investigating the impact of perceptions of illegitimacy on individuals’ reactions to being put into positions of low power. I was really impressed with Connect’s UI and participant bounce-back tracking, which was an issue with my previous attempt over the summer on MTurk. "

" I’ve been collecting data for nearly a decade and I'll never go back to any other online panel. My team and I love Connect's user-friendly interface, ability to target specific samples, and perhaps most importantly, the consistency through which it has given us the highest quality data. The participant’s have given us invaluable feedback, which led to improved study designs and higher retention rates in our longitudinal studies. Using Connect is a no brainer and receives my highest possible recommendation. "
