The average minimum wage in the countries we feature is $1.04 per hour. Our pre-set survey prices are about 1.5 times higher. Even after our (small) platform commissions, Tolokers can still make money that matters to them.
The survey price is based on the approximate survey timing: short, medium, or long. We factor in the minimum wage in the available countries. This is one way we prevent exploitation of disadvantaged communities.
As much as we in academia are used to our submissions being rejected, that's not what our Tolokers signed up for! Once the completion code is submitted, the respondent gets paid. You can still control the quality of your data by introducing smart flow in your Qualtrics survey with embedded attention checks.
Toloka is supported 24/7. Contact us via chat right in the interface, submit a support request, or just email us.
Countries are sorted by the average number of active performers. Some countries on this list have federal minimum wage regulations.
Toloka academic surveys feature pre-set prices that meet or exceed those requirements.
