The Connect platform has been a game changer for me! The Teams feature saves quite a bit of work, I highly recommend it!
Jeff Galak
Associate Professor of Marketing

As far as my dissertation, the pre-tests surrounding my legitimacy manipulation worked wonderfully. 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.

Now that I’ve experienced CloudResearch’s Connect, I’m never using Mturk again!
P.S. This is NOT a paid advertisement, I swear. I just can’t believe everyone passed all of my attention checks for once…

I’ve used Connect quite a bit, and I’ve found it to be a very good platform! It’s easy to use and the data are quite good when looking at open-ended responses and attention checks. I’ve also collected data that targeted Republicans and Democrats, and that worked well too! Thank you all for your work on this platform!

My experience with Connect has been phenomenal. They provided highly tailored and practical features in identifying, recruiting, and rewarding a specific group of participants for my longitudinal research project on suicidal ideation, helping me collect high-quality data while ensuring participants’ privacy. I am confident that Connect is the best crowdsourcing platform for online research available on the market.

CloudResearch helped me recruit a specialized and overlooked population to research the health needs of older sexual minority women who self-identify as having disabilities. The data I obtained was high-quality, with only four responses missing. I’ve recommended CloudResearch to other scholars as a result, and I look forward to using them again!

I’ve used Connect since it first came around, and it has become my first stop for data collection. The interface is seamless, the pricing is fair, and the quality of participants is on par with–if not better than other online samples I use. The data get collected very quickly, and the team behind the website are very responsive and helpful. Five Stars all around!”
