Ipsos i-Say alternatives: what to run alongside it, or instead
By Pamela · Editor, SurveyQueen
Last verified · Based on official provider information
Most people looking for a Ipsos i-Say alternative do not actually want a replacement — they want more work available. Panels run out of surveys for a given profile long before the day does, which is why running three to five at once earns more than picking one. On our checked figures the closest comparison to Ipsos i-Say is Survey Junkie.
Ipsos i-Say is rated 4.0 out of 5 in our review. The alternatives below are ranked on the same checked figures — published pay, cash-out floor and reported payout speed — so the comparison is like for like.
Our standing advice is to run several panels at once rather than search for one perfect panel, and to drop any panel that stops sending you qualifying work. That advice cuts both ways: if a panel below pays us well but keeps screening you out, it does not belong in your stack.
