Prolific: what it pays, honestly
Prolific publishes no public job feed, so no rate can be independently verified as of 2026-08-23. Everything below is what the platform itself claims.

What it advertises vs what we can verify
- Prolific advertises
- Enforced minimum £6/$8 per hour; £9/$12 recommended
- Its live listings verify
- Not enough published rates to verify a figure (5-rate minimum).
Geography & eligibility
Most OECD countries; ID verification
The honest read
Legitimate and well-run, but new-participant intake is waitlisted and studies currently oversubscribed (their own July 2026 notice).
