We have introduced dynamic rewards as part of our ongoing commitment to offering greater flexibility and fair compensation for your contributions

What does this mean for you?

Your earnings reflect the time you spent actively working on tasks.

If you didn't end up spending the full amount of the estimated time advertised upfront, then you will get paid proportionally for your contributions.

How it works

Task-based time tracking:

• Rewards are based on the time spent actively working on tasks.
• Please note: The research platform records this task time. Please do not rely on the Prolific time to calculate the expected payment.

Why do only some studies have dynamic rewards?

We’re closely collaborating with a small group of trusted research partners only to create a more flexible and rewarding experience.

Does this mean I can be underpaid for the studies I take?

No. Reward rates for dynamic rewards are subject to the same fair payment guidelines as all other rewards on Prolific.

We hope this update makes your experience more flexible and fair. If you have any questions, our support team is happy to assist you.
