Real humans. Verified at every stage.
Every participant signs up with us directly and gets paid by us, with identity, tech and quality checks in between. You spend your time on the decision, not on vetting who turned up.

Verification runs at three points.
When the person is real, the data captured is real, and so is the decision you make on it.

Exactly the people your study calls for
We recruit every participant ourselves, pay them, and take their questions. That ongoing relationship is what lets you hear a voice sample before you book someone, or go back to the same people six months later. For hard-to-reach audiences, our recruitment team sources them directly. That holds in all 50+ countries we recruit in.

" I can speak and talk about whatever I want openly, and I think that's very important in research. You can't be shy. I feel comfortable being outspoken to let everything be known."

Every insight has a person behind it
Every quote and every screen event traces back to the person who said or did it, with the clip to prove it. That chain follows the insight wherever it goes, including into Claude or ChatGPT.

You choose who's in your study
Real isn't the same as right, so verification is only half of it. Filter on what members have already told us, qualify or disqualify on any answer, and set quotas to control the mix. Listen to a voice sample or check a LinkedIn profile before you accept anyone.
FAQs
At three points. New participants verify their identity at sign-up with a selfie or a government ID, which is what enforces one account per person. A tech check runs before audio or video sessions to confirm the microphone, camera and permissions are working. Every session is then scored on engagement, authenticity and articulation, with borderline ones reviewed by a person, before its evidence counts for anything.
Real people. Askable recruits its own panel rather than buying supply from a broker, so every member signed up directly, and identity verification enforces one account per person. Session quality is scored every time and that history stays with the participant, so coasting through doesn't get you invited back.
We go and find them. It's called active recruitment: the team sources people directly through LinkedIn, paid channels and one-to-one outreach, brings them onto Askable, and they go through the same verification as everyone else. If a brief looks out of reach we'll say so upfront, and if it needs a few weeks we'll tell you that before you commit.
For a general audience, usually hours rather than days, because the panel is ours and matching participants are invited the moment they qualify. Harder audiences take longer, and you'll get a timeline before you commit rather than after. Of the people who book, 97.8% attend, which holds because identity and tech checks happen before the session rather than after it has already gone wrong.
We do, out of your plan rice, so there's no separate incentives invoice and nothing to reconcile against individuals. Rates are set by session length and how hard the audience is to reach, across standard, premium and custom tiers, and we'd rather pay above the going rate than fill a study with people optimizing for volume. If you want participants paid more than we've set, tell us and we'll match it.
Identity verification, demographics and screening responses, encrypted at rest and in transit. Your team sees what it needs to run and interpret a study, governed by your workplace permissions. Where evidence travels into a connected AI tool, recordings and full sessions stay in Askable behind a login. Full detail is in the Trust Center.
