Spend your time doing research, not making payouts

Managing participant incentives the traditional way is time-consuming for you and your colleagues. And while 95% of participants want to be paid direct-to-bank, they’re the most complex and time-consuming to manage.

Avoid chasing participants for bank details, chasing finance colleagues to make payments, and the complexity of dealing with PII and GDPR regulations. Ayda handles it all on your behalf.

Researchers love Ayda

"We care hugely that participants have a good experience. I want them to have enjoyed it, to want to do another group – it means we get better participation. Swift and prompt payment for your time adds to that. With Ayda the whole process feels slick. I’ve just met you and now I’m authorizing your payment. Thank you very much. I think that’s hugely important."
