3 Sample size & live cost

🔢 Choose respondent sample size

The more people you poll, the lower the cost per polled person.

Population cut-off numbers: 500 = $12.00 per polled person · 1,000 = $9.00 per polled person · 10,000 = $7.00 per polled person · 100,000 = $4.99 per polled person. Anything over a cut-off is charged at that same rate — and if you bought a package at a discount, that discounted rate stays in effect for the extra respondents.

You can also buy as many credits as you want and use them for smaller campaigns. Those credits never expire.
