Testable is the online platform that allows you to easily build and run behavioural experiments and surveys online. Testable Minds is our own, academic participant pool that is seamlessly integrated with our experiment building platform. Testable and Testable minds can be used completely independently. You can build experiments in Testable and collect data elsewhere and bring any other online experiment to recruit participants from our pool.

Yes! As long as you have an academic email address, you can sign up for a Basic account. With it, you can create as many projects as you like and you get 10 credits for data collection but will not have access to our premium features, such as collaboration or the trial previewer. The Basic account does not expire, as long as you can access your academic email.

Credits are needed to record results data using experiments or surveys built using the Testable platform. Each time a participant (other than you) completes one of your live experiments and submits their response data to you, one credit is consumed. So if you want to collect 50 responses, you will need 50 credits.

Yes, data collection will work, even if you do not have sufficient credits in your account. That means that participants will not be prevented from submitting their data during the task and you won’t loose any data, even if you run out of credits. However, your results will be locked and unavailable for download, until you add the necessary number of credits.

No, they do not. Credits cover the costs of using the Testable software. If you want to recruit participants using Testable Minds, you will need to additionally purchase participant budget. This money will go directly to participants to pay for their time participating in your study. Whenever you purchase budget, you also need to pay a fee to us that depends on the Testable account that you have and ranges from 10% – 30%)

When you recruit participants on Testable Minds you can choose how much you want to pay participants to complete your study, as long as it is in line with our hourly minimum of $6.50 (and $9 for Verified Minds, who go through advanced identity checks). On top of the fees for your participants, we charge a fee of 10%-30% (depending on your account type) of the total budget to cover our platform costs. You can find a fees calculator for participant recruitment here.

It depends on whether you build your experiment using our software (Testable) and/or recruit participants from our pool (Testable Minds). Typically, you have three types of costs for a study: 1) a software fee for building the experiment; 2) a commission for recruiting participants; 3) participants fees. You pay us for the software when you use Testable. You pay us a commission when you recruit from Testable Minds. Participants fees are always paid straight to participants (through the recruitment platform). (Click here for details)
