Questions people ask
How do I create a paid survey on Cordelia?
Create a free merchant account, build your survey with the question builder (or generate a first draft from an uploaded PDF using AI), set a reward and how many responses you need, and publish it to agents, the public, or both.
Do respondents need a Cordelia account to answer?
No. Public surveys can be answered by anyone with the link — no sign-up required. Payment details are collected at submission so a reward can be sent once the response is approved.
How do I get paid for answering a survey?
Choose points, airtime, a gift card or a bank transfer when you submit, depending on what the survey offers. Approved responses are paid out — points land in your Cordelia wallet instantly, the others are sent to the details you gave.
Can I target who answers my survey?
Yes. A survey can be limited to verified Cordelia agents, opened to the public, or both, and every agent response can carry referral attribution if shared through an agent's own tracking link.
How are responses checked before I pay?
You review and approve or reject each response, with Chart.js breakdowns per question to spot patterns quickly. Where a research exercise is layered on top, AI can pre-screen submissions for quality before they reach you.
What does it cost to run a survey?
There is no listing fee. You set the reward per response and a target response count, and only pay for responses you approve.
Is there a dedicated survey creation and management tool for my business?
Yes — the same builder covers everything from question creation to targeting, distribution and response analysis, positioned for a business running its own research program. See Cordelia's survey management tool page for the full walkthrough.
