Askable is a website that claims you can earn up to $100 per hour when participating in paid research opportunities. This claim is interesting and promising, so I decided to check them out.
In this Askable review, I will give you an honest look at what the site has to offer so you will know exactly what to expect from it before you even join.
Then you can properly evaluate if it is truly worth it or not. So let’s go ahead and check out Askable, shall we?
What is Askable, and what does it offer?
Askable is a market research site that offers paid research opportunities. It is indeed a legit site since you can earn from the opportunities it offers.
Now, the question is, is it worth it?
The best way to find out is to understand how it works so you can get a clear idea of how much time and effort is needed to earn from it. To do that, we first need to take a closer look at the earning opportunity it offers.

The earning opportunity – Paid research
The only way to earn from Askable is to participate in paid research opportunities.
Once you become a member of the site, you will be eligible to participate in paid research activities. To check if there are any available, you just have to log in to the member dashboard.
Aside from that, you can also go to their Facebook page (refer to the photo above) to see if there are opportunities to earn. Askable will also send you an SMS message if there are opportunities available for you.
As for the type of research activity you have to do, they are usually in the form of online surveys, focus groups, user testing, or in-person activities. For the latter, you will have to go to one of their offices to participate.
Based on my experience, in-person research activities aren’t very common, so don’t expect to receive this kind of invite often (if ever). The most common research activities you can expect to participate in are online surveys and online focus groups.
If you receive an invite for this kind of research activity, that means you are already qualified to participate in it, so you don’t have to go through a qualifying process. But if you just apply for paid research activities offered by their Facebook page, then you will have to go through a qualifying process first.
After you complete a paid research opportunity, you will receive the compensation. Later, I will discuss how you will get paid.
When I was testing the site, I didn’t encounter a lot of paid research opportunities, so don’t expect to regularly earn from this opportunity.

How do you get paid?
Every time you complete a paid research opportunity, you will earn a certain amount. The good thing is that you will get paid immediately after completing the task.
The payment method will depend on the country you live in, but the most common option is PayPal. For some countries, you will have the option to receive gift cards instead.
You don’t need to earn a specific amount to receive your earnings. As mentioned, you will be paid every time you complete a research activity.
Overall, I would say the payment system of Askable is relatively straightforward, and I like the fact that it offers a convenient payment system like PayPal. If you are interested in more sites that offer a convenient payment method, I recommend you also check out the top sites that pay via PayPal.
How much money can you make?
The amount you can earn from Askable will depend on how many paid research opportunities you can participate in. But as I’ve mentioned earlier, there aren’t a lot of opportunities offered, so it’s hard to expect to earn from this site regularly.
But as for how well it pays, typically, online research opportunities will pay you around $30 to 50, while in-person opportunities pay more at around $60 to $120. But as I’ve mentioned earlier, in-person research opportunities are very rare, so don’t expect to get invited for those types of opportunities often.
Overall, even though the site does pay a decent amount per paid research opportunity, I would still say the earning potential of the site isn’t that good because of the lack of opportunities to earn. That being said, it can still serve as a decent secondary site to earn from, in my opinion.
Can you use it on mobile?
Askable has a mobile app you can download to participate in research activities on your phone. The app is available for download on both Android and iOS app stores.
It is relatively easy to use, and it will allow you to participate in online surveys and focus groups. So, you don't need to sit in front of a computer to earn from it.
The overall user experience it provides is generally pleasant, which is all you want from an app like this, in my opinion.
Who can join Askable?
The site doesn’t tell you which countries it is available in, but from what I can tell, it is available in many different countries, so you can more or less register as a member anywhere in the world. However, your location will affect the availability of paid research opportunities.
From what I’ve observed while I was testing the site, most opportunities are for people who live in the UK, US, Australia, and New Zealand. So, if you live somewhere else, you will most likely not find a lot of opportunities to earn.
To register, you can use your Google or Apple account, or you can just create your own login details. You will also be asked to provide your mobile number, so if you are not comfortable giving out your phone number, then this site is not for you.
After you are done signing up, you will be able to log in to the member dashboard and see if there are opportunities to earn available.
Can you get support?
If you have any questions about the site or your account, you can check out the FAQ section on the website, but it only provides a few basic information, so you will most likely not find the answers you are looking for.
Instead, you can just log in to the member dashboard and click the Help link to submit your inquiry. When submitting your inquiry, you have to choose the appropriate topic (refer to the photo above). Then, you have to fill out the form and hit submit.
Overall, I would say the site provides decent support to its members since it offers a convenient way for you to ask for assistance. However, I do wish they would provide more useful information on their FAQ page to reduce the instances of having to contact support.
Final Verdict
Askable is a legit site that will let you earn extra cash by participating in paid research activities. It has a couple of decent features, but it also has a few limitations you need to keep in mind.
Let me wrap up this review by summarizing its pros and cons to give you an overview of what it has to offer. Then you can decide if it is really worth it or not.
Pros:
- Pays a decent amount per paid research opportunity
- Offers payment via PayPal
- No payout threshold
Cons:
- Limited earning opportunities
- FAQ page doesn’t provide a lot of useful information
Askable is not a bad site, in my opinion. Its earning opportunities pay a decent amount, and it uses a convenient payment method. The only problem is that it doesn’t offer a lot of opportunities to earn, especially if you don’t live in the US, UK, Australia, or New Zealand, so you won’t be able to quickly earn a decent amount from it.
It can serve as a decent secondary site to earn from, but you have to set your expectations properly. You will not be able to earn extra cash from it regularly. As long as you are okay with that, you can sign up as a member.
But if you are looking for primary ways to earn extra cash, I suggest you check out the top survey and GPT sites in your country instead. The sites on this list all have good earning potential, so you will be able to earn a decent amount in no time.
Plus, you will definitely find a site you can join regardless of where you live.
