Where your insights help build better products and experiences.
Idea Lodge is a friendly online qualitative research community where you get paid to share honest feedback on real products, apps, and services. You join a private group of people who care about how things work in everyday life and want companies to actually listen.
This community exists so real people - not algorithms or synthetic audiences - can shape what companies create next, in a way that respects your time, privacy, and wellbeing. Your feedback helps brands understand not just what people think, but why they think and behave the way they do, so they can make better decisions.
How it works:
Sign up in minutes.
You'll create a quick profile so we can invite you to studies that fit your experiences and interests.
Take part from any device.
Join discussions, answer questions, or complete short activities on your phone, tablet, or computer, whenever it works for you.
Share honest feedback.
Tell us what you like, what doesn’t work, and what you wish existed. We want the real story, not just “polite” answers.
Get rewarded for your time.
For each study or activity, you’ll see what’s involved and what the reward is before you say yes. Rewards vary by project and can include e-gift cards or other incentives.
Activities are designed to be clear, focused, and well-paced, so you can share thoughtful feedback without feeling overwhelmed.
Built for real people:
Idea Lodge is designed to be safe, respectful, and manageable for everyday life.
You’re in control.
You choose which studies to join, and you’ll always see what’s involved before you commit.
Your privacy matters.
Your personal details are kept secure, and sensitive thoughts can be shared privately when needed.
Your time is valued.
We avoid long, exhausting tasks. We’d rather have shorter, better-quality input than wear people out.
Idea Lodge is run by experienced qualitative researchers who follow strict privacy and ethics guidelines; your information is never sold. The goal is simple: make it easy and rewarding for you to be heard—while helping brands and organizations design better products, services, and experiences.
