Why become a Scout?
Make a real impact
Companies strive to create products that fulfill actual needs, relying on your honest feedback to guide their decisions. Researchers are looking to hear from folks across all locations, careers, and backgrounds. They will gather your ideas and communicate them to their teams.
Explore new developments
Depending on the study, you might test apps, explore retail environments, or evaluate prototypes. You'll get to peek behind the curtain to see how products are developed, making sure your opinions are considered before they hit the market.
Earn flexibly
dscout is a remote research platform, allowing you to make money whether you're at home or on the move. Earn on your terms, with projects paying various amounts depending on their specific requirements and time allocated.
How does dscout work?
Apply for projects
Explore a range of research projects called, "missions," and apply to those where your skills and experience are a strong match.
Share your thoughts
Once you're selected for the mission, the researcher will provide you with a series of questions to respond to or tasks to accomplish. Depending on the mission's requirements, these may be completed on your own or may require a scheduled meeting with the researcher.
Get paid
Once you’ve completed all of your assigned tasks, you will receive payment from the researcher via your PayPal account and be able to track your earnings directly in the app.
Influence everyday brands
Once you've completed your mission, the researcher will share your thoughts with their wider team. Your feedback could shape their prototypes, product development, or upcoming projects, and help them provide quality offerings that truly resonate with people like you.
