Our take
Founded in 2014, Prolific is a marketplace and data analysis company that provides researchers with a network of test participants. From eye-tracking to human-facing AI applications, Prolific’s network acts as both a recruiter for test participants and as a marketplace for researchers scientists to hire said participants.

Prolific’s user base now counts over 2000 potential test subjects, whilst researchers leverage its network to launch surveys, tests and evaluation tasks every 2 minutes.
