One Dollar Survey asks exactly one thing: “Would you pay a dollar to take this survey?”
Say No and submit for free. Say Yes and you go to Stripe to pay $1 USD once. A completed payment submits your Yes response. The running results are public, including to people who never vote.
That is the whole experience. No follow-up survey, subscription, prize, charitable donation, or bonus product. It is a tiny, deliberately absurd experiment in what people do with a very small question.
The person behind the question.
One Dollar Survey was created by Brett Hyder. It began as a silly idea: a survey about whether someone would pay to take that very survey.
The results are not science.
Visitors choose themselves, Yes costs money, and the simple browser cooldown can be bypassed. These are responses from willing visitors, not a representative sample or a measure of what people in general believe.
A few practical details.
- No is free. Yes costs $1 USD, once, through Stripe.
- No survey account is required. Stripe handles payment information.
- One submission or checkout reservation per browser per hour.
- Yes counts only after payment confirmation. Totals refresh about every 30 seconds.
- Refund help is available through the support and refund policy.

One Dollar Survey asks whether you would pay a dollar to take a survey. No is free. Yes costs an actual dollar. That is the entire survey.
