About Opinions by Sync

Opinions by Sync is a research recruiter that invites US consumers to paid online discussions for brands and research agencies. It announces new projects on its social media accounts, and each one starts with a short qualifying survey. Typical projects are 90-minute video focus groups, sometimes paired with a few days of diary entries before the live session. We have not been able to confirm details such as when the company was founded or where it is headquartered, so this page sticks to what its studies look like.

Opinions by Sync Locations

We are not aware of a physical focus group facility run by this recruiter. The studies it posts are generally held online, so you can join from home with a computer, a webcam and a reliable internet connection. Listings on our site have been open to participants nationwide, and studies are limited to US residents.

How to Join Opinions by Sync Studies

  • Find an open study. Browse the listings on this page or follow the company's social media posts for new projects.
  • Take the screener. Answer the qualifying survey honestly; it decides whether you match what the client needs.
  • Wait to be contacted. If you qualify, the recruiter reaches out with the date, time and joining details.
  • Join on time. Test your camera and connection before an online session.

Opinions by Sync Login

Opinions by Sync runs its participant community at community.opinionsbysync.com. If you've already joined, that's where you sign in with the email and password you registered with. Use the password reset option on the sign-in page if you've forgotten your details.

A few things to know:

  • The community is for U.S. participants. Visitors from other countries may see a message that the survey isn't available where they are.
  • Many studies don't need a login. Opinions by Sync often shares screener links for individual studies on its social media pages and through listings like the ones on this page. You can apply straight from the screener.
  • Only use official links. Opinions by Sync will never ask you to pay to take part in a study.

Opinions by Sync Reviews

Opinions by Sync is a newer and smaller name than recruiters like Sago or L&E Research, so there are fewer published reviews. What participants share online is mostly about the screening process: as with any focus group recruiter, many people complete a screener without being selected, because each study needs a specific mix of participants. People who do qualify describe typical online focus group sessions with incentives in the range we see on our own listings, roughly $100–$350 per study.

Our advice: apply to studies that genuinely fit you, answer screeners honestly, and keep your contact details up to date so you don't miss a confirmation.

Is Opinions by Sync Legit?

Opinions by Sync has been posting paid studies publicly for several years, and its listings follow the usual pattern of a screener first and a scheduled session later.

We only list companies that never charge participants, and a genuine study will never ask you to pay a fee.
