How pay is worked out
You set your own minimum for each kind of answer and see the pay before you answer. No answer type pays below a floor based on the UK National Living Wage and the average time members take on that type, so a longer answer always pays more. We review the floor when the wage or the average time changes.
Askers pay the member’s pay plus our fee, and a 50p fee per question covers screening and the summary.
Who can do what
Tiers apply once the longer answer types open. During early access, Standing is visible but doesn’t change what you’re offered.
| Tier | Who | Unlocks |
|---|---|---|
| Member | Any verified adult in the UK | Quick takes |
| Proven | Members with a strong record of accurate, useful answers and no upheld flags | Short answers, considered feedback, in-depth, idea briefs |
| Qualified | Professionals whose credentials a person has checked with the issuing body or register | Expert views at their own rate |
Own words only
Answers must be your own. Using AI tools, chatbots or automation to write or submit answers is not allowed.

What answering is like, how it compares with paid surveys, and the honest caveats while early access is unpaid.
Questions about answer types and pay
Why does a quick take cost the asker more than the member earns?
The asker pays the member’s pay plus our fee, which covers checking that answers come from people and running the service. Each question also has a 50p fee for screening and the summary.
How do I become a Proven member?
By giving accurate, useful answers over time: Standing reflects known-answer checks, askers' ratings and whether your picks matched the asker's final choice. The exact thresholds will be published when the longer answer types open.
Can I set my own price?
Yes. When paid questions open, you set your own minimum for each kind of answer and see the pay before you answer; askers make offers at or above it. Experts set their own rate.
Are these prices final?
They're launch examples. Early access is free on both sides, and you'll always see the price or pay before you ask or answer.
What is an idea brief?
A later format where an asker posts a problem and a prize pool, members submit ideas blind to a deadline, and the best ideas share the pool.
Questions about pay, tiers or prices?
