If you are a member of any online survey site you must have come across online surveys from CINT, and if you are a panelist of many online survey sites then you must have also realised that many online surveys come from CINT. You must have therefore asked yourself why this company, yet your membership is of a specific survey site. And what is CINT anyway?
In this article we are going to discuss in detail about CINT plus their role in online surveys worldwide.
What is CINT?
This is an international technology company that provides research software solutions to various research firms,companies and organizations that want to carry out various researches worldwide.
In order to carry out market research or any other research, CINT has partnered with various research panels, commonly know as survey panels in order to amass a rich pool of respondents with varied demographics.
CINT prides itself of having the world's largest consumer register, with over 50 million registered members world wide, 130,000 new members daily.
With over 1500 communities in over 80 countries, CINT is a leader in online research and anyone who wants to carry out a research for any purpose including human rights will not think twice before looking for their services.
CINT was founded in 1998 in Stockholm, Sweden, and has been in operations since then. Currently it has offices in the US, Europe and Asia-pacific, but its regions of influence includes Africa. In the US alone, CINT has six offices in Atlanta, San Francisco, New York, Princeton and Los Angeles.
How it works.
Although we said that thousands of members are added in CINT databases, CINT rarely gets its members directly.
Many online surveys have partnered with this company in a symbiotic kind or relationship.
When you sign up for an online survey site for example Triaba, you become a member of that site. Since Triaba has partnered with CINT, your demographic details will also be added to CINT.
Whenever CINT gives the survey site surveys for it's members, you as a member will also get a survey link invite from the survey site, not CINT. If your profile matches the survey, you will be redirected to CINT to complete the survey, and if accepted, your payment will come from cint and not the survey site.
The survey site however, will get a share of the total proceeds. This means that in this case the survey site acts as a middle man, but at the end of the day everybody will be happy. You will have gotten your reward, the survey site will also have their share, and your opinion will have been collected for the researcher .
In order to have such a huge data or members worlide, this research firm accepts collaborations from various independent online survey sites as well have having a platform where individuals can register for survey panels directly from the CINT portal known as CINT communities.
When a company wants to carry out a research it will approach CINT, and they will direct the surveys to relevant panels based on the demographic requirements of the survey.
Online survey sites that have partnered with CINT.
There is quite a number of online survey sites that have partnered with this research firm andwe might not list all of them here.

The following is a list of the few survey sites that have partnered with CINT. I have reviewed a number of them, and still working hard to also give you full reviews of the ones I haven't.
- E-Research global
- Triaba
- Mobrog
- Viewpoint
- Afrisight and many more.
Opinion app.
Opinion app is an app that allows you take online surveys directly from your phone. This however, is not just another online survey app, but does something different; grouping all CINT survey panels.
If you have registered for more than one survey site that is affiliated to CINT, the app saves you time and makes it easier for you to keep up to date on all the panels, since you don't have to always log in to each one of them independently.
I have downloaded the app, and despite long loading time it seems good with no ads at all.
Opinion app panels.
There are a number of survey panels under the opinion app, the most common being:
- Triaba.
- eRG/Elite
- Viewpoint
- Crowdology
- Afrisight
- Cinchbucks
- Future talkers
- Poll buzzer
- Panelchamp
How is CINT changing the opinion world:
- With such a huge membership and demographic data, CINT makes it easier for research companies to carry out online research, especially those which target a specific demographic group.
- Provides survey panels with paid online surveys making them relevant and active.
- Many people get rewarded on a daily basis for completing online surveys thanks to CINT. If you are a serious online survey panelists am sure more than half of your money come from this company.
What we might not like about CINT.
In order to carry an honest review about this survey giant, we signed up for a number of its panels with various profile percentage completion.
Based on our own close encounter with CINT and the many opinions available online some on Trust pilot, these are some of issues it's members seem to go true:
- It is quite difficult to qualify for a survey. Online surveys usually are available on first come first serve basis. This means that you should open the invitation link as soon as you get it. Considering the number of members CINT has, the proberbility that you will qualify for a given survey is quite low, almost zero. since signing up for various of its panels months ago, I have not qualified for a single survey.
- There have been various complaints that most if its members stopped receiving surveys once they were almost hitting the cash out threshold, meaning they were not able to cash out their money.(based on complaints at Trust pilot)
- A number of its users have also complained about their accounts being blocked for unclear reasons. What got my attention is a comment available at trust pilot that due to an error at one panel, all CINT panels were closed. Imagine having some money in all of the panels you have signed up for, and due to an error in one site all your accounts are closed.
- Collecting data for several minutes and then told you are not eligible for the survey. This is what we have experienced with viewpoint. I received a survey invitation and just like any other surveys, asked around three questions about myself and then redirected me to the survey. After answering a number of questions on the survey, I was shocked to see that I didn't qualify for the survey. If that is so, then why was I redirected to the real survey? And who is going to pay for the time I wasted with that particular survey?
Conclusion.
CINT is a world giant when it comes to online surveys. It is a great research powerhouse for various companies who would like to carry out an online survey.
This comes at a great cost to its panelists, who, for one reason or another can't get a single cent for their hard work.
Most of those looking for ways to make a living online are disabled, and we can only imagine their feelings when they get scammend.
Based on our own experience with CINT and other reviews available online, we won't recommend any one to sign up for any of it's panels, but in case you would like to try, you are free to do so.
