Frequently asked questions

When am I charged for purchased sample?

You are charged per qualified complete only. Partials, screen-outs, and failed quality checks are not billed. Unused escrowed budget returns to your balance if you stop early.

Can I set demographic quotas on bought sample?

Yes. Target by country, age, gender, and more, with quotas per segment, and review feasibility before launch.

Where can I find a step-by-step Buy responses guide?

See the Help Center article at /help/buy-responses for feasibility, escrow, balance top-ups, and live fielding—also available in Arabic at /ar/help/buy-responses.

Do purchased responses mix with my other channels?

Yes. They land in the same dataset, source-tagged, so you can layer, cross-tab, and run AI analysis across all sources.
