Ipsos iSay is the survey rewards community of Ipsos. Members answer surveys and research studies and earn points that can be exchanged for vouchers, prepaid cards or donations, depending on the country.

This page looks at how Ipsos iSay works, how it pays in India, and how PocketsFull compares as another place to do surveys and offers.

What Ipsos iSay is

Ipsos iSay is an online survey panel run by Ipsos, a market research group. Each country panel is run by a local Ipsos company: in India this is Ipsos Research Private Limited.

Members join the panel for the country they live in and answer surveys and other research studies in exchange for points.

Facts checked on

How members earn on Ipsos iSay

  • Surveys, with the points for each one shown before it starts.
  • Profile surveys, which add points the first time each one is completed.
  • Product testing, where members try products and answer follow-up surveys.
  • Live studies, special communities and activity journals.
  • A refer-a-friend programme, though its reward terms are published for the US edition only.

Ipsos iSay's own FAQ says members will not earn large sums from surveys, which matches how most survey panels work: it is small, occasional income, not a job.

Who can join and how it pays

In India, membership requires being 18 or older and resident in India, and joining is free.

New members have to wait 96 hours after registering before redeeming a reward, and 48 hours after changing the registered email address.

In the India catalogue, points can be exchanged for Xoxoday vouchers, a Reliance Jio Mart voucher or an Ipsos Foundation donation. PhonePe eGift vouchers were marked as coming soon when the catalogue was last checked. PayPal is not part of the India catalogue, unlike some other countries where Ipsos iSay operates.

The India catalogue lists a voucher worth Rs 200 for 2,000 points, or a Rs 100 donation for 1,000 points.
