Recruit real people.
Run live research.
Research Studio lets you recruit verified, real adults from the JoyR1der community, screen them into a study, run live moderated video sessions, and pay each participant on completion — all from one workspace.
Why research on JoyR1der
A full research workflow built on a live community — recruitment, sessions, recordings, payouts and compliance, without stitching five tools together.
Real, verified participants
Recruit from the JoyR1der community. Qualified candidates verify their ID and sign your consent before they ever enrol — so every person in your study is a real, consenting adult.
Precision Audience Builder
Shape who your study reaches by sex, country, distance from a city, community status and interests — read from what people choose, attend and browse. A live reach gauge tells you how fillable your target is as you go.
Live, moderated sessions
Run private, roster-gated video sessions in the JoyR1der app — never a public event. Group sessions seat your enrolled participants up to a limit with a waitlist; 1:1 interviews are assigned or booked by participants from the time slots you open. Use your interview guide, drop timestamped markers, and invite clients as silent backroom observers.
Private recordings you own
Sessions are recorded automatically to your workspace with private, expiring playback links. Recordings are never published, never sold, and never surface anywhere on JoyR1der.
Incentives, handled
Fund a shared workspace wallet, set a per-participant incentive, and mark participants complete to pay them. Unspent recruitment funds are refunded when you close a drive.
Consent & compliance built in
Versioned consent forms, workspace KYC, a data-processing agreement and a clear biometric policy — and strictly verified adults only, with exact ages never held, by design.
From workspace to insight in three steps
Self-serve from start to finish, with a demo study you can explore before you spend a cent.
Set up & fund
Create a research workspace, invite your team as Managers, Analysts or view-only Clients, and fund your shared wallet (from $5). Verify the workspace for larger top-ups and payouts.
Build & recruit
Write a screener, shape your audience, set a participant target and incentive, and launch a recruitment drive. Qualified candidates sign consent and enrol onto your roster.
Run & pay
Schedule sessions in the portal and host them in the app. Observe, record and mark participants complete to pay them — then review results and recordings.
What you can run
One studio for the methods you already use.
Screened recruitment drives
Surface a published screener to matching JoyR1der users; recruiting stops automatically once your qualified pool hits target. Review candidates, then enrol the ones you want.
Interviews, focus groups & usability
Live 1:1 depth interviews or group sessions with an interview guide, timestamped markers and a private backroom for observers.
Observed & recorded, privately
Clients watch live from the backroom and chat only with you. Every recorded session lands in your workspace with private, expiring links.
Fair participant incentives
Set the incentive per participant and pay on completion, straight from your wallet — no gift-card wrangling, no spreadsheets.
Ethical by design
Participant privacy and consent aren't an add-on — they're the foundation.
Informed consent, versioned
Every study starts with our standard consent — edit the wording or upload your own form. Participants sign before enrolling, and any change has everyone enrolled sign again before their next session.
Verified adults only
Every participant is an ID-verified adult (18+). We don't offer age as a targeting dimension and don't retain exact ages — it protects participants and keeps your study clean.
