PineCone Research is a survey site that usually appears on many top 5 survey site lists yet it is a site that does not allow everyone to join. Getting into PineCone can be hard.

PineCone Research is much different compared to your average survey site. For starters PineCone only opens their doors to new members a few times a year. Also members do not have their own usernames and passwords. PineCone creates one for you which are not easy to remember. Where PineCone gets the respect is in their surveys. Surveys come one per week, but can be more if you interest profiles match more. Their surveys are usually around 20 minutes long and pay $3. Unlike other survey sites like Inbox Dollars that have surveys that are never ending, PineCone surveys do not have much to read or click. Also Insiders In has never been kicked out of a survey midway through unlike every other survey site we have reviewed.

Overall PineCone Research ranks better than Opinion Outpost because they send you your check for surveys one week later to your address or PayPal account.
