Frequently asked questions
Screeners are custom questions used to qualify participants before they enter your study. They help ensure that only people who meet your specific criteria—like experience, or behaviors—can participate, so every response you get is relevant and useful.
You can add screener questions during the test setup flow. Simply toggle on the screener option, add your questions, and define which answers qualify or disqualify a participant. You can use single select or multi select, depending on your needs.
Screeners are included with all plan levels. You will only pay for screened in responses from the Lyssna panel. These are charged at just $2 per screened in participant. If you are recruiting from your own audience there is no fee to use a screener.
Yes. Whether you're using our participant panel or your own recruits, you can apply screener questions to filter participants and ensure your data comes from the right people. There is no additional charge to use screeners with your own participants.
If your screener is too narrow, it may limit the number of qualified participants. We recommend testing your screener logic first and adjusting criteria to maintain a balance between precision and feasibility.
