The structural difference: a built-in verified panel vs. a survey tool

Qualtrics is a survey-authoring platform — powerful, but it doesn't come with respondents. Teams typically license Qualtrics for the tool, then separately buy panel access and hire a qual vendor to fill the gaps. Pogo is a single platform: quantitative surveys and AI-moderated qualitative interviews, run on a panel of 3M+ purchase-verified buyers that's already built in.

Why teams choose Pogo over Qualtrics

01 · Verified buyers

Verified buyers, not self-reported claims

Most research panels qualify respondents by answering a screener, so anyone can claim to buy your brand to collect the incentive. On Pogo, every respondent is screened by real card, receipt, and location data before the study starts.

02 · Hard-to-fill audiences

Reach the buyers other panels can't

Low-incidence SKUs, a competitor's customers, category lapsers — that's where opt-in panels run dry. Pogo finds them by what they actually bought: brand, retailer, SKU, and frequency.

03 · Behavior + answer

The behavior behind every answer

Most tools give you the survey response. Pogo gives you the response and the verified purchase behind it — the receipt, the store visit, the brand switch — attached to the same person, in one study.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Pogo different from Qualtrics?

Qualtrics is a survey-building tool — it doesn't come with respondents. Pogo is a full platform: quantitative surveys and AI-moderated qualitative interviews, run on a built-in panel of 3M+ purchase-verified buyers, so you're not sourcing a panel and a qual vendor separately.

What data does Pogo actually use to verify a purchase?

Pogo matches respondents against real-world purchase signals — including credit and debit card transaction data, digital receipts, in-store visit data, and app usage data — before they ever qualify for a study. That's what "purchase-verified" means in practice: confirmed behavior across multiple data sources, not a single self-reported screener question.

Do I still need a separate panel if I use Pogo?

No. Pogo's panel of purchase-verified buyers is built into the platform, so you can field a study without sourcing respondents elsewhere first.

How does Pogo verify its research panel?

Every Pogo respondent is matched to real purchase and transaction data before they qualify for a study — confirmed behavior, not a self-report screener.

Can I run both quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews on Pogo?

Yes. Pogo supports large-sample quantitative surveys plus AI-moderated qualitative interviews, all on the same purchase-verified panel — one platform instead of a survey tool plus a separate qual vendor.

Can Pogo reach niche or hard-to-find audiences?

Yes. Because respondents are matched to real transaction data, Pogo can target specific buying behaviors down to sub-1% incidence rates — without you having to source that audience yourself.

How fast can I get results from a Pogo study?

Most surveys and AI-moderated interview studies field and report within hours to a few days, since the panel and methodology are already built into the platform.
