Survey Examiner FAQs
Answers about how we verify survey and GPT apps, handle payout proofs, and keep our data fresh for readers.
Common questions
- What makes Survey Examiner different from typical review sites?
- We only publish claims that tie back to verified payout proofs, logged earnings sessions, or tribunal-reviewed reports. Marketing copy alone never drives our verdicts.
- How do you verify payout proofs?
- Uploads are fingerprinted with hashes, EXIF data is stripped, and OCR checks amounts against what the user claims before any proof is accepted.
- Can I contribute my own data?
- Yes—submit redacted payout receipts or log your time and earnings. Once verified, your data feeds the hourly rate index, comparison charts, and scam alerts.
- Do affiliate partnerships affect scores?
- No. Scores come from data: payouts, time-to-cashout, and reliability signals. Affiliate offers are disclosed separately and cannot override the numbers.
- How often is data refreshed?
- Static pages stay fast, while edge fetches hydrate hourly rate updates, scam reports, and new payout proofs as they are verified.
