Unlock results with myVoice points
- Sign up freeCreate a myVoice account and earn points by answering surveys, or buy a points pack.
- Open a survey in the Research HubResults open once a survey has at least 20 respondents.
- Unlock the questions you needPay per question. The price rises with sample size: 100, 200, 300 or 500 points a question at 0, 300, 500 and 1,000+ clean respondents.
Need the full dataset or your own survey?
Open answers and AI themes cost 500 points per survey, and are included on Enterprise. For a custom survey, a cross-tab pack or a briefing on any of these topics, talk to Balcostics.
Published results drop flagged and duplicate accounts, so the unlocked N can be lower than the response count.
Questions researchers ask
Researchers and members use the same app for opposite jobs. This page is the researcher side: who does what, the six steps in the Research Hub, the three tiers, points packs, rewards, the checks on the data, and how to unlock findings from a public survey.
Figures for the size of the panel come from GET /api/surveys/hub-stats on 1 October 2026: 6,063 respondents, 157 surveys, 22 organisations, 14 parishes. Balcostics treats the respondent count as active registered members. The number moves. Quote it with the date.

Points packs and the field collector
Points are bought through WiPay, in Jamaican dollars.
| Pack | Price |
|---|---|
| 1,000 points | J$1,300 |
| 5,000 points | J$4,500 |
| 10,000 points | J$8,500 |
| 30,000 points | J$20,000 |
The offline field collector is 10,000 points a month for the study owner. Interviewers use it free. It is CAPI on Android: offline capture and sync, contact attempts, household roster, random (Kish) respondent selection, GPS at start and finish, a supervisor flag beyond 500 metres, and per-question timing. Enumerator, supervisor and manager are separate roles. Devices are Android.
An all-island panel read commissioned from Balcostics, as distinct from these self-serve points prices, is about J$470 a respondent at 1,000 completes in the May 2026 quotation model. The comparison with face-to-face fieldwork is on myVoice sentiment surveys.
Rewards and data checks
Members are paid from the reward pool when they finish a survey. They are not paid per question. A daily activity bonus pays up to 50 points for using several parts of the app. Mobile top-ups are available once the account is at least 21 days old, active enough, and holds enough points. The app shows the member the rule that applies to their account.
Three checks sit on the researcher side.
- One paying account per device. A duplicate account on the same device cannot redeem.
- Published counts drop flagged and duplicate accounts. The respondent number you see is the clean count.
- Exports are anonymised. The CSV carries parish, age group and gender, and education or employment where the survey asked them. It does not carry names or email addresses.
How to unlock public survey findings
Some surveys on the Hub are public. Anyone with a myVoice account can unlock the findings with points. Counts and percentages stay in the Hub, where flagged accounts are already excluded. Unlock prices use that clean sample.
- Sign up free at myvoice.page/login. Earn points by answering surveys, or buy a points pack.
- Open the survey in the Research Hub. Results open once a survey has at least 20 respondents.
- Unlock the questions you need. You pay per question. The price rises with the clean sample: 100 points a question below 300 clean respondents, 200 points from 300, 300 points from 500, and 500 points from 1,000 clean respondents upward.
- Open answers and AI themes are 500 points for the survey, and are included on Enterprise.
For a custom survey, a cross-tab pack, or a briefing, talk to Balcostics. For a population estimate rather than a panel read, commission fieldwork and keep the Hub as the early signal.
Is the myVoice panel a probability sample?
No. Members choose to join and are rewarded for completed surveys. The panel shows direction and change quickly. For a population estimate we field a sampled survey, and the panel can run alongside it.
Can Balcostics run the survey for us?
Yes. Send your scope and we design, program, launch and report, online, offline, or both. You can also do the six Research Hub steps yourself.
Can we collect where people are offline?
Yes. The myVoice field collector runs on Android tablets and phones without signal and syncs later. It records GPS at the start and finish, and it stores per-question timing.
Where does open-answer sentiment come from?
The open-text sentiment feature calls an external AI model. Themes on open answers are part of that feature. Exports stay anonymised: no names and no email addresses.
