Toluna Product Testing

What's in the box: There is no regular box; selected members sometimes receive a single product to test at home and review, alongside rewards earned from online surveys.

Toluna is an online opinion community, not a traditional subscription box. You join Toluna Influencers for free, answer surveys about products and services, and collect rewards for taking part. The site has local versions for dozens of countries, including France, so French shoppers can sign up and take part in their own language. Product testing is part of the appeal. From time to time, selected members are invited to try a product at home and then give feedback. These invitations are not guaranteed, and the site does not promise a regular delivery schedule or a set number of items, so if you expect a monthly parcel you will probably be disappointed. Most of what you do will be surveys, and rewards build up slowly as you take part. The good news is that joining costs nothing and you can take part as much or as little as you like. The cost is your time: surveys can feel repetitive, and some end early if you don't match the profile they want. Like any panel, Toluna asks for personal and demographic details, so read the privacy policy before you sign up. Toluna is a long-running, well-known name in market research, which adds some reassurance. If you enjoy giving your opinion and see free samples as an occasional extra, it is a reasonable choice.
