For free academic accounts. Run any of the 47 tests with scores, norms where supported and trial-level export. Each participant uses one credit for the whole study, whatever the number of tests.
Minimum purchase: 25 credits ($24.75).
Credits are for academic and nonprofit research. You confirm this before paying.
Every plan includes automated scoring, the Study Quality Monitor, score CSV and the two-study comparison CSV. Paid plans and pay-as-you-go studies add norms where supported, trial-level CSV and Clock Drawing JSON.
Each link counts toward your participant limit, or uses one credit, as soon as you create it, before anyone takes part. A participant counts once for the whole study, whatever the number of tests. A participant in another study or timepoint counts again.
Every plan signs in with an email link or a ConductScience account.

List prices in US dollars for one year. Credit packs are for academic and nonprofit research. Yearly academic plans add Italian participant pages and adjustable task settings, and Department and Institution add researcher seats. Prices on other platforms are on the comparison pages, with the date they were checked.
Each study can share one open link with Prolific, Sona Systems, CloudResearch Connect or Qualtrics. The recruitment setup guides show the settings for each service.
One person in one study. A participant uses one credit, or one place in a yearly allowance, for the whole study, however many tests it runs. The same person in another study or at another timepoint counts again.
A participant you add yourself, with a participant link or an imported ID, is counted when you add them. A person who arrives through your open study link is counted when they agree to the consent form. People who open the link and leave, or decline consent, are not counted.
Simple Reaction Time, Choice Reaction Time, Go/No-Go Task, Eriksen Flanker Task, Stroop Color-Word Test and Digit Span Test. Free studies with these tests can include up to 50 participants each, with up to 3 active studies. A study that uses any other test is pay as you go.
No. Percentiles come with every paid plan and with pay-as-you-go studies, for the tests that have a published norm. Free studies that use only the free tests get scores and quality flags without percentiles.
Each participant already in the study uses one credit at the switch, and every new participant uses one credit. The study stays pay as you go after that, even if you remove the paid tests.
Academic and nonprofit pricing, including participant credits, is for independently funded, publication-oriented work that is not commercially sponsored, used for product development or regulatory submission, or restricted for a for-profit sponsor. Sponsored university or hospital studies use Commercial Research pricing.
Yes. Department, Institution, Commercial Research, Commercial Team, Enterprise, and all three-year licenses use a PO or invoice quote. Academic Research one-year licenses and participant credits can also be bought by card.
Academic Institution covers unlimited participants and researcher seats under fair use, for $6,499 a year or $15,599 for three prepaid years.
Participants who arrive from Prolific, Sona Systems, CloudResearch Connect or Qualtrics use a credit or an allowance place like any other participant, with no added fee. Participant payments and the service's own fees are paid to that service.
