The new version of free research and marketing platform Pollective is out! Until today, we have received nearly 1 million participations in more than 10 thousand researches, created free of charge by our users who want to research subjects they are interested in and turn them into data. With shared experiences and preferences, curiosity transformed into data. Pollective 2.0 was designed according to user feedback and new features were added. You asked for it and we gave it to you! Pollective is free and will always be free. All you have to do is participate in the research! You earn carrots from each research you participate in and you can create your own research with the carrots for free. Then you can broadcast it by targeting age, gender and time. And you can follow the results live, starting from the first answer. Do you have a Polymath whose research you like - start following and be followed by those who like your research. Do not forget that the research will be seen first by your followers. Pollective takes the protection of personal information very seriously. Your answers in researches are always anonymous. Your name, surname, username will never be seen by the researcher and other members, and they can never access this information. In researches, age, gender and location information of members are shared in a format like Polymath # 007. Therefore, when you create your account for the first time, you only need to share age, gender, location information for once. That way, you won't face the same questions over and over again. If sharing your ideas and experiences defines you, if you are curious about life, Pollective is just for you! Join second gen. members now!

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pollective at 82% against Gener8's 41%. Pollective also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Gener8's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ratings volume (4.9K vs 2). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
