Panel costs range from $0.00 to $3.00 per participant depending on how difficult it is to reach people with the demographic characteristics you select. On Prime Panels, [the price](https://go.turkprime.com/knowledge/prime-panels?hsLang=en) of your study is determined by how long the study takes and how hard it is to recruit the people in your sample. The feasibility calculator shows the total cost of your study. ![PP Knowledge Base_feasibility calculator \[age selected\]_12.15.2021](https://go.cloudresearch.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PP%20Knowledge%20Base_feasibility%20calculator%20%5Bage%20selected%5D_12.15.2021.png?width=688&name=PP%20Knowledge%20Base_feasibility%20calculator%20%5Bage%20selected%5D_12.15.2021.png) ### Some Studies are Unfeasible In addition to calculating cost, the feasibility calculator assesses the likelihood that you will be able to reach your desired sample size, given the Panel Options you select. If the panel you are trying to recruit is not feasible, you will receive a message that your study may not reach the number of participants you desire. ![PP Knowledge Base_feasibility calculator \[not feasible\]_12.15.2021](https://go.cloudresearch.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PP%20Knowledge%20Base_feasibility%20calculator%20%5Bnot%20feasible%5D_12.15.2021.png?width=688&name=PP%20Knowledge%20Base_feasibility%20calculator%20%5Bnot%20feasible%5D_12.15.2021.png)   When you receive this message you can contact our customer service to receive a quote for what it would cost to guarantee you reach your desired sample. ### Complex Targeting Criteria In addition to the Panel options available when setting up your study, Prime Panels allows for complex demographic targeting far beyond what is available in our self-service tools. Using Managed Research, we can target nearly any sample. If you are interested in sampling a hard-to-reach group, you can [tell us](https://www.turkprime.com/Service/ConnectWithParticipants#contact-nav) about it and a project manager can provide a quote. - [Account and Billing](https://go.cloudresearch.com/en/knowledge/account-and-billing?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Getting started](https://go.cloudresearch.com/en/knowledge/account-and-billing?hsLang=en#getting-started) - [Managing Your Account](https://go.cloudresearch.com/en/knowledge/account-and-billing?hsLang=en#managing-your-account) - [Pricing Structure](https://go.cloudresearch.com/en/knowledge/account-and-billing?hsLang=en#pricing-structure) - [Payment and Charges](https://go.cloudresearch.com/en/knowledge/account-and-billing?hsLang=en#payment-and-charges) - [Account Troubleshooting](https://go.cloudresearch.com/en/knowledge/account-and-billing?hsLang=en#account-troubleshooting) - [Designing and Launching Studies](https://go.cloudresearch.com/en/knowledge/designing-and-launching-studies?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Setting up MTurk Toolkit Studies](https://go.cloudresearch.com/en/knowledge/designing-and-launching-studies?hsLang=en#setting-up-mturk-toolkit-studies) - [Setting up Prime Panels Studies](https://go.cloudresearch.com/en/knowledge/designing-and-launching-studies?hsLang=en#setting-up-prime-panels-studies) - [Managed Research](https://go.cloudresearch.com/en/knowledge/designing-and-launching-studies?hsLang=en#managed-research) - [Managing Studies](https://go.cloudresearch.com/en/knowledge/managing-studies?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Managing MTurk Studies](https://go.cloudresearch.com/en/knowledge/managing-studies?hsLang=en#managing-mturk-studies) - [Managing Prime Panels Studies](https://go.cloudresearch.com/en/knowledge/managing-studies?hsLang=en#managing-prime-panels-studies) - [Troubleshooting MTurk Studies](https://go.cloudresearch.com/en/knowledge/managing-studies?hsLang=en#troubleshooting-mturk-studies) - [Managing Participants](https://go.cloudresearch.com/en/knowledge/managing-participants?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Managing MTurk Workers](https://go.cloudresearch.com/en/knowledge/managing-participants?hsLang=en#managing-mturk-workers) - [Managing Participants on Prime Panels](https://go.cloudresearch.com/en/knowledge/managing-participants?hsLang=en#managing-participants-on-prime-panels) - [Common Questions](https://go.cloudresearch.com/en/knowledge/common-questions?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Managed Research (5)](https://go.cloudresearch.com/en/knowledge/common-questions?hsLang=en#managed-research-5) - [Prime Panels](https://go.cloudresearch.com/en/knowledge/common-questions?hsLang=en#prime-panels) - [Mechanical Turk](https://go.cloudresearch.com/en/knowledge/common-questions?hsLang=en#mechanical-turk) © 2026 CloudResearch.
