How SurveySwap Protect works

Every respondent passes a short pre-check before they reach your survey. Protect scores them across 46 signals and only lets clean, attentive responses through.

Bot & automation defence

Detects browser automation, impossible typing speed, paste-ins, and tab-switching that signal a non-human or distracted respondent.

AI open-end grading

An Anthropic LLM reads open-text answers and flags generic, off-topic, over-polished, or AI-assisted responses.

Device & network intelligence

Catches VPNs, proxies, datacenter IPs, and duplicate respondents reusing the same device across your study.

Attention checks

Built-in instruction and attention items screen out speeders and people who aren't actually reading.

Scores & reason codes

Every respondent gets a 0–100 quality score with a clear verdict — pass, review, or block — and the exact reasons behind it.

Your rules, your dashboard

Run in shadow, review, or block mode, watch results in a live dashboard, and pipe verdicts into your tools via webhooks.

Clean data, every time

Stop paying to analyse junk responses
