The Short Version

Plan two substantial randomized survey experiments within a 2,000-response Free account allowance without accidentally exhausting the sample budget. A practical way to begin is to decide whether the two experiments answer distinct questions or provide a planned replication, then create separate studies so each instrument, respondent URL, treatment assignment, and results screen remains clear. Finish by making sure you inspect each study in the app; use Paid when you need combined exports, replication packages, publication figures, panel completion workflows, or further fielding. The full walkthrough below explains each part in order.

Is This Guide for You?

Researchers considering two replications, two populations, two messages, or a discovery-and-confirmation design with approximately 1,000 responses each.

Follow These Steps

Work through these 7 steps at your own pace. The wording is intentionally practical, and you can return to the checklist at the end when you are ready to review your work.

Decide whether the two experiments answer distinct questions or provide a planned replication.
Create separate studies so each instrument, respondent URL, treatment assignment, and results screen remains clear.
Set the target to 1,000 accepted responses in each study and enable auto-close if appropriate.
Pilot both links with synthetic data and a small number of real testers before broad recruitment.
Monitor the account-level allowance because accepted responses across both studies share the same 2,000-response total.
Keep duplicate identifiers and minimum-completion settings sensible so low-quality traffic is flagged without excluding legitimate respondents.
Inspect each study in the app; use Paid when you need combined exports, replication packages, publication figures, panel completion workflows, or further fielding.

What This Helps You Accomplish

A cumulative allowance is flexible, but it requires allocation. Two 1,000-response studies are possible when neither study overshoots and the account has not already consumed Free responses. A discovery-and-confirmation plan can be especially useful when hypotheses and analysis decisions are fixed before the second study.

A Quick Confidence Check

Two-study rationale documented.
Targets total no more than 2,000.
Auto-close decision made.
Pilot traffic budget reserved.
Recruitment identifiers configured.
Export needs planned.

Common Questions

Can I use this guide if I am new to this?

Yes. Researchers considering two replications, two populations, two messages, or a discovery-and-confirmation design with approximately 1,000 responses each. Follow the steps in order, start with a small test, and use the final checklist before you field or report anything important.

What is the simplest way to get started?

Begin by decide whether the two experiments answer distinct questions or provide a planned replication. Next, create separate studies so each instrument, respondent URL, treatment assignment, and results screen remains clear. You do not need to perfect every setting before running a small preview or pilot.

How do I know when I am ready?

Use the confidence check above. In particular: Two-study rationale documented. Targets total no more than 2,000. Auto-close decision made. Pilot traffic budget reserved. When the decision is consequential, keep your study documentation and ask a qualified colleague or methods reviewer to examine the design as well.
