iSecretShop

iSecretShop is a job board and software platform that brings mystery-shopping and other research assignments from multiple providers into one place. It suits shoppers who want several kinds of field work and businesses exploring internal audits. Its broad assignment mix and flexible access are useful, but shoppers must look to each provider—not iSecretShop—for payment.

Overview

Shoppers can find covert mystery shops, competitive price audits, merchandising work, market research panels, intercept interviews, and overt audits. Bringing opportunities from multiple companies together can make iSecretShop a practical starting point for finding assignments; it does not make the providers’ payment policies uniform.

Key features

Assignment discovery and alerts

Available-shop emails, phone push notifications, and targeted geo-zones help shoppers spot opportunities, including ones near them. The mix is useful for people looking across different types of research work, though assignment availability and terms come from the companies offering each job.

Field workflow

Shoppers can schedule assignments, complete them on site, attach multiple forms of evidence such as photos with geotags and timestamps, and submit from a mobile device. That supports a field-based workflow without requiring a separate computer submission step.

Business use

Businesses can contact iSecretShop about internal audits and demonstrations. Existing business clients should direct questions about shops and reports to their contracted mystery shopping provider or market research company.

Pricing

Shoppers

The iOS and Android apps are free, and shoppers can also use the web experience. iSecretShop does not pay shoppers; the provider offering an assignment sets its payment policy. Anyone choosing work should check those terms with the provider rather than treating the free app as a guarantee of paid assignments.

Business platform

The business platform uses custom pricing; prospective customers can contact sales to discuss options. The company offers a route to ask about internal audits and demonstrations, but businesses should request pricing directly before evaluating cost.

Platforms

iSecretShop supports Android, iOS, mobile web, and desktop web, so shoppers do not need a smartphone to use the service. The iPhone and iPad app requires iOS 15.1 or later for iPhone. Google Play says the app encrypts data in transit, shares no data with third parties, and allows data-deletion requests; these are developer-provided disclosures.

Who it's for

It is a fit for shoppers seeking assignments from multiple providers, especially those interested in more than conventional mystery shops. Computer access also makes it viable for people without a smartphone. Businesses considering internal audits can ask about the platform, but organizations wanting a publicly priced business plan or a stated third-party integration list may need to look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Smartphone apps, mobile web, and computer access accommodate different working setups.
• Cons: iSecretShop does not pay shoppers, and payment terms vary by assignment provider.

Verdict

Look elsewhere if you need iSecretShop itself to pay shoppers, or if your business needs public pricing before starting a buying conversation.
