Gigwalk vs PRISM Mystery Shopping Platform

Gigwalk is a cloud-based work execution platform for collecting, validating, and acting on field data. Businesses can assign projects to their own teams or use a network of 1.7 million Gigwalkers. The workflow supports project creation, GPS-based worker matching, task execution, and real-time analysis. Mobile tools cover work assignment and scheduling, messaging, tracking, validation, and compliance. Consumer brands can measure shelf share and check display compliance; other listed uses include mystery shops, QSR audits, digital experience testing, safety checks, location surveys, and property inspections. Projects can use templates, dashboards, GPS-, time-, and date-verified work, photo analysis, and barcode scanning. The platform also supports image and video collection and annotation for AI training, plus APIs and webhooks for retrieving platform data in real time. The Gigwalker app runs on iOS and Android smartphones, not other devices. Business software pricing is available on request. The app is free to download, while individual Gigs pay $3 to $100 or more depending on the task. Payments go through PayPal after approved work, subject to a $35 minimum balance.

PRISM Mystery Shopping Platform supports internal and vendor-run programs for measuring brand and customer experience. It handles on-site inspections, crowdsourced microshops, web-based shops, recorded telephone shops, covert video shops, and audio shops. Evaluators can submit shop data through the integrated iSecretShop mobile app or by computer. The maker says its network includes nearly 1,000,000 registered evaluators and field agents, with more than 150 demographic data points, custom demographic fields, and multi-language and currency support. Forms can use varied question logic, while fraud checks look for suspicious patterns and examine image metadata. The dashboard combines mystery shopping with channels such as internal audits, price audits, surveys, polling, and online reputation management. It offers custom views, comparative filters, benchmarking, hierarchical access controls, and unlimited authorized users without per-user fees. Scheduled reports can be sent by API, FTP, sFTP, or email. A Team Action Module can trigger plans when field defects are found. The platform is available on Android, iOS, web, and API. Pricing is on request.
