My Research Lab
Create. Replicate. Repeat.
Start from scratch or any published study and adapt it freely. Design, preregister, recruit, run, analyze — all without leaving My Research Lab. Your survey builder and version history live here. Your OSF, Prolific, and AI vendor accounts connect through. One workspace.
Free for individual researchers · BYO Prolific / OSF / Anthropic / Hume · No credit card
The status quo
Tired of…
- No streamlined path from the first idea, through preregistration, to collecting responses.
- Replicating a published study meaning rebuilding it from scratch out of the methods section.
- Losing track of which version is final and accepted.
- Modern stimulus types (audio, voice conversation, emotion scoring) being either impossible or a hack.
- No modern tool to work with your team, run innovative studies, and find new peer researchers.
- No single transparent home for your work — one place from idea to the published record.
End-to-end
One tool. The whole workflow.
No more juggling six tools. My Research Lab covers the full research lifecycle in one workspace — with version control under every step.
- PlaygroundCollect inspiration, links, drafts before a study exists
- DesignDrag blocks, set conditions, configure variants
- PreregisterOne-click OSF preregistration; frozen version forever
- RecruitConnect Prolific or open recruitment to your own panel
- RunParticipants take the study; real-time response collection
- AnalyzeLive results, condition breakdowns, exports in any format
- ReplicateReplicate any public study; track divergence from the original
Every step versioned. Every change tracked. Every study replicable.
Built for rigor
What sets My Research Lab apart
Version everything
Every save is a version. Every preregistration is frozen forever. Compare versions side-by-side. Restore any prior state. Your changelog writes itself.
One-click replication
Found a study you want to replicate? Bring it into your workspace. Same blocks, same conditions — adapt freely. Original authors are credited once your replication is public.
Live collaboration
See who's editing what. Comment on any block. @mention teammates. Soft-lock prevents accidental conflicts. Threaded discussions stay with the study.
Modern stimuli
46+ block types: text, image, audio recording, voice conversation with AI, emotion scoring, A/B factorial variants, social-media-post mockups, signature capture, hot-spot interactions.
Open integrations
OSF preregistration. Prolific recruitment. Anthropic Claude. Hume emotion AI. BYO keys — your data, your accounts, no markup. Add new providers via our open adapter pattern.
Radical transparency
Open by default. Public studies are replicable by anyone. Your workflow is visible to your team. Methodology you can audit. Source-available; commercial-friendly.
From the community
Real studies from real researchers
Browse published methodologies. Replicate any of them in one click. Be among the first researchers to publish a study in the open My Research Lab library — your work becomes a starting point for replications.
Before / after
Replace six tools with one workspace.
Before My Research Lab
- — A survey tool — building the study ($$$/yr seat license)
- — OSF — preregistration (free but disconnected)
- — Prolific — recruitment (pass-through, but you re-key everything)
- — Word doc — methodology notes
- — Spreadsheets — tracking which version ran when
- — Email threads — collaboration
≈ $2,000–15,000 per researcher per year.
With My Research Lab
- One workspace: design + preregistration + recruitment + collaboration + version history + replication
- One subscription — free for individuals; pay what feels right above that
- BYO Prolific / AI vendor costs — no markup
Free for individual researchers.
Pricing
Pay what feels right.
My Research Lab is free to use. If it helps your research, you decide what it's worth. We built this for science, not for subscription revenue. Pay $0 forever — that's a real option, not a trap.
Free
$0 / forever
For PhD students, indie researchers, anyone just starting out.
All features. All blocks. BYO vendor accounts.
Supporter
Suggested ~$9 / month
For researchers who want to back the project.
Same features as Free. The difference is moral support.
Lab / Group
Suggested ~$29 / month
For labs using My Research Lab as their primary tool.
Same features as Free. Helps fund larger development cycles.
No tier is locked. No paywall. Pay what your budget allows. Cancel anytime.
For universities + departments
Interested in a deeper relationship — dedicated infrastructure, SSO, DPA, custom features, design-partner status? We'd rather have a conversation than quote a number. Partnership pricing is custom; scope is too.
For PhD students + postdocs
Designed for the way you actually work
- Build complex studies without writing a line of code
- Replicate any published methodology in one click — perfect for your literature review
- Comment with your advisor on specific blocks, not “the whole survey”
- Save versions before every meeting; restore if your advisor changes their mind
- Free forever; bring your own Prolific account
- Export everything in CSV / SPSS / R-friendly formats
For PIs + lab directors
Built for the standards you uphold
- Preregistration is the default, not an afterthought
- Every study version is frozen + cited individually
- Cross-workspace replications visible from your study page
- Audit trail for every change — IRB-ready out of the box
- Adapter architecture: never locked into a vendor again
- Pay what feels right at lab level; talk to us about partnerships
