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 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…

  • Rebuilding the same study three times across three tools just to run it once.
  • Replicating a published study meaning rebuilding it from scratch out of the methods section.
  • Losing track of which version your last 200 participants actually saw.
  • Modern stimulus types (audio, voice conversation, emotion scoring) being either impossible or a hack.
  • Paying per response just to collect data when your grant is already paying for participants.
  • Vendor lock-in that means leaving means losing five years of study designs.

End-to-end

One tool. The whole workflow.

  1. PlaygroundCollect inspiration before a study exists
  2. DesignDrag blocks, set conditions, configure variants
  3. PreregisterOne-click OSF preregistration; frozen forever
  4. RecruitConnect Prolific or your own panel
  5. RunReal-time response collection
  6. AnalyzeLive results, breakdowns, exports
  7. ReplicateReplicate any public study; track divergence

Built for rigor

What sets My Research Lab apart

Version everything

Every save is a version. Every preregistration is frozen forever. Compare side-by-side; restore any prior state.

One-click replication

Bring any study into your workspace — same blocks, same conditions — and adapt freely. Original authors are credited once your replication is public.

Live collaboration

See who's editing what. Comment on any block. @mention teammates. Threaded discussions stay with the study.

Modern stimuli

46+ block types: audio recording, voice conversation with AI, emotion scoring, factorial variants, hot-spots, and more.

Open integrations

OSF, Prolific, Anthropic, Hume — BYO keys, your accounts, no markup. New providers via our open adapter pattern.

Make it your own

Start from a template or build your own blocks. Adapt any study to your protocol — your wording, your conditions — and save it as a reusable template for your lab.

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 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; funds development.

For PhD students + postdocs

Designed for the way you actually work

  • Build complex studies without writing code
  • Replicate any methodology in one click
  • Comment with your advisor on specific blocks
  • Save versions before every meeting
  • Free forever; bring your own Prolific account
  • Export in CSV / SPSS / R-friendly formats

For PIs + lab directors

Built for the standards you uphold

  • Preregistration is the default
  • Every study version frozen + cited
  • Cross-workspace replications visible
  • Audit trail for every change — IRB-ready
  • Adapter architecture: never locked in
  • Pay what feels right; partnerships available
