The customers have spoken

"I would say the merger of UserZoom definitely has helped UserTesting to be the number 1 tool in the market. dscout works great for diary studies but other than that has some limitations and is not as robust as usertesting.com"

    End-to-end experience insight platform

    • UserTesting offers an all-in-one solution for experience research, including diary studies, focus groups, and much more. Test any product or experience, anytime, anywhere, with a suite of advanced methodologies—or have our Professional Services team do it for you.

    Unmatched audience quality and reach

    • The UserTesting Network is a diverse, high-quality participant pool through an extensive global network across over 100 countries—get actionable feedback from your target audience in hours
    • Dscout: Limited to niche participant groups, which may not provide the diverse feedback needed for comprehensive insights.

    Scalable solutions for every team

    • UserTesting seamlessly scales your research across your entire enterprise. From teams of one to multiple teams and extensive projects across an organization, UserTesting integrates seamlessly with your existing tools and workflows.
    • Dscout: Constrained to primarily smaller-scale studies, making it challenging to manage and scale research across large organizations.

    AI-powered insights, faster decisions

    • UserTesting leverages advanced AI to automate analysis and reporting, saving time and providing deeper insights. Features like AI Insight Summary, sentiment analysis, and friction detection pinpoint key trends quickly.

    Rapid, reliable feedback

    • UserTesting’s vast Network provides customers with timely insights with 80% of sessions completed within a few hours. Automated test distribution, notifications, and incentive payments streamline the process, enhancing efficiency.
