Inform decisions with qualitative and quantitative insights from any channel

Combines unmoderated and moderated studies to deliver qualitative and quantitative insights across discovery, validation, design, development, and launch—giving UX, PM, and Marketing teams the full picture. 

No support for mobile app testing and website testing requires code. Not optimized for insights outside of UX iterations. 

Share and scale insights  

Insights Hub centralizes and organizes customer feedback, making it easy to discover, share, and act on key insights across your organization. Scalable workflows with a user-friendly interface, approval flows, and user-level controls. 

Centralized sharing of feedback is limited and AI search is not supported. Immature scaling capabilities.

Recruit quality global participants on demand

On-demand access to pre-vetted native participant network, with 85%+ of sessions receiving 4 or 5 star ratings. Professional services available for niche audience recruitment. 

No audience recruitment services offered. Relies on third-party sources of varying quality or recruit-your-own audiences which can add unexpected costs and weeks or months to lead time. 

Get contextual human feedback 

Captures real emotions, behaviors, and decision-making processes with video feedback and environmental experience capture using the rear-facing camera.  

Focused on clicks and task completion tracking. Limited support for videos and emotional capture. 

Quantify findings 

Goes beyond surveys and click data with intent paths, survey theme counts, card sorting, tree testing, A/B testing, and QXscore benchmarking. Provides the full picture for smarter, data-driven decisions.

Supports surveys, click data, heat maps and A/B testing to measure tasks and interactions. Lacks dimensionality and context, making it difficult to determine how to take action on the results. 

Accelerate analysis with AI

Much more advanced and robust AI innovations across analysis, recruitment, and search, reducing up to 75% of manual work and speeding up every stage of the research cycle. Patented data pipeline uniquely processes text, video, and behavioral to surface hidden insights. 

Limited AI-generated analysis mostly based on transcript data. 

Speed time to insights 

Over 80% of feedback return in a few hours. Built-in participant network, AI analysis, templates, saved audiences, and expert services deliver fast feedback that keep up with development cycles. 

Turnaround time varies by study type and recruitment method, recruit-your-own testers add weeks or months to test cycles. 

Get service and guidance from domain experts 

Professional services from our research experts to meet on-demand testing needs, recruit niche audiences, and act as an extension of your team.  

No professional services offering.
