Note from the User Intuition Team

Your research informs million-dollar decisions — we built User Intuition so you never have to choose between rigor and affordability. We price at $20/interview not because the research is worth less, but because we want to enable you to run studies continuously, not once a year. Ongoing research compounds into a competitive moat that episodic studies can never build.

Don't take our word for it — see an actual study output before you spend a dollar. No other platform in this industry lets you evaluate the work before you buy it. Already convinced? Sign up and try today with 3 free interviews.

Sources: published pricing pages, G2 user-reported ranges, and 2026 RFP responses. TCO note: UserInterviews provides recruitment only — total cost of ownership requires adding a separate moderation tool ($800–$2,000/study for traditional moderators or $300+/study for AI moderation), making the comparable 20-interview spend $1,800–$5,000+ all-in versus User Intuition's $400 (Pro) all-in for recruitment + AI moderation + Intelligence Hub.
