PlaybookUX is an all-in-one research platform that lets teams recruit, conduct, and analyze both qualitative and quantitative research within a single tool. It replaces the need to juggle separate solutions for recruiting, testing, analysis, and repository management.
Built for researchers at companies of all sizes, the platform includes unmoderated testing, moderated interviews, card sorting, tree testing, surveys, five-second testing, first-click testing, and preference testing. AI is embedded across every stage and can be turned off when needed.
Researchers set up a study by selecting a method — unmoderated test, moderated interview, survey, card sort, or tree test — and configuring screening questions to target the right audience. They recruit from the built-in panel of 7 million participants or bring their own, then conduct sessions directly inside the platform.
After sessions, the analysis suite automatically generates highlight reels, heat maps, task summaries, and executive reports. Team members tag, search, and comment on findings within the repository, and can export or pull data into external tools via the API and MCP layer.
PlaybookUX is best suited for research teams that want an all-in-one solution covering recruiting, testing methods, AI analysis, and a living insights repository. The self-serve plan offers instant access with a 50-session annual limit on panel usage, while enterprise plans unlock unlimited sessions, SSO, custom contracts, and a dedicated success manager. The platform does not charge per seat and supports concurrent studies without restrictions.
Access to over 7 million vetted consumer and professional participants with nearly 90% of studies filling within a few hours.
Built-in support for unmoderated testing, moderated interviews, card sorting, tree testing, surveys, five-second testing, first-click testing, and preference testing.
AI asks smart follow-up questions during sessions to capture nuanced responses and additional data points researchers might have missed.
