Research stopped being a six-week project
That trade-off is why most teams skip it. Recruiting takes a fortnight, sessions take another, and by the time the deck lands the decision has already been made in a meeting. Maze collapses that: recruit from a panel of six million participants or prompt people inside your own product, run prototype tests, surveys, card sorts or moderated interviews, and get the analysis and the video clips back without transcribing anything yourself. HQO source user feedback in one to two days. Homebase cut annual research costs by around 75%. Adobe, Mastercard, Revolut, Toyota and adidas run research on it.
What is it:
A user research platform that recruits participants, runs the study, and summarises what people actually did with your product.
Who is it for:
Product, design and research teams who have to decide this week and cannot wait a month for evidence.
Alternative to:
UserTesting, Lookback, Dovetail, Optimal Workshop, PlaybookUX, or showing it to three colleagues and calling that validation.
Why we like it:
We like Maze because recruiting and analysis sit in one place, so a question asked on Monday has an answer by Wednesday.
