No extensions or plugins means hassle-free research

We do not use any extensions or plug-ins, which means testers can easily participate. Testers can participate via their browser or by using the User Sense app.

2 - Conduct sessions via our platform

Conduct sessions through the platform. Choose to have testers participate without recordings or choose sessions with recordings to obtain additional qualitative feedback.

Using the card sorting analysis module, you quickly go from raw data to concrete insights to improve the user experience. You can also choose to export test metrics or responses to questionnaires.

Tester recruitment across Europe

We can help you to recruit testers across Europe. Our strongest markets are the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany and the UK. However, we also facilitate the recruitment of testers in other European markets.

The quality of any study is dependent on the quality of the testers. We get this. This is why we have implemented various quality control mechanisms and a detailed quality assurance policy.

By creating a private pool you make sure that the testers you invite will not be invited for any other projects via our platform. Invite or delete testers at any point in time and maintain full control over customer data.

To avoid any confusion, we have detailed and localized instructions available that can be sent over to your testers.
