What you get with Fiuto
Sign up, paste your product URL, and have the whole study running before a demo could be scheduled.
Eighteen methods, not one conversation
Card sort, tree test, first-click, five-second and preference test, click heatmaps, live site and prototype tasks, copy tests, surveys and open text. Eighteen method blocks, mixable in one study, on every plan including Free. Where people click, what they can find and which of two designs wins are tests, not interviews. AI interviews are coming to Fiuto too; they're in development.
A free plan today, no demo to book
Free needs no card and carries 1 live study a month, 10 responses per study, 600 AI credits and every method. Paid plans start at $29 a month, and you upgrade, downgrade or cancel yourself from the billing page. Listen Labs publishes no price and no free plan; the route in is a booked demo.
The whole study, run end to end
Fiuto drafts the study, sends up to five AI respondents through it first, recruits real people from Prolific's global panel if you want them, and reads the results back into findings, a readout and a deck. In the app, from your coding agent over MCP, or over the API. No research experience required.
Findings and a deck you can share with anyone
Share the study, its findings and its deck with as many collaborators as you like on every plan, including Free. Export the raw data as CSV or JSON, or pull it over the API or MCP. Your data is yours.

BoltWho fits which tool
Fiuto fits small teams that need answers this week
You're building the thing, you have a question you'd rather not guess at, and nobody on the team does research for a living. Fiuto runs the study end to end in hours, from the free plan.
Fiuto fits questions an interview can't answer
Where people click first, whether they can find a page in your navigation, which of two designs wins, what a headline communicates in five seconds. Those are tests, not conversations.
Choose Listen Labs if you're buying interviews at consumer scale through sales
You need hundreds of AI-moderated voice conversations across many markets at once, and your organisation buys that through a demo and a contract.
Choose Listen Labs if a research partner is what you want
You already run a research function and want a vendor relationship around it, rather than a tool you open yourself this morning.
Frequently asked questions
Is Fiuto a Listen Labs alternative?
Yes, for small teams that want the study drafted, run and analysed for them without a demo. Fiuto runs eighteen unmoderated methods on a free plan with the AI included, recruits from a global panel with no quote, and reads the results back into findings and a deck. AI interviews are in development.
Does Listen Labs have a free plan or a published price?
Neither, as of 10 September 2026. There is no pricing page on listenlabs.ai, and the calls to action are sign in and book a demo. Fiuto's free plan needs no card and runs 1 live study a month with every method and the AI included, and Core and Pro are $29 and $69 a month on the pricing page.
Does Fiuto run AI interviews?
AI interviews are an upcoming feature, in development now, and this page will list them the day they are out of alpha. Until then Fiuto runs unmoderated studies, with AI respondents first and real people after.
Do I need research experience to use Fiuto?
No. Paste your product's URL and Fiuto drafts a well crafted study around your product and your audience. You review it, change what you want and launch.
Can I run Fiuto from my coding agent?
Yes. The research assistant works in the app, over MCP from Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Lovable, v0, Replit and Bolt, and over the API, on every plan including Free.
Which methods does Fiuto support?
18 method blocks on every plan: prototype and live website tasks, first-click, click heatmap, five-second tests, preference and design feedback, card sort, tree test, matrix, ranking, rating scales, open text, and copy tests among them.
