Paste a URL and Fiuto takes it from there. No research experience needed.
What you get with Fiuto
Everything you need to run a study this afternoon, with nobody to call first.
A price on the page and a plan you can change yourself
Free needs no card. Core is $29 a month and Pro is $69, flat per account. You upgrade, downgrade or cancel from the billing page in the app. There's no Enterprise conversation standing between you and the next tier.
An MCP that creates and launches studies, not one that only reads them
Fiuto's research assistant works in the app, in your coding agent over MCP, and over the API. From Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Lovable, v0, Replit or Bolt it can create a study, launch it and read the results back, on every plan including Free. Maze's MCP brings findings into your AI tools; its own page describes reading insights, not creating or launching.
AI respondents and AI experts before real people, on every plan
Up to five AI respondents work through your study first, so you get a read in minutes and catch a bad task before anyone real sees it. Up to two of them can be experts in conversion, usability, copy or SEO. Maze's AI Study Builder, AI Moderator and analysis suite are all tagged Enterprise on its pricing page.
Findings and a deck you can share with everyone
Fiuto reads the results back into findings, a readout and a deck, and you share them with as many collaborators as you like. Your data stays yours: raw CSV and JSON export, a per-study API token and MCP access come with every plan.

BoltWho fits which tool
Fiuto fits small teams that need the answer this week
You'd rather review a drafted study than build one, run it in hours, and have the findings in a deck before the decision is made. No research experience needed and no one to call.
Fiuto fits people who build in a coding agent
You work in Claude Code, Cursor, Lovable or v0 and want the study created, launched and read back from there, on the free plan, today.
Choose Maze if you're buying an Enterprise contract
Your organisation procures research tooling through sales, with a budget cycle and a security review, and a self-serve plan wouldn't get through that process.
Choose Maze if AI-moderated interviews are the whole job today
You need interviews moderated by AI now, at scale, inside one platform, and you are buying its Enterprise plan to get them. AI interviews are an upcoming Fiuto feature.
