What you get with Fiuto
A free plan you keep, a study run end to end for you, and a deck to show for it.
Eighteen methods for behaviour, not only for reasoning
Watching someone use a screen and talk about it is one method. Measuring where a hundred people click first, or whether they can find a page in your navigation, is a different one. Card sort, tree test, first-click, five-second and preference test, click heatmaps, live site and prototype tasks, copy tests, surveys and open text, on every plan including Free. AI interviews are in development too.
A free plan that renews, not a handful of free sessions
Every month on Free you get 1 live study, 10 responses per study, 600 AI credits and every method, with no card and no expiry. AI is metered by credits and never gated by tier, so the assistant works on Free exactly as on Pro. Core and Pro are $29 and $69 a month when a month's allowance stops being enough, and you change or cancel from the billing page.
The whole study, run for you, simply
Paste your URL and say what you need to learn. Fiuto drafts the study, sends AI respondents and AI experts through it first, recruits real people from Prolific's global panel if you want them, and reads the results back. 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 everyone
Fiuto turns the results into findings, a readout and a deck, and you share them with as many collaborators as you like on every plan. Your data is yours: raw CSV and JSON export, a per-study API token and MCP on Free.

BoltWho fits which tool
Fiuto fits small teams that want research every month, not once
You have a new question every sprint and no budget line for research. The free plan renews, the study is drafted for you, and the findings land in a deck in hours.
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 User Intuition if a $2,499-a-month interview programme is what you're buying
You run a hundred AI-moderated interviews a month, in many languages, with a budget and a minimum term to match. AI interviews are an upcoming Fiuto feature.
Choose User Intuition if you want to drive a large tool surface from your agent
You're happy to work through dozens of MCP tools rather than one assistant, and depth on why is the only question you have.
