What you get with Fiuto
Built for the team that needs the answer this week, not the one with a procurement cycle.

Free needs no card and carries 1 live study a month, 10 responses per study, 600 AI credits and all eighteen methods. Core is $29 a month and Pro is $69, on the pricing page. UserTesting's plans page offers three editions and a request-pricing button.
Speed for small teams
Paste your URL, say what you need to learn, and review the study Fiuto drafts. AI respondents give you a first read in minutes. Real people from Prolific's global panel answer within hours, priced per response with no quote. The findings and the deck arrive the same day.
The assistant in the app, in your coding agent, and over the API, on every plan
Fiuto's MCP creates, launches and reads back studies from Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Lovable, v0, Replit and Bolt, on every plan including Free, today. UserTesting's MCP is in limited early access for select teams, behind a demo request.
No research experience required
Fiuto doesn't assume a research team or a research calendar. It drafts the study around your product and your audience, tests it with AI respondents and AI experts, and reads the results back into findings you can share with as many collaborators as you like.
