What you get with Fiuto
The four differences that change what you can do this afternoon, not a feature checklist.
Can Fiuto measure where people click and what a page says in five seconds?
Yes, and those are the methods a question list cannot cover. First-click, five-second tests, preference tests, click heatmaps and copy tests sit beside card sort, tree test, matrix, ranking, rating scales, open text and live site and prototype tasks. Eighteen method blocks in all, mixable in one study, on every plan including Free. Asking someone where they would click is not the same measurement as watching where they do.
Can I keep using Fiuto for free after the first two weeks?
Yes, and it needs no card at any point. The free plan is not a trial: 1 live study a month, 10 responses per study, 600 AI credits a month, and every one of the eighteen methods, renewing every month for as long as you want it. AI is metered by credits and never gated by tier, so the assistant that drafts your study works on Free exactly as it works on Pro. Paid plans start at $29 a month when you outgrow it.
Do I pay for each person on my team?
No. Price is per account, never per seat. Share a study, its results, its readout or its deck with as many people as you like on every plan including Free, and add unlimited editors from Core. Nobody has to decide who gets an editor licence this month, and nobody gets locked out of the study they need to read.
What does Fiuto charge per respondent?
A published participant price. US$7.00 per respondent on the 5-minute band, US$14.00 on 12 minutes, US$21.00 on 20, ordered from the launch page and paid per order outside your AI credits. A reserve covers screen-outs, and whatever it does not use is refunded to the original payment method when the run settles. You know what a run of real people costs before you start it.

BoltWho fits which tool
Fiuto fits people for whom research is not the job
You are building the thing and you have a question about it you would rather not guess at. Fiuto writes the study, runs it, and hands back findings, and it still serves you when research is your job.
Fiuto fits a team that keeps growing
New people keep needing to read the findings, and you do not want to think about who has a licence this month. Everyone reads everything on every plan, and the bill does not move when someone joins.
Choose Versive if you want AI users to drive a real browser
You want a simulated user to open your live site, attempt a task and hand back a step-by-step action log with screenshots, before you spend anything on recruiting real people.
Choose Versive if you need a long questionnaire in one pass
Your study runs to forty questions with branching and quotas, and you would rather keep the whole instrument in one tool than split it across two.
Frequently asked questions
01Is Fiuto a Versive alternative?
For a lot of questions, yes, and the split is narrower than with most tools on this list. Both run AI respondents and real people, both have an MCP server, and both publish their prices. Fiuto adds the measurement methods Versive does not publish, first-click, five-second tests, preference tests and click heatmaps, plus a free plan that renews every month with no card and no seats to count.
02Does Versive have a free plan?
A 14-day trial, not a free plan, as of 11 September 2026. Its pricing FAQ says the trial gives full access to Team plan features, that you add a payment method to begin, and that you are charged when it ends unless you cancel. Fiuto's free plan needs no card at any point and renews every month: 1 live study, 10 responses per study, 600 AI credits and all eighteen methods.
03How does Versive's pricing compare with Fiuto's?
Versive publishes Pro at $99 a month billed annually or $149 monthly, Team at $279 annually or $399 monthly, and Enterprise as custom, with 2 editor seats on Pro and 5 on Team. Fiuto publishes Free with no card, Core at $29 a month and Pro at $69, flat per account with unlimited editors from Core and unlimited viewers on every plan.
04Does Versive have an MCP server?
Yes. Its documentation publishes an MCP server with a tool catalogue, required scopes and a public capability manifest, and its pricing page lists API access and custom integrations under Enterprise. Fiuto's MCP creates, launches and reads back studies from seven coding agents on every plan including Free.
05What does it cost to recruit participants on Fiuto?
US$7.00 per respondent on the 5-minute band, US$14.00 on 12 minutes, and US$21.00 on 20, ordered from the launch page and paid per order outside your AI credits. A reserve covers screen-outs, and whatever the order does not use is refunded to the original payment method when the run settles. Versive's pricing FAQ says recruiting is not covered by credits and is paid as you go, without a figure.
06Do I need research experience to use Fiuto?
No. Paste your URL and say what you need to learn. Fiuto writes the study, runs it with AI respondents, recruits real people if you want them, and reads the results back into findings and a deck. You review each step before it launches, and it serves the researcher just as well.
07Which 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.
