What you get with Fiuto
The four differences that change what you can do this afternoon, not a feature checklist.
Does Fiuto run card sorts and first-click tests, or only interviews?
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 in all, mixable in one study, on every plan including Free. A scale or a ranking asked inside a conversation is still a conversation. Where someone clicks first, and whether they can find a page in your navigation, only a test answers.
Can I run a real study today without talking to anyone?
Yes, and the AI comes with it. The free plan needs no card and carries 1 live study a month, 10 responses per study, 600 AI credits a month, and every one of the eighteen methods. There is no quote to wait for, no demo to sit through, and no minimum to commit to. 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 need to be a researcher to use Fiuto?
Research does not have to be your job. Fiuto does not assume a research team, a research calendar, or someone whose title says research, and it still works when all three are true. Say what you need to learn, review what Fiuto drafts, and turn your Lovable, Replit, v0, Bolt, Claude Code, Codex or Cursor prototype into a real-user test.
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 the week you have, not the quarter
You want the study live this afternoon and the answer back before the decision is made. Nothing between you and the first run: no scoping call, no quote, no minimum commitment.
Choose Voicepanel if you are buying consumer scale
You need thousands of people across many markets on one study, in voice and video, and a panel that can reach them. That is the shape its pricing page is built around, and a card on file will not get you there.
Choose Voicepanel if you would rather hand the project over
You have a question and no time to run the study yourself, and you would rather brief someone and get a finished report back. Its Agent plan is described as an ad-hoc engagement for exactly that.
Frequently asked questions
01Is Fiuto a Voicepanel alternative?
It depends on the question you are asking. For AI-moderated voice and video conversations at consumer scale, Voicepanel is the specialist and Fiuto does not compete. For everything unmoderated, where people click, what they can find, which design or headline wins, Fiuto runs eighteen methods Voicepanel does not publish, on a free plan with the AI included and no quote to wait for.
02Does Voicepanel publish its pricing?
No figure, as of 11 September 2026. Its pricing page lists two ways to work together, Agent and Enterprise, whose calls to action are get a quote and get a demo, and its FAQ says pricing is tailored to each customer based on needs, team size and expected usage. Fiuto publishes everything: Free with no card, Core $29 and Pro $69 a month, and US$7.00 per respondent on the 5-minute band.
03Does Voicepanel have an MCP server?
Yes. Its pricing page lists an MCP server and a REST API in its Enterprise controls section, in the Enterprise column. Fiuto's MCP creates, launches and reads back studies from seven coding agents, on every plan including Free.
04Does Fiuto have an AI moderator?
No. Voicepanel runs AI conversations and Fiuto does not moderate at all. Fiuto runs unmoderated studies, and sends AI respondents through the study first so you get a read in minutes and catch a bad task before real people see it. If a live AI interviewer is the thing you need, Voicepanel is the better tool.
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. You can also share the study link with your own users at no cost.
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.
