User Interviews review
A strong fit for teams that buy targeted participant recruitment per session.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
UserInterviews is a participant recruitment and research operations platform for product, UX, and market researchers. Its Recruit offering provides access to a proprietary research panel, with tools for participant targeting, screening, segmentation, scheduling, reminders, and incentive distribution. Teams can run moderated or unmoderated usability research, including prototype and mobile-app studies, while Research Hub supports management of a team's own participant panels. It is best suited to organizations that want recruitment operations and research execution connected in one workflow.
Pricing is organized around recruiting volume and operating model. Pay As You Go costs $49 per session and includes flexible session volume, research panel access, targeting and screening, scheduling automation, incentive distribution, and AI insights and analysis. Essential costs $36 per session with annual billing and includes 60 or 150 sessions, quota automation, re-inviting past participants, and customer success support. Custom starts at 250 sessions with custom rates, negotiable contract terms, and prioritized project support. Research Hub Workflow starts at 3 seats, while Research Hub CRM starts at 1,000 contacts; their capabilities focus on screener surveys, panel management, dynamic segments, invite rules and limits, APIs, and data integrations.
The platform fits teams that need more than a standalone testing environment because it connects recruitment with tools such as Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, UserTesting, Maze, Sprig, Lookback, Loop11, Qualtrics, SurveyMonkey, Typeform, Salesforce, Zapier, and Census. AI-assisted insights and analysis add support after sessions are complete. Choose UserInterviews when participant sourcing, study coordination, and incentive handling are central requirements. Teams seeking a free evaluation path or a smaller, purely testing-focused tool may find its paid, session-oriented structure less suitable.
