Fantastic experience, highly recommend!

The platform is really easy to use and very intuitive to navigate. The tech support is readily available so anytime a respondent drops off they're there to get them back right away.

Amazing platform

I really liked the ability to search through all the transcripts within the platform. This helped me analyze the findings quicker without compromising quality. This platform is easy to use and a real hit with our clients.

Best MR platform out there today

What I like best about Discuss.io is how intuitive it is. Feels like they've thought of everything - and it's very obvious that ti's been designed by and for researchers.

Discuss.io is the perfect one-stop-shop!

I like how easy and accessible the platform is for everyone (our research team + the clients). In addition, the team that backs it is exceptional. The level of service is far and away better than other platforms claiming to do the same.
