Comparison
Recruit-only vs full-stack research platforms
A side-by-side comparison of two kinds of research platform. Recruit-only panels such as Respondent, Prolific and CleverX find a qualified participant and stop there, so the team still pays for a call tool, a notetaker, transcription, a repository and the synthesis time. A full-stack, AI-native platform covers the whole job: it recruits, moderates, transcribes, analyzes and reports. Koji works this way, recruiting from your own users or its panel and running the AI-moderated interview.
