Reference table
Free viewer access in research tools, compared
Which research tools let stakeholders read findings without a paid seat, and on which plans, as of November 2026
A comparison of free read-only access for stakeholders in five research tools, based on each vendor's own pricing or help pages in November 2026 and third-party listings where no public page exists. It shows whether readers are free, which plans include them and what they can open. Use it to check before you buy seats for people who only read research. In Koji, viewers can be invited on every plan and never take a seat.
