Respondent alternatives: who runs the interview?
Seven alternatives to Respondent, compared on recruiting, moderation, analysis and fit
A comparison of seven alternatives to Respondent for 2026: Koji, User Interviews, Prolific, Dscout, UserTesting, UXtweak and Askable. Each row shows the main strength, whether the tool runs the interview itself, whether analysis is built in, and which team it suits. Use it to decide whether you need a bigger panel or a tool that also runs and analyses the research, which is where Koji fits.
