Questions people actually ask

Is the free tier actually free, or a trial?

Actually free. Research, question generation, the share link, and the full scored report cost nothing, with no time limit and no card required. Paying only changes who does the legwork of getting interviews, not what the report contains.

Why does the per-interview price vary?

It depends on how hard your audience is to reach. Interviews with general consumers start at $40. A narrow, highly technical or professional audience costs more to source, up to $180. You always see the exact rate and the itemised total before paying anything.

How long does a Fast Track round take?

One to two weeks from payment, depending on how many interviews you ordered and how specialised the audience is. Progress is visible on your dashboard the whole time rather than going quiet until the report lands.

What if the result says my idea is weak?

That is a working outcome, not a failure of the product. Validation is a loop: sharpen the idea and run another round, as many times as you need. Every past version stays readable, including the rounds that did not pass.

Do the interviews you run count differently from mine?

They are tracked separately so you can always tell which answers you gathered and which you paid for, but both feed the same pool and the same score. Every response, from either route, is screened for quality before it counts.

Can I pay for one idea without a subscription?

Yes. Fast Track is paid per round, per idea, not a recurring plan. Nothing starts until the payment clears, and the order is tied to the specific set of questions it was bought for.

A signal, not a guarantee

Paying for interviews buys better evidence, not certainty. A strong score means the problem looks real and worth solving on what we found. It cannot promise the business will work, and we would rather say that here, on the page where you are deciding whether to spend, than bury it somewhere quieter.
