When to choose each

Choose Bolt Insight if:

You want an AI research platform paired with an embedded team of researchers who co-design studies and interpret findings; qual, quant, and social listening in one connected system is a priority; or you operate in a regulated industry where expert-led methodology support matters.

Choose Conveo if:

Your team wants to own study design and execution directly; recruitment across 8+ professional panels needs to be built into the platform itself; research needs to compound into an institutional knowledge layer your team controls; or you need video-first interviews for stakeholder-facing evidence.

The key difference

Bolt Insight pairs its platform with an 85+-person research team, so studies are co-designed alongside in-house researchers rather than run on a self-serve basis. For teams wanting that support built in, it is a real strength.

Conveo is platform-first: your team owns and runs research directly, with expertise embedded in the product and a research team available to support, not run studies. Every interview is a live video conversation, and every study feeds a knowledge base that compounds over time.

"Research across multiple business units, run materially faster while meeting a global insights function's standards."

"Video-first approach is a real differentiating methodological advantage."

Conveo helps us go deep on projects we couldn’t even run otherwise with time and budget constraints.

Real human understanding, without the trade-off.

Fast insight is useless without depth. Deep insight is useless if it slows you down. Conveo goes beyond words, capturing emotion, behavior, and context others miss. The full story, delivered in days.
