When to choose each

Choose Outset if:

You run a UX, product, or cross-functional research team that needs high-volume async interviews quickly; speed and scale at the study level are the primary drivers; your program is project-based rather than continuous; and you need access to the broadest possible participant pool across geographies.

Choose Conveo if:

You run an enterprise consumer insights or CMI function where research needs to compound across studies; you need studies completed in days, not weeks, without sacrificing methodology standards; EU data hosting is a procurement requirement; methodological independence from panel providers matters; you manage research across multiple brands, markets, or structured study types; or you need every study to feed an institutional knowledge layer the whole organization can query.

The key difference

One study is a data point. A research program is a competitive advantage.

Outset is built for individual studies run fast. Conveo is built for programs where every study builds into a compounding knowledge base. Without a native cross-study library, Outset insights live in that study. In Conveo, every insight is also tagged to its source video clip so stakeholders verify findings directly. Conveo is video-first by design, EU-hosted for regulated industries, and independent of its panel partners.

"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.

Frequently asked questions.

Both platforms are enterprise-priced with custom plans based on research scope. Neither publishes a standard pricing page. Conveo is designed for teams running ongoing research programs; pricing reflects that model. Book a 15-minute call to discuss what a program looks like for your team.

Yes. Conveo offers regional data hosting, which is required by many enterprise procurement teams in Europe. Outset does not publicly confirm EU data hosting.

Conveo has a built-in insight library that stores, links, and compounds findings across studies. Teams do not need a separate repository tool to build institutional memory. Outset does not have a native cross-study library for compounding cross-study intelligence.

Conveo supports concept testing, in-depth interviews (IDIs), MaxDiff, segmentation studies, ad testing, and longitudinal tracking programs within one platform. Study structure and discussion guide design remain under full researcher control.

Conveo integrates 8+ professional panels, including Respondent, User Interviews, Norstat, Bilendi, Rakuten, and SAGO, and supports bring-your-own participants. Conveo deliberately does not sell recruitment services, keeping the platform independent from its panel partners. Outset provides integrated recruitment through panel partners with access to 1.1B+ participants across 85+ countries, and also supports BYOP.
