Conveo vs

Strella

Both platforms run AI-moderated research interviews quickly. The difference is the team they are built for and the compliance infrastructure behind them.

The short version

Strella is a flexible AI research platform built for product, UX, and growth teams at tech and DTC companies. It supports AI or human moderation, provides access to a global participant pool, and effectively delivers qualitative insights to teams that wouldn't otherwise run them. For that audience, it delivers.

When to choose each

Choose

Strella

if:

You are a product, UX, or growth team at a tech or DTC company looking for fast, flexible qual research; the option to choose between AI and human moderation is important; mobile testing is part of your research workflow; and EU data hosting is not a procurement requirement.

Choose Conveo if:

You run an enterprise consumer insights or CMI function; EU data hosting is required for European procurement; your program includes structured study types like MaxDiff or concept testing; you need research to compound across studies into an institutional knowledge layer; or panel independence from platform incentives is a methodology requirement.

The key difference

Strella and Conveo are both built around speed. The difference is what research does afterward. Strella is designed for teams that need insights quickly and serves that use case well. Enterprise insights functions need compounding research. Conveo is built for that shift. Every participant is a real person on video. Every insight is tagged to its source video clip, allowing stakeholders to verify findings directly. Every study contributes to a growing knowledge base, regardless of commercial panel incentives.

"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 use AI to conduct interviews with dynamic follow-up questions, and both support video. The key difference is depth of integration. Strella also offers human moderation as an alternative to AI, supports screen and video recording, and gives teams flexibility in format. Conveo is video-native: every interview is a live AI-led video conversation, and every insight is tagged back to its source video clip so stakeholders can verify findings directly rather than reading a summary.
Strella's "Chat with your research" feature lets teams query insights across studies and generate video highlight reels from the results. Conveo's insight library is a compounding layer that builds institutional memory across every study the team runs, storing findings that are searchable, linkable, and reusable over time.
Conveo supports concept testing, in-depth interviews (IDIs), MaxDiff, segmentation studies, ad testing, and longitudinal tracking programs within a single platform, with full researcher control over study structure and discussion guide design.
Conveo sources participants through 8+ integrated panel partners and supports bringing your own participants. Conveo deliberately does not sell recruitment services, keeping the platform independent from its panel partners. Strella provides access to a global participant pool (3M–8M, depending on which page of their site is cited) and also supports BYOP.
