Conveo did something almost nobody else in this category has done: it put a live product demo on the open web. Any visitor can take an anonymous sample AI interview from the participant side, a fictional Ben & Jerry's concept test, and feel exactly what their participants would experience. That is the right instinct, and it builds more trust than any amount of marketing copy. The product underneath is credible too: voice and video interviews in more than 50 languages, a strong footprint in CPG and agency research, and an EU base with a clear GDPR focus.
The question is what happens after the sample interview convinces you.
After the demo, the path runs through a sales call
Once you finish Conveo's sample interview, there is no self-serve signup. Buying Conveo means a qualification form and a Cal.com demo call. Pricing is not published on their site; third parties report Enterprise contracts starting around $45,000 per year as of July 2026.
Neither of those facts is unusual for an enterprise research vendor, and they may be exactly right for the large CPG brands and agencies Conveo serves, where multi-market studies and managed relationships are the norm. But it does mean the live demo is the start of a sales process, not the start of a purchase you control. You can feel the product, but you cannot buy it, price it, or start a study on your own.
Try the researcher side, not just the participant side
Conveo's demo shows what a participant experiences. That is half the product. The other half, the half you will actually live in, is the researcher's side: framing the question, drafting the guide, screening, fielding, and turning sessions into findings.
User Evaluation puts that half in your hands from day one. Create a free account, with no credit card, describe a research question, and Eva, the AI research assistant, plans the study and drafts the discussion guide with you. The free plan lets you run the loop for real: 3 interviews with your own people on us, 3 hours of uploads a month, 50 questions to Eva a month, and 1 Swarm run a month. Free is $0 forever, not a trial window.
Between the two, the difference is what you are evaluating. Conveo shows you the interview. User Evaluation lets you run the whole job.
What User Evaluation does
User Evaluation is an AI research workspace where Eva, the AI assistant, runs the study with you end to end. It plans the research, drafts the discussion guide and screener, and recruits real people from your own list or from the User Evaluation participant pool. It then moderates voice interviews in real time, asking adaptive follow-ups the way a good human moderator would, in 40 languages, and it can show stimuli such as concepts, packaging, or screens mid-interview, which matters for the concept-testing work Conveo's own demo highlights.
After fielding, Eva transcribes and analyzes every session: themes, cited quotes, sentiment and emotion. Reports come with clickable citations that jump back to the exact moment in the source recording, so stakeholders can inspect the evidence instead of trusting a summary, and highlight clips make the strongest moments easy to share. A public API and MCP server expose the same loop for teams that want it inside their own tooling.
Two rules hold throughout. Real humans are the evidence; AI is the interviewer and analyst, never a stand-in for participants. And approval gates sit in front of anything consequential: nothing is published and no money is spent until you have seen the plan and the expected cost and said yes.
Pricing on the page
Every User Evaluation price is public. Pro is $49 per month, or $41 per month billed yearly, with unlimited studies, unlimited questions to Eva including deep research, 10 hours of uploads a month, 5 Swarm runs a month, and API and MCP access. Team is $199 per month, or $166 yearly, with 5 seats plus unlimited viewers, 50 hours of uploads, 25 Swarm runs, and client workspaces for agencies. Interviews are paid per completed interview, at the same all-in price on every plan: $10 with your own people, $39 with everyday people, and $99 with professionals. That covers the participant's payment, recruiting, the AI interviewer, recording, transcript, and a cited study report.
Set that against the reported starting point for Conveo and the comparison is less about features than about scale of commitment: tens of dollars per interview you approve, versus a five-figure annual contract you negotiate.
When Conveo is the better fit
Choose Conveo if you are a large CPG brand or agency running multi-market studies with an enterprise budget, if you need video interviews as well as voice, or if your studies span markets beyond the 40 languages User Evaluation covers; Conveo's 50+ languages are a real advantage there. An EU-based vendor with a strong GDPR posture can also simplify procurement for European organizations, and a managed, sales-supported relationship is genuinely useful when research programs span many teams and markets.
