Who is Maze for?

Its listed roles include researchers, designers and product managers. Audience source

What can it do?

• Recruit participants through a panel or an existing community. Source
• Run prototype tests, interviews, surveys and live website studies. Source
• Review automated reports, clips and research findings. Source

These are vendor-described capabilities. Availability, usage limits and permissions can vary by plan; a listed feature is not a guarantee of fit for your workflow.

How to check pricing

Use Maze’s official pricing page for current plans. This profile does not quote a price or assume that every listed capability is included in the lowest-cost plan.

Compare the same workload: required users, external collaborators, usage allowances, billing interval and add-ons. Write down the total for your intended setup and the date checked. A monthly equivalent billed annually is not the same commitment as a cancel-any-month plan.

Questions to test before choosing Maze

Use these Night Watcher evaluation prompts in a small pilot. They are research questions, not claims that the product has a particular limitation.

1. Do participants match the audience that will use the product? Validate the screener with real inclusion and exclusion examples.
2. Can someone complete the test without hints from the task wording? Pilot the study before recruiting the full sample.
3. Does the prototype contain enough behavior to answer the research question? Separate prototype limitations from usability findings.
4. How will you verify an automatically generated theme? Compare the report with a sample of original sessions, including unsuccessful attempts.
