Product overview

Why “Consumer Intelligence” and “automated research” matter

Traditional advanced research usually meant briefing an agency, waiting for a proposal, then waiting again for questionnaire design, programming, fielding, and analysis—often weeks per project, with high cost and limited ability to iterate. Many marketing teams either skipped advanced methods (conjoint, segmentation, implicit) or ran them rarely because of budget and time. Quantilope’s premise is that automation and AI can compress that timeline and lower the cost while keeping the methodology sound. The result is a Consumer Intelligence Platform: one place to design studies, reach consumers (via 300M+ panel or your own sample), run 15 automated methods, and get real-time dashboards and reports with an AI co-pilot (quinn) built in. That’s why the company talks about “high quality research at the pace of your business” and “activating and monitoring brand growth”—the goal is to make insight a continuous capability, not a once-a-year project.

What Quantilope is

Quantilope is an AI-powered Consumer Intelligence Platform that automates the full market research workflow: study design, questionnaire programming, sample sourcing, data collection, analysis, and reporting. Instead of hiring consultants or agencies for conjoint analysis, segmentation, or brand tracking, teams use pre-built, fully automated methodologies and the integrated AI co-pilot quinn to design studies, generate charts, and build reports. The platform delivers insights in less than one second after survey responses and supports both one-off (ad-hoc) and ongoing tracking studies. According to Quantilope, clients make 80% more consumer-driven decisions thanks to the combination of automation and AI.

Who it’s for

Quantilope targets marketing teams, insights teams, product managers, and brand leaders who need sophisticated research—feature and pricing optimization, segment identification, brand health, concept and creative testing—but may not have dedicated statisticians or large agency budgets. Use cases include advertising testing, branding and positioning, packaging and pricing research, shelf optimization, product portfolio decisions, and brand or ad tracking. The platform is used by 200+ clients globally across CPG, retail, technology, media, travel, and automotive, including Nestlé, Unilever, Samsung, Oatly, Zurich Insurance, L’Oréal, PepsiCo, Danone, Estée Lauder, and Dyson. Public client logos and testimonials emphasize both “insights that executives trust” (MoneyGram) and “a partner that pushes my thinking” (Organic Valley)—so the product is positioned for teams that want both self-serve power and strategic support. Typical workflows include: running a conjoint study to optimize a new product configuration, fielding a segmentation to define personas and targeting, launching a brand or ad tracker with real-time dashboards, or testing concepts and copy with A/B or pre-roll methods. The common thread is the need for statistically robust, repeatable research at business speed, without handing every project to an agency.

Development and market position

Quantilope was founded in 2014 in Hamburg, Germany, and expanded to the US in 2019 after a Series A round. In January 2024 the company closed a $28 million Series B (total funding approximately $40 million), led by Digital+ Partners with participation from Dawn Capital, Senovo, and Surplus. US-based client count grew by over 450% in the year leading up to that round. The platform has access to 300M+ consumers worldwide through a trusted panel network and operates in a panel-agnostic way—users can also use other panel providers or their own respondent lists. In 2025, Quantilope was again ranked #1 Market Research Technology in Greenbook’s GRIT Business and Innovation Report, with innovations such as quinn, the CEP (Category Entry Point) Generator, AI Probing for open-ended feedback, and quantilabs (an innovation hub for early-stage AI features) cited as differentiators.

The 2025 GRIT Report itself highlighted a broader industry shift: technology suppliers are pulling ahead while service-led firms face pressure from automation and AI. GenAI is moving from experimentation into core workflows, and technology providers like Quantilope report higher satisfaction among users than buyers who are still navigating the transition. That context makes Quantilope’s positioning—automation first, with AI embedded in the research process—relevant for any team rethinking how they run consumer insight.

Functionality in depth

Core capabilities

Quantilope’s strength is making advanced research methods accessible without PhD-level expertise. Every method is fully automated: you configure the study, the platform handles design, data collection, and analysis, and you get dashboards and reports with significance testing and clear visualizations.

Choice-Based Conjoint (CBC)

Conjoint analysis measures how consumers trade off product attributes and what they’re willing to pay. Quantilope’s CBC is drag-and-drop: you add the method to your survey, set parameters, and get real-time results plus an intuitive market simulator that mimics shopping scenarios and helps identify optimal pricing and feature combinations. Conjoint is available on the Enterprise plan.

Segmentation

Need-based segmentation clusters consumers into actionable groups using machine learning. You get typically 3–7 segments with clear profiles, sizes, and behaviors, so you can target campaigns and positioning. The automated workflow removes much of the statistical complexity and delivers results faster than traditional segmentation projects. Segmentation is included in Enterprise.

MaxDiff (Maximum Difference Scaling)

MaxDiff identifies which attributes or benefits matter most (and least) to respondents. It’s used for feature prioritization, messaging, and positioning. Quantilope offers both count-based and HB (hierarchical Bayes) MaxDiff; the platform builds the exercise and runs the analysis automatically.

TURF (Total Unduplicated Reach and Frequency)

TURF helps optimize assortments—e.g., which product variants or messages maximize reach. You define the set of items and the platform computes reach and frequency so you can choose the best subset.

Price Sensitivity Meter (PSM)

PSM explores acceptable price ranges and optimal price points. It’s useful for pricing research and packaging without running full conjoint.

Key Driver Analysis

This method uncovers which factors drive an outcome (e.g., satisfaction or purchase intent). Results show which levers have the biggest impact so you can focus improvements.

Penalty–Reward Analysis

It separates “must-haves” (penalties when missing) from “delighters” (rewards when present), helping prioritize what to fix first and what to invest in for differentiation.

A/B Test and A/B Pre-Roll Test

Quantilope supports automated A/B tests for concepts, copy, or creative, including pre-roll setups, with significance testing and clear readouts.

Mental Availability and Mental Advantage

These tracking-oriented methods align with the Ehrenberg-Bass framework: which brands come to mind in a category (Mental Availability) and how they perform on key dimensions (Mental Advantage). They’re part of Quantilope’s Better Brand Health Tracking offer.

Implicit methods (MIAT, SIAT)

Multi and Single Implicit Association Tests capture subconscious associations (e.g., brand–attribute links) without asking direct questions. They’re available on Pro and above.

Qualitative: inColor

inColor adds a qualitative layer—e.g., open-ended or deeper feedback—within the platform. Available on Pro and above.

NPS® and satisfaction

The platform supports NPS and satisfaction tracking as part of CI Tracking (e.g., Satisfaction Tracking, trend tracking). You can run standalone NPS studies or embed NPS in larger tracking programs; results benefit from the same real-time dashboards and quinn support as other methods.

All of the above are presented with automated significance testing, automated charting, automated data cleaning, and live updates so that as data comes in, dashboards and reports stay current. The platform also offers research templates and a typing tool to speed up questionnaire setup. For teams that have never run a conjoint or MaxDiff before, the combination of pre-built methods and quinn means you can go from a business question to a fielded study and then to a report without leaving the platform or hiring a specialist. That end-to-end automation is what reduces timelines from weeks (typical for agency projects) to days or even same-day readouts for some studies.

AI and automation: quinn, CEP Generator, and quantilabs

quinn (AI co-pilot)

Every Quantilope plan includes quinn, an AI research partner integrated into the platform. You can:

• Create surveys — Ask quinn to generate question attributes, need statements for MaxDiff, or dynamic elements for implicit tests, cutting down programming time.
• Turn data into charts — Describe the insight you want (e.g., “What is the impact of product attributes on purchase likelihood?”); quinn generates the right charts from your data.
• Build reports — Request a research question and quinn assembles relevant charts into one report that you can edit and share.
• Get guidance — Ask about sub-groups, exports, advanced method interpretation, or platform how-tos; quinn responds with explanations and can create charts for your report.

This end-to-end support helps researchers and non-specialists alike move from question to answer faster.

CEP Generator

Quantilope’s Category Entry Point (CEP) Generator is an AI-driven tool that helps identify and curate Category Entry Points—the reasons or situations that trigger consumers to enter a category (e.g., “need a quick breakfast” or “looking for a healthy snack”). Understanding CEPs supports brand growth strategy and messaging. The CEP Generator is one of the innovations highlighted in Quantilope’s 2025 GRIT positioning.

AI Probing

The platform uses AI to analyze open-ended responses and suggest or automate follow-up probing, improving depth of qualitative insight without manual tagging alone.

quantilabs

quantilabs is Quantilope’s innovation hub where selected clients can access and test new AI and product developments before general release. It reflects the company’s focus on staying ahead in automation and AI for insights.

Solutions by use case

Quantilope organizes its offer around solutions that map to common business questions. These sit on top of the method set and help you choose the right study type and template:

• Advertising — Ad and creative testing (e.g., A/B, pre-roll), ad tracking, and campaign impact on brand metrics.
• Branding — Brand health, positioning, and awareness; often using Mental Availability, Mental Advantage, and the CEP framework.
• Category exploration — Understanding how consumers enter and navigate a category; supports portfolio and innovation strategy.
• Claims — Testing product or advertising claims for clarity and believability.
• Concepts — Concept testing for new products, services, or messaging.
• Competitive landscape — Competitive benchmarking and brand tracking.
• Consumer segmentation — Need-based and behavioral segmentation for targeting and positioning.
• Packaging — Packaging design and preference research.
• Pricing — Pricing research and optimization (PSM, conjoint).
• Product portfolio — Portfolio optimization and line extensions.
• Shelf optimization — Assortment and shelf layout (e.g., TURF).
• Tracking — Ad tracking, brand tracking, product launch tracking, satisfaction tracking, trend tracking (all under CI Tracking).

Whether you run one-off studies or ongoing trackers, the platform’s research support and quinn can help you select the right method and solution so you don’t have to be a methodologist to get started. The solutions also map to the way Quantilope sells and supports: when you request a demo, the team will typically ask about your top use cases (e.g., pricing, branding, tracking), and the solution set gives a common language for scoping which methods and templates you’ll use first. That makes it easier to align internal stakeholders (e.g., brand, product, pricing) around a single platform instead of ad-hoc agency projects per department.

Tracking: CI Tracking and Better Brand Health Tracking

Quantilope’s CI Tracking is a fully automated approach to tracking research. Whether you run Better Brand Health Tracking, Ad Tracking, Trend Tracking, Product Launch Tracking, or Satisfaction Tracking, you get:

• Real-time access — Results update as data comes in; no waiting for batch processing.
• Always-on quinn — Survey input suggestions, chart headlines, report summaries.
• Automated significance testing and real-time collaboration — Changes to studies, reports, or dashboards are reflected immediately for all users.

Better Brand Health Tracking is built on Ehrenberg-Bass principles: Category Entry Points (why consumers enter the category) and Mental Availability (brands that come to mind when they’re shopping). This aligns with Quantilope’s CEP Generator and positions the platform for growth-oriented brand strategy.

Integrations and ecosystem

API and exports PowerPoint export and API integration are available on the Enterprise plan. API access allows automation and connection to other systems (e.g., dashboards, data warehouses). Pro and Business users rely on in-platform reporting, exports, and research support. Panel and sample

Quantilope provides access to 300M+ consumers through its panel network. The platform is panel-agnostic: you can use Quantilope’s panels, bring your own panel provider, or use your own respondent lists. All plans include panel services and professional services, so study design and execution support are part of the offer.

Security

Business and Pro include standard platform security; Enterprise adds SSO (single sign-on) and enhanced security (MFA). A Pre-Survey Defense security module is available to protect survey integrity. For regulated industries or global deployments, the panel-agnostic model also lets you restrict sample to specific providers or your own lists, which can help with compliance and data residency requirements. Quantilope’s public materials reference ISO and GRIT recognition; for detailed compliance (e.g., GDPR, SOC 2), enterprise buyers should confirm with the team at quote stage.

Pricing

Quantilope’s pricing is tiered by users, methods, and features. As of 2026, the following structure is consistent with the company’s public pricing page; exact numbers for Pro and Enterprise require a quote. The company’s tagline—“high quality research at the pace of your business”—is reflected in the offer: you pay for platform access and capacity (users, methods, credits), and you get research support, panel services, and professional services on every plan, so you’re not left to figure out advanced methods alone. All plans also include full platform access, quinn, research support, panel services, and professional services; the main differentiators by tier are user count, which methods are unlocked (e.g., Conjoint and Segmentation only on Enterprise), and enterprise features (API, SSO, PowerPoint export).

Business

• Price: From $22,000 per year (pricing as of Quantilope’s public pricing page; confirm with sales for current figures).
• Users: 3.
• Includes: Full access to the AI-native platform, multiple AI-driven analysis and charting features, integrated AI co-pilot quinn, and access to a subset of advanced methods and tracking (e.g., MaxDiff, TURF, PSM, A/B Test, Key Driver, Penalty–Reward, and tracking methods such as Mental Availability and Mental Advantage; Conjoint and Segmentation are not included—those are Enterprise). Research support, panel services, and professional services are included. This tier is aimed at teams that are “starting to automate their growth journey” and don’t yet need full Conjoint/Segmentation or API/SSO.

Pro

• Price: Contact sales (custom).
• Users: 5.
• Includes: Everything in Business, plus access to a broader subset of advanced methods and tracking, implicit methods (e.g., MIAT, SIAT), qualitative methods (e.g., inColor), and multi-language study support. Pro is positioned for teams that “want to accelerate their brand growth holistically” and need implicit or qualitative depth, or multi-market studies, without yet needing Conjoint, Segmentation, or API.

Enterprise

• Price: Contact sales (custom).
• Users: 10.
• Includes: Everything in Pro, plus Conjoint and Segmentation, PowerPoint export, API integrations, and enterprise security (SSO). Enterprise is for teams “seeking the most advanced consumer intelligence at scale” and is the only tier that includes Conjoint, Segmentation, API, and SSO. If your roadmap is heavy on pricing or segmentation studies, you will need at least an Enterprise conversation to get those methods and integrations.

Trials and pilots

Quantilope does not offer a public free plan. Select clients can request a limited trial or pilot study—typically one project using one advanced method—to evaluate the platform before subscribing. The company’s FAQ states that a pilot is “a great way to experience the platform and all of its automated features as you consider your available research options.” Demos and pricing discussions are done via the “Request a demo” flow on the website. Subscriptions are credit-based and scaled to your research roadmap and budget, so project volume is agreed with the team. The FAQ also notes: “We work with each client to collaborate on a personalized research roadmap based on your goals and budget. You simply subscribe to credits based on your requirements, ensuring your plan scales perfectly with your business.” So if you are comparing Quantilope to fixed-price survey tools, expect a more consultative sales process and a plan that is tailored to how many studies and which methods you plan to run in a year.

Hidden or extra costs

Panel costs (sample) are typically separate from platform fees and depend on study size and geography. Professional services beyond standard support may be quoted separately. There are no widely advertised setup fees; details should be confirmed at quote stage. Because subscriptions are credit-based and tailored to your research roadmap, the total cost of ownership will depend on how many studies you run, which methods you use (e.g., Conjoint and Segmentation only on Enterprise), and whether you need multi-language or implicit studies (Pro and above). If you are comparing to agency spend, factor in both the platform fee and per-study panel and any optional professional services to get a like-for-like view.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages

• Breadth of automated methods — Conjoint, MaxDiff, Segmentation, TURF, PSM, Key Driver, Penalty–Reward, A/B tests, implicit tests, and qualitative inColor are all built in and automated, reducing the need for multiple vendors or statisticians.
• Speed — Insights in under one second after responses and studies that complete in days instead of weeks, so you can iterate and decide faster.
• quinn — The AI co-pilot is included on every plan and supports survey creation, charting, and report building, making advanced research more accessible to non-experts.
• Real-time tracking — CI Tracking and dashboards update in real time with significance testing and collaborative editing, so stakeholders see current data without waiting for batch reports.
• Panel reach and flexibility — Access to 300M+ consumers and a panel-agnostic model so you can match sample to study needs.
• Recognition — #1 Market Research Technology in the 2025 GRIT Report (second year in a row) and a clear focus on automation and AI in a market that still relies heavily on manual agency work.
• End-to-end platform — One place for design, fielding, analysis, and reporting, with research support and professional services included.
• Better Brand Health Tracking — Science-backed (Ehrenberg-Bass) tracking with CEP and Mental Availability, plus the CEP Generator for strategy.

Disadvantages

• Entry price — Business starts at $22,000/year; no freemium or low-cost tier, so small teams or one-off projects may find it expensive.
• No self-serve list price for Pro/Enterprise — Pro and Enterprise require contacting sales, so budget planning is less transparent than with tools that publish all tiers.
• API only on Enterprise — Teams that need to pipe data into BI tools or other systems need the top tier.
• Learning curve — Advanced methods and tracking require some learning; the platform is built for researchers and insights teams rather than casual survey users.
• Limited public reviews — Compared to mass-market survey tools, third-party review volume (e.g., G2, TrustRadius) is smaller, so independent user sentiment is harder to aggregate.

When to choose Quantilope

Choose Quantilope when you need conjoint, segmentation, MaxDiff, brand tracking, or concept/creative testing with automation and speed, and want to move from agency-led projects to an in-house platform. It fits mid-market and enterprise insights and marketing teams with recurring research needs.

When to choose Qualtrics

Choose Qualtrics when you need a broad experience management platform (customer, employee, product, brand) with journey mapping, closed-loop actions, and deep CRM/ERP integration, not only market research.

When to choose SurveyMonkey

Choose SurveyMonkey for simple surveys, feedback collection, and quick setup at lower cost when you don’t need advanced methods or real-time tracking.

When to choose Zappi

Choose Zappi when the primary need is automated creative and ad testing with fast turnaround; G2 and other sources position it as a strong alternative in that niche (Zappi has a 4.5 rating on G2 with a smaller review base). Quantilope also does ad and concept testing via A/B and pre-roll methods and tracking, so the line between “creative testing” and “concept/conjoint” can blur—evaluate both if your roadmap mixes creative tests with pricing, segmentation, or brand tracking.

Platform vs. agency

Quantilope’s own content frames a clear contrast with traditional agencies: platforms automate programming, cleaning, and reporting for faster results and more transparent pricing (platform fee plus panel), while agencies bundle multiple teams and longer timelines. If you currently spend a large share of your research budget on external conjoint, segmentation, or tracking studies, Quantilope is designed to bring that work in-house at a lower cost per study and with more control over iteration and follow-up questions. Implementation differs from agency engagements: you own the platform, design and field studies (with support), and get results in real time. That requires internal capacity to run studies and interpret results, but the payoff is speed, cost control, and the ability to run more studies per year—as in the Samsung and Zurich examples. When comparing vendors, consider not only feature lists but also how each vendor’s sales and onboarding process fits your timeline; Quantilope’s demo-and-pilot flow is oriented toward a considered purchase rather than instant signup.

Setup and ease of use

Getting started

Quantilope is not self-signup. You request a demo on the website; the team then schedules a call to understand your research goals and suggests a plan (Business, Pro, or Enterprise) and, where relevant, a pilot study (one project, one method) so you can experience the platform. The company’s FAQ recommends starting with a demo so the team can “understand your specific research needs and goals” and “start thinking about the best platform package for you.” After the demo, you’ll get a walkthrough of the platform, products, methods, and solutions. In parallel, you can explore Quantilope Academy for certification courses and other educational resources. There is no public free tier or self-serve signup; access is gated by demo and, for pilots, selection. If you need to evaluate the platform quickly, mention your timeline and ask explicitly for a pilot so you can run one real study before committing.

Learning curve

The platform is built for people who run research regularly—insights managers, researchers, brand managers. Advanced methods and tracking require some ramp-up, but templates, quinn, and research support shorten the path. Drag-and-drop methods and automated analysis mean you don’t need a statistics background to get usable results. If you are new to conjoint or segmentation, the combination of pre-built study types and quinn’s ability to suggest inputs and generate charts reduces the need for formal training, though Quantilope Academy and certification courses are there for teams that want to deepen their method knowledge. Expect a few weeks to feel fully comfortable with study design, fielding, and reporting; the pilot is designed to give you that first hands-on experience with support from the team.

Interface and collaboration

The Consumer Intelligence Platform is web-based with real-time updates: when one user changes a study, report, or dashboard, others see it immediately. Automated significance testing, charting, and data cleaning reduce manual work. quinn is available in-context for design, analysis, and reporting.

Support

All plans include research support and professional services. Enterprise adds SSO and typically more tailored onboarding. Documentation and Academy resources support self-service learning; for method or study design help, the support and services team is the main channel. Client testimonials (e.g., Organic Valley) emphasize that Quantilope “never let me sit by myself”—the blend of platform ownership and partner support is a deliberate part of the offer, so even capable DIY users get guidance when they need it. If you are evaluating ease of use, request a demo and, if possible, a pilot: that will show you the real workflow from survey creation through quinn to reporting and how much you’ll rely on support versus self-serve.

User feedback and ratings

G2

As of 2025–2026, Quantilope holds a 4.3 out of 5 rating on G2 with 40 reviews, with a mix of mid-market and enterprise users. Reviewers highlight automation, breadth of methods, and speed; some note pricing and the need to contact sales for higher tiers.

TrustRadius and other sources

TrustRadius and similar sites describe Quantilope as an Insights Automation Platform with 15 automated methods, <1 second insight delivery, 300M+ panel access, and 80% more consumer-driven decisions (Quantilope-cited statistic). Pros commonly cited: end-to-end platform, real-time insights, quinn, and GRIT #1 positioning. Cons often include no public free trial and custom pricing for Pro/Enterprise.

Testimonials (from Quantilope)

• MoneyGram (Global Research and Insights Director): Emphasized that Quantilope’s automated advanced methods help executives trust insights and get clear recommendations.
• Organic Valley (Senior Director of Consumer Strategy): Valued Quantilope as a partner that pushes thinking and stays involved rather than leaving clients to work alone.
• Oatly (Business Insights Manager): Noted that speed and precision required in-house capability; first project completed in under two weeks.
• Samsung (Head of Consumer and Market Insights): Reported testing 4x more ad assets, 80% lower cost per tested ad, and turnaround from 10 working days to ~48 hours.
• Zurich Insurance (Head of Customer Insights): Cited €50,000–€70,000 annual savings by moving conjoint work in-house with Quantilope.

Aggregate sentiment suggests the platform is well regarded for automation, methodology breadth, and client support, with pricing transparency and learning curve as the main trade-offs. Users who have moved from agencies often highlight the speed and cost savings; users who compare Quantilope to simpler survey tools note that the power comes with more complexity and that it pays to invest in training (Academy, pilot, support) early. For 2026, the small but growing review base on G2 and TrustRadius is consistent with a B2B insights platform that sells primarily through demos and enterprise relationships rather than broad self-serve signup.

Who it's for (and who it's not)

Best fit

• Marketing and insights teams that run conjoint, segmentation, brand tracking, or concept testing regularly and want to bring this in-house.
• Mid-market and enterprise teams with budget for an annual platform (Business from ~$22k/year) and a need for speed and automation.
• Industries such as CPG, retail, technology, media, travel, and automotive where consumer insight drives product, pricing, and brand decisions.
• Teams without dedicated statisticians who still need advanced methods—quinn and automation make this feasible.
• Brands moving away from agency-only research who want faster iteration and lower cost per study.

Less ideal

• Very small teams or one-off projects with limited budget; entry cost and subscription model may not fit.
• Organizations that only need simple surveys (e.g., event feedback, NPS once a year); SurveyMonkey or similar may be enough.
• Teams that need deep CRM/ERP integration or API on a lower tier; API is Enterprise-only.
• Companies that prefer full-service agency delivery with minimal in-house platform use; Quantilope is built for hands-on, in-platform research.

Personas that fit well

• Insights director at a mid-market CPG or retail brand who runs 5–15 studies a year and wants to cut agency spend while keeping conjoint, segmentation, and tracking in-house.
• Brand manager who needs concept and creative testing on a tight calendar and can commit to learning one platform.
• Product or pricing lead who needs feature and price optimization (conjoint, PSM) with fast iteration.
• Research team of 1–2 that cannot support a full statistics function but needs to deliver advanced methods to stakeholders.
• Agency or consultancy that wants to run advanced methods for clients without building custom analysis in-house; the platform can serve as the execution layer while you focus on question design and storytelling.

For each of these, the common denominator is recurring need for advanced research and willingness to invest in a platform and a pilot. One-off projects or teams that only need a simple survey once a year are better served by survey-only tools or a single agency engagement.

Customer stories

Samsung

Samsung’s Consumer and Market Insights team used Quantilope for advertising asset testing. Outcomes cited by Quantilope: 4x more assets tested than with the previous approach, 80% reduction in cost per tested ad, and turnaround time reduced from 10 working days at larger agencies to data available within 48 hours. The head of insights described the combination of volume, cost, and speed as “unbeatable.”

Oatly

Oatly needed to run comprehensive insights at high speed and detail without depending on external agencies. They used Quantilope to complete their first research project in under two weeks and establish a benchmark for measuring funnel conversions. The Business Insights Manager (Sandra Schlicht) stated that Oatly “operates with remarkable speed and detail” and that they “would not be able to accomplish what we had in mind through an external agency.” The platform allowed them to operate at the required speed and precision in-house. The case is a good example of a brand that chose to build internal capability rather than outsource; Quantilope’s automation and support made that feasible for a team that may not have had a large research department.

Zurich Insurance

Zurich runs an average of five conjoint analysis projects per year, previously commissioned externally. By using Quantilope’s all-in-one platform, they reported saving approximately €50,000 to €70,000 per year while keeping conjoint in-house. Hermann Hausenbiegl (Head of Customer Insights) cited the “all-in-one platform” as the main enabler of the savings. For organizations that run multiple conjoint or other advanced studies per year, this order of magnitude (tens of thousands of euros or dollars saved annually) is a useful reference when building a business case to move from agency to platform.

These examples underscore the platform’s position: faster and more cost-effective than traditional agency workflows when you have recurring need for advanced methods. In each case, the client had a clear repeat need (ad testing, brand/concept work, conjoint) and was willing to build in-house capability; the payoff was volume (more tests), speed (days instead of weeks), and cost (lower per study and, for Zurich, six-figure annual savings). If your organization is considering a similar shift from agency-led to platform-led research, these outcomes are a useful benchmark for the kind of ROI that Quantilope’s sales and case-study team will reference—and worth validating with your own pilot and back-of-envelope comparison to current agency spend.

Roadmap and considerations

Recent and upcoming direction

Quantilope’s 2025 GRIT #1 positioning was driven by quinn, the CEP Generator, AI Probing, and quantilabs. In 2026, the company is likely to continue investing in AI and automation—smarter study design, better natural-language interaction with quinn, and more methods or tracking solutions. The GRIT report has highlighted a shift toward technology-led suppliers and GenAI integration in insights, which aligns with Quantilope’s product narrative.

Risks and considerations

• Pricing: Pro and Enterprise are custom-quoted; list prices could change, and panel or professional services can add to total cost. The published Business starting price ($22,000/year) is a useful anchor, but total cost of ownership depends on study volume, methods, and panel spend.
• Lock-in: Moving multi-year tracking or heavy methodology workflows to Quantilope creates dependency; API (Enterprise) and exports help but are worth confirming for your stack. If you anticipate needing to move data into a data warehouse or BI tool every month, confirm API and rate limits at the Enterprise level.
• Method availability by tier: Conjoint and Segmentation are Enterprise-only; implicit and qualitative are Pro and above. Ensure your chosen plan includes the methods you need so you don’t have to upgrade mid-year.
• Vendor stability: Quantilope is venture-backed (Series B in 2024) and growing; product and pricing roadmaps may evolve. The GRIT #1 position and client list (Nestlé, Samsung, etc.) are positive signals, but long-term contracts should be weighed against your risk tolerance.

Data and compliance

Quantilope operates as a SaaS platform; survey data is processed and stored according to the vendor’s policies and infrastructure. The company references ISO and GRIT recognition on its site. For regulated industries (e.g., healthcare, financial services) or strict data-residency requirements, enterprise buyers should confirm where data is stored, how long it is retained, and whether specific compliance certifications (e.g., SOC 2, GDPR DPA) are available. The panel-agnostic model allows you to use your own sample or approved panel providers, which can help with consent and data-source controls.

Market fit

Demand for faster, automated, and AI-aided research is growing. Quantilope is well positioned for teams that want to own their research process and reduce reliance on agencies while keeping methodological rigor. The GRIT Report’s focus on “automation and agility” as hot topics, and on technology suppliers outpacing service-led firms, aligns with Quantilope’s product and messaging. In 2026, the main strategic question for buyers is whether to invest in a full platform (Quantilope, Qualtrics, Zappi) or to keep using agencies for advanced work and tools like SurveyMonkey for simple surveys. For those ready to centralize advanced research in one platform, Quantilope remains a leading option; for those who prefer to outsource, the platform’s case studies and pricing are still useful as a benchmark for what in-house automation could deliver.

Summary

Quantilope is the Consumer Intelligence Platform for teams that want agency-quality advanced research—conjoint, segmentation, MaxDiff, brand tracking, concept testing—in-house, with automation and AI instead of long timelines and high agency fees. With 15 automated methods, the quinn co-pilot on every plan, real-time insights (often in under a second), and Better Brand Health Tracking rooted in Ehrenberg-Bass, it fits marketing and insights teams that run studies regularly and are ready to invest in a platform.

Pricing starts at $22,000/year for the Business tier (3 users); Pro and Enterprise are custom-quoted and add implicit/qualitative methods, Conjoint, Segmentation, API, and SSO. There is no free tier, but select clients can request a pilot study. When you request a demo, the team will walk you through the platform, methods, and solutions and help you map your research roadmap to a plan and credit structure. Taking advantage of Academy resources and a pilot (if offered) will give you a realistic view of setup time, learning curve, and ongoing support before you commit. For 2026, Quantilope’s position as the #1 Market Research Technology in the GRIT Report and its focus on quinn, the CEP Generator, and quantilabs make it a strong candidate for any team prioritizing automation and AI in consumer insight. Customer stories from Samsung, Oatly, and Zurich illustrate the kind of outcomes Quantilope aims for: more studies run, lower cost per study, and turnaround in days instead of weeks. If you are weighing Quantilope against agencies or other tools, request a demo, ask for a pilot if possible, and compare total cost (platform plus panel and any services) to your current agency or tool spend. For teams that have outgrown simple surveys and are ready to own advanced research in-house, Quantilope remains one of the leading options in 2026.

Best for: Marketing and insights teams that need advanced, automated consumer research without agency dependency or dedicated statisticians. Skip if: You only need basic surveys, have a very small budget, or prefer full-service agency delivery. Verdict: 4.4/5 — Leading automated consumer intelligence for research at the speed of business. If your team is ready to invest in a platform and run studies regularly, requesting a demo and a pilot is the next step; the combination of quinn, 15 automated methods, and real-time tracking will show you whether Quantilope fits your workflow and budget. For 2026, the platform remains a top choice for in-house advanced research, with the GRIT #1 ranking and client outcomes (Samsung, Oatly, Zurich) providing strong evidence of fit for marketing and insights teams that want to own their consumer intelligence. Evaluate it against your current agency spend and study volume to see if the platform approach pays off for you; a pilot study will give you real data to decide.
