    About

    In practice. What you can do with Maze.

    Maze combines participant recruitment, prototype usability testing, moderated interviews and surveys in one platform, with AI-assisted features (AI Moderator, AI Study Builder) for building and analyzing studies faster. It also supports card sorting and mobile app testing.

    Maze publishes no plan prices at all; the pricing page is a feature-comparison table where every paid tier requires contacting sales. Interview studies, AI Moderator, AI Study Builder and mobile testing are reserved for the Enterprise tier specifically. It fits a design or research team that wants an all-in-one research tool and is prepared to negotiate pricing directly with Maze.

    Our verdict. What to know about Maze.

    How the score breaks down

    Added value

    No plan prices are published at all; every paid tier requires a sales conversation, making it impossible to judge value against cost without contacting Maze directly.

    Simplicity

    Combining recruitment, prototype testing, interviews and surveys in one tool avoids stitching together several separate research tools for a first study.

    Fit for purpose

    Standard prototype usability tests and surveys work as promised, but key features like interview studies and AI Moderator require the Enterprise tier, a workaround for teams below that level.

    Performance

    Covers prototype testing, interviews, surveys, card sorting and mobile app testing with AI-assisted study building, a wide feature range for the category, though the most advanced pieces sit behind Enterprise.

    Reversibility

    Neutral score: export of study results and participant data when leaving Maze is not covered by the collected sources.
