In their words
"We ran the same survey as last year with The Outsource Collective and cut cost per complete by 42% using their Voice AI — open-ended answers got noticeably richer. They kept our team in the loop the whole way."
"Scaling to 1,200 interviews a week used to mean a resourcing nightmare. Now it's a partnership — they coach us on the questionnaire and review the themes alongside our analysts helping drive richer insights from every interview."
Transparent pricing
No opaque day-rates, seat fees, or hidden costs. You pay per minute, so you see exactly what each survey costs and how it compares to traditional calling — the same metric your finance team already tracks, just dramatically lower.
Run a pilot on your own questionnaire — billed per minute, low setup fee — and see the cost and insight difference before you commit.
