“Working with dscout is just much better than UserTesting. Creating the mission was very easy and I like the interface. Plus, the scouts are really good.”
- Mary Mascari
UX Researcher, Major US Airline
“Great community of panel participants. Everyone is always articulate, creative, and engaged. Additionally, we can get research studies recruited, launched and fielded quickly on the platform, giving us the insight needed to work at the fast speeds clients have come to expect. The dscout project support staff is also super helpful!”
