Teams use it to run prototype, usability, survey, interview, card sorting, tree testing, live website and mobile tests, then turn results into reports and clips with AI assistance. It is aimed at product, design and research teams that want continuous research tied to product decisions.","category":"Customer Research","decision_record":{"best_for":"Product designers, product managers and UX or market research teams that want to run frequent usability, concept and prototype tests and centralize recruitment, studies and reporting. Also fits teams without dedicated researchers who want templated or AI-assisted study building and fast panel-based feedback.","not_ideal_for":"Buyers who need full-service, managed research outsourcing or offline fieldwork — Maze is a self-serve digital platform with no evidence of either.

Preserve these limitations and costs: there is a documented Free plan but paid tiers and panel credit rates are undisclosed and require a sales quote; panel credits are the main variable cost and bundle participant incentives; many advanced features (MCP, AI study builder, AI moderator, moderated interviews, card sorting, mobile testing) are Enterprise-only, and limits apply even on all-plan features; refund terms are not published. Do not describe Maze as free, do not state a specific price or panel headcount as fact, and do not claim managed research services or offline fieldwork.
