At Lyssna, we understand the critical role continuous research plays in the product development process from strategy to launch. To build exceptional products and deliver outstanding user experiences, you need a way to understand the needs, wants, and pain points of your users at every step.

However, the current landscape of research software is marked by fragmentation, requiring researchers to navigate a myriad of tools and clunky processes.

We recognize the challenges you face – the escalating platform costs, limited resources in terms of both time and budget, and the need for frequent research. Enter Lyssna, where we believe that research should be easy, fast, and accessible for everyone. Our goal is to eliminate the barriers hindering your continuous research efforts, allowing you to gain insights swiftly and seamlessly to validate your decisions.

To deliver on this promise, we've developed a comprehensive platform that consolidates surveys, usability testing, and recruitment. We’re excited to now add user interview scheduling, recruitment and screening – as well as storage and transcription of your interview recordings – to our affordable, user-friendly solution.
