Tiers are annual commitments. Recruiting cost only - excludes participant incentives. Rates and session counts are estimates; final pricing is confirmed at commitment.

The questions buyers ask.
How does per-session pricing work in practice?
You only pay for sessions that complete - if a participant drops out mid-interview, fails your screener, or no-shows, you're not charged. Each session price is deducted from a recruitment balance you top up as you go, and the rate depends on your tier: commit to an annual volume and every session, on every methodology, gets cheaper.
What's the difference between Consumer and B2B pricing?
Consumer participants are everyday people who fit your research criteria. B2B participants are professionals with specific skill sets or niche work experience - recruitment costs for professionals are higher because they're harder to reach.
Are AI moderation and synthesis really included?
Yes. Every plan includes the AI moderator, screener tooling, recordings, automated synthesis, highlight-reel exports, and reporting - at no extra charge. You're not paying for the platform; you're paying for the participants. Unmoderated rates are available on every tier.
Are participant incentives included in the per-session price?
No - incentives are separate from the per-session price. You set and fund the participant incentive for each study, and Respondent handles the payout through Tremendous. So you only pay for completed sessions, plus the incentives you choose to offer.
How do annual commitments work?
Commit to an annual recruiting volume - from $7.5K a year - and your per-session rate steps down on every methodology; the calculator above shows your rate at each tier. Spend the commitment on any study, audience or methodology. Below the entry commitment you simply pay as you go at the list rate.
When does a larger commitment make sense?
It depends on how many studies you run and how many teams across your org run studies each year. Our main clients are enterprises and tech companies that run large-scale user research and recruit hundreds of participants per study.
How is API pricing different?
API sessions share the moderated list rate, but annual commitments discount them much more steeply because volume is the point of the product. API access is set up with our team - talk to sales to get started.
