Stop Paying Per Response To Talk To Your Own Customers

Research platforms tax every answer: per response, per seat, per study, per AI question, with the math hidden behind a quote. CoolTool charges for the people who build, and for the people who answer. Everything in between is included.

THE MODEL WE BROKE

Your Own Audience Should Never Be A Line Item

Panel platforms bill a cost per interview on every response, your own customers included, again on every wave, with fraud and markup baked in. The more you ask, the more it costs, so teams ask less.

Responses you collect yourself, through links, embeds, uploads, your CRM or your community, are always $0 and unlimited on every plan including Free. You pay per response only when you use our verified audience.

THE WHOLE MODEL

One Kind Of Person, One Kind Of Meter

No credits. No packs. No token math. No seat licences for anyone who is not building research.

Builders, $99 Per Month Each

The people who create and run research. Everyone they share results with, including stakeholders, clients and the whole company, sees polished live reports without an account, a seat or a fee.

Respondents, The Only Meter

Your own audience is always $0 and unlimited. Buy ours at one all-in price, quoted live and guaranteed before launch. Add an AI interview for $1, or any advanced method for $2 per tested respondent.

Everything After, Included

Dashboards, statistics, AI analysis, reports, open-end coding and exports. None of it carries a charge.

PRICING QUESTIONS

The Honest Answers

Who counts as a builder?

Someone who logs in to create or run research: building surveys, fielding studies, analyzing data, managing the workspace. People you share results with are not builders. They open a link and see live reports, dashboards or field monitors without an account. Share with five people or five thousand, the price is the same: zero.

What exactly costs $1?

A response where the AI runs a conversational interview, asking its own follow-up questions, adapting to what the person said, and probing until the answer is actually useful. It is charged per response, on any audience including your own. Ordinary open-ended questions cost nothing.

And what does the $2 cover?

Any advanced method run on one respondent: implicit reaction-time testing, eye-tracking, or emotion measurement. Run two of them on the same person and it is still $2, because you pay per tested respondent, not per method. Implicit testing is live today; eye-tracking and emotion are in early access.

What do I actually pay per response?

Nothing, for responses you collect yourself, unlimited on every plan. For our verified audience you see one all-in price for your exact audience before launch, typically $2 to $4 for US general population, and that exact price appears on the invoice.

Are there credits or AI limits?

No. There is no credit balance, no pack to buy, no token math, and no fair-use policy hiding a number we will not print. Analysis, reports and chat are unlimited because they cost us almost nothing. The only things with a price are respondents.

Can I control spending?

Yes. Set a monthly fieldwork cap, and every study shows its full cost before you launch it. There is nothing else that can generate a charge.

What happens if I cancel?

Your data is yours. Exports work on every plan, forever, and shared report links keep working on the Free plan.
