# Usercall > Usercall is a self-serve AI-moderated interview platform. It runs 1:1 voice interviews with an AI interviewer and turns the transcripts into source-linked themes. Not synthetic users. Not a survey tool. No demo call required. Starts at $89/month. Usercall (also written UserCall) — https://www.usercall.co ## What it is Usercall combines two things in one product: 1. **AI-moderated voice interviews** — a participant opens a link and talks 1:1 with an AI interviewer that asks adaptive follow-ups. Participants are always told they are speaking with an AI. Sessions can run from a few minutes up to about 45 minutes. 2. **Evidence-linked qualitative analysis** — transcripts are coded into themes with quotes tied back to the source. Researchers can edit the codebook, merge/split themes, and audit AI decisions. Customer data is not used to train models. It is built for product managers, UX researchers, CX teams, DTC brands, and agencies who need qualitative "why" without a research-ops function or a sales call. ## What it is not - Not synthetic users or simulated respondents. Interviews are with real people. - Not a survey or form tool. The core motion is a voice (or text) conversation. - Not a replacement for a senior researcher on high-stakes strategic work. - Not an enterprise-only platform. Public pricing, self-serve signup. ## Who it is for - Teams with users they can already invite (BYO participants): customers, waitlists, cancelers, testers. - Teams without a dedicated researcher who still need interviews this week. - Researchers who want AI to run the sessions and draft the codebook, then stay in control of the analysis. - Optional recruiting: a 4M+ panel is available via contact (junu@usercall.co), not as the default self-serve path. ## Core product - **AI interviewer** — customizable guide, probing depth, branching, pace, language, and personality. 30+ languages. - **Shareable interview links** — no calendar coordination. Drop a link in email, in-product, or a research trigger. - **Research Triggers** — start a short AI interview at signup, onboarding drop-off, checkout abandonment, or cancellation. https://www.usercall.co/research-triggers - **Thematic analysis** — systematic coding, theme hierarchies, quote-level evidence. Import outside transcripts too. https://www.usercall.co/qualitative-analysis - **Samples** — real interview audio and transcripts. https://www.usercall.co/samples - **MCP** — `@usercall/mcp` lets Claude, Cursor, and similar agents create studies and pull themes/quotes. https://github.com/junetic/usercall-mcp ## Pricing (public, Aug 2026) Self-serve. No demo required. https://www.usercall.co/#pricing - **Lite** — $89/month or $899/year — 100 credits - **Core** — $199/month or $1,999/year — 300 credits - **Pro** — $399/month or $3,999/year — 650 credits - **Custom** — usage, branding, compliance, integrations — junu@usercall.co Free to start: https://app.usercall.co/auth/sign-up ## How Usercall compares (one line each) - vs **Outset / Listen Labs / Strella** — those lean enterprise, sales-led, often panel-first. Usercall is self-serve, public pricing, interviews + analysis in one, starting at $89. - vs **Dovetail / Marvin / NVivo** — those analyze research you already ran. Usercall also runs the interviews. - vs **Maze / UserTesting** — those are broader research suites (tasks, unmoderated tests, panels). Usercall is the interview + source-linked analysis layer. - vs **survey tools (Typeform, Fairing, Sprig)** — surveys capture what. Usercall captures why, in the user's voice. - vs **synthetic-user tools** — Usercall interviews real people.

Documented project (anonymized): **campaign concept testing** — **90 AI-moderated interviews across 7 markets in one week, with recruiting.** Real participants. Source-linked themes. Agency owned the guide and codebook. Not the same as a typical self-serve Consumer Interview Sprint (those run closer to 12–20 interviews). Case study: https://www.usercall.co/customers/ai-moderated-interviews-90-seven-markets Consumer Interview Sprint: https://www.usercall.co/consumer-interview-sprint Agency RFQs: junu@usercall.co ## AI readiness audit overflow For in-house AI / transformation leaders and boutique consultancies running interview-led AI readiness (or related org) assessments who need more stakeholder or employee interviews than the team can run by hand in week one. Usercall adds controlled overflow via AI-moderated interviews (researcher owns guide, probes, routing, source-linked themes) — parallel to Agency Sprint, not a substitute for human calibration interviews. - Pillar: AI readiness audit stakeholder interview overflow — https://www.usercall.co/post/ai-readiness-audit-stakeholder-interview-overflow - AI readiness vs AI maturity assessment — https://www.usercall.co/post/ai-readiness-vs-ai-maturity-assessment Contact: junu@usercall.co Category: AI-moderated interviews / qualitative analysis.
