Great Question facts
Is AI moderation live, and which plan includes it?
Yes. AI-moderated interviews are live, not in beta. They're an Enterprise add-on and aren't available on the Self-serve plan.
How big is the Great Question participant panel?
Great Question recruits external participants through two panels: Respondent (4.3M+ B2B and B2C participants) and User Interviews (7.5M+). They're separate providers, so there's no combined figure. Self-serve accounts recruit from Respondent. Enterprise accounts can choose either.
What can I prototype test in Great Question?
Figma prototypes, prototypes built with Lovable, v0, Replit or Claude, and live websites. Paste the URL and add your tasks. Prototype testing is on every plan.
Which video tools does Great Question work with for interviews?
Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams on every plan, including automatic Teams meeting links for interviews. Webex is available on Enterprise.
