How quantilope and Pogo compare

Pogo vs quantilope

quantilope automates the method on whatever panel you connect. Pogo makes sure the right people answer it: every buyer is matched to card, receipt, and retailer-account data before the study starts. Then ask them why, on video.

Any panel you connect vs. buyers we have verified

quantilope is panel agnostic: you bring your own list, connect an external panel, or use one of its partners, and its fraud checks screen out bots and known bad actors. None of that confirms that someone who says they buy your category actually does. Pogo starts from purchase data. Every buyer is matched to real transactions before they qualify, so a MaxDiff or concept test reads the people already spending in your aisle. And when the number needs a reason, the AI interviewer asks the follow-up question on video, with the same buyers.

Why teams choose Pogo over quantilope

01 · Verified buyers

Verified buyers, not self-reported claims

Most research panels qualify respondents by answering a screener, so anyone can claim to buy your brand to collect the incentive. On Pogo, every respondent is screened by real card, receipt, and location data before the study starts.

02 · Hard-to-fill audiences

Reach the buyers other panels can't

Low-incidence SKUs, a competitor's customers, category lapsers — that's where self-reported panels run dry. Pogo finds them by what they actually bought: brand, retailer, SKU, and frequency.

03 · Behavior + answer

The behavior behind every answer

Most tools give you the survey response. Pogo gives you the response and the verified purchase behind it — the receipt, the store visit, the brand switch — attached to the same person, in one study.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Pogo a good quantilope alternative?

Yes. Pogo runs MaxDiff, concept tests, and other Quant Surveys with buyers matched to purchase data, then adds AI-moderated video interviews with the same people. The method only matters if the right people answer it. On Pogo, they do.

What data does Pogo actually use to verify a purchase?

Pogo matches respondents against real-world purchase signals — including credit and debit card transaction data, digital receipts, in-store visit data, and app usage data — before they ever qualify for a study. That's what "purchase-verified" means in practice: confirmed behavior across multiple data sources, not a single self-reported screener question.

Where does quantilope's sample come from?

quantilope says its platform is panel agnostic: you bring your own panel, connect an external one, use one of its panel partners, or recruit through social links. Pogo comes with its own buyers, each confirmed by card, receipt, and retailer-account data before the study begins.

Can I run MaxDiff and concept tests on Pogo?

Yes. Run MaxDiff and concept tests as Quant Surveys with verified buyers of your category or your competitors, then interview a subset on video to hear what drove the result.

Does quantilope do qualitative research?

quantilope's inColor collects video answers to set questions and analyzes them with AI, and its surveys can add AI follow-up probes to text answers. Pogo's AI interviewer asks follow-up questions in the interview itself, on video, and every person answering is a verified buyer.

Can I interview my competitors' buyers on Pogo?

Yes. Pogo builds an audience from what people actually bought, by brand, retailer, SKU, or frequency. That includes a competitor's customers, lapsed buyers, and category switchers.

How long does a Pogo study take?

Interviews start coming back within hours of launch, and most studies run end to end in under 2 days, with transcripts, themes, and highlight reels at the end.

Run your next study on people who actually buy the category.
