Have specific needs? Or just want a walkthrough first? Either way, let’s talk.
What’s under the hood
Science-backed
Peer-reviewed methodology. 86% theme recall validated against Baymard Institute & NNg. Not a prompt wrapper — a research architecture.
Stance-diverse personas
Big Five personality traits, adoption stances, cognitive biases, and 5 built-in dissenters. Disagreement by design — not echo chambers.
Research library
Pre-built templates, persona archetypes, and frameworks across 37 industry domains and 69 countries. Start from depth, not from scratch.
Auditable reports
Evidence chains, interview citations, web-validated findings, and adversarial quality review. PDFs ready to ship — not outputs you need to rewrite.

Yes. Every plan comes with a 14-day free trial and 1,000 free credits (around 2 full studies) — no credit card required. You get full platform access so you can run real studies and see the output before committing.
One study equals one research question explored with a full persona panel. A user interview is one study. A message test is one study. An A/B test is one study. Each produces a complete report with findings, evidence chains, and recommendations. One study costs approximately 400 credits.
Each study uses approximately 400 credits. On Starter at $79/month, you get 3,000 base credits plus 1,200 bonus credits during the launch period — roughly 10 studies per month total. On Pro at $199/month, you get 7,000 base credits plus 3,000 bonus credits — roughly 25 studies per month total. That works out to around $8 per study on Pro and $8–$10 on Starter.
After 14 days or when your 1,000 free credits run out (whichever comes first), you’ll be asked to choose a plan. Your research reports and data stay accessible for 30 days — after that, access is limited. Pick a plan to keep everything unlocked.
Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade anytime from your account settings. Changes take effect on your next billing cycle.
Yes. No contracts, no cancellation fees. Cancel from your account settings and you’ll retain access through the end of your current billing period.
The core difference is credits and client-facing features. Starter gives you 3,000 credits per month (around 7 studies), fits consultants and SaaS teams with focused use cases. Pro gives you 7,000 credits per month (around 17 studies), plus white-label reports to deliver research under your own brand and early access to new product updates.
Everything else in the platform works the same on both plans. User interviews, message testing, A/B testing, Articos MCP, live calls, probing follow-ups, and Talk to Research all draw from your credit pool.
Pro fits agencies managing multiple clients, SaaS teams running frequent campaigns or optimization cycles, growth-focused teams iterating weekly, and consultants delivering research across engagements. If you’re running more than a handful of studies a month, Pro is built for the volume.
After a research completes, Talk to Research lets you go back to any persona from your study and ask follow-up questions — the kind of thing that would normally require scheduling another interview, paying another incentive, and waiting another week. “What specifically made you hesitate on the pricing?” or “Would a free trial have changed your mind?” — asked directly to the persona who raised the objection. Starter includes 2 queries per research. Pro is unlimited.
Pro and Enterprise reports can be exported with your branding instead of Articos branding. Your clients see your logo, your colors — not ours. Agencies use this to deliver research as their own branded deliverable.
Monthly credits (base and bonus) reset at the start of each billing cycle. If you want credits that carry forward, you can top up with additional credit packs. Those carry over month to month until used.
Yes. Articos MCP works on both Starter and Pro. Connect your Articos account to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Gemini, or any MCP-compatible agent, then test messaging, positioning, or landing pages from inside the chat. Studies run through the MCP use credits from your plan the same way as studies run in the Articos platform.
Live calls let you have a real-time voice conversation with any persona from your panel. They use credits from your plan, so you can run as many as your credit balance allows.
No. Research packs never expire. Buy a pack and use the credits whenever you need them.
