Differentiator 02

The only US panel built for the conversational era.

Most surveys are designed to extract answers. Rival is designed to start conversations. By mirroring how people actually communicate — on mobile, in natural back-and-forth — we get respondents out of test-taking mode and into genuine engagement. The survey experience isn't a footnote. It's the variable that determines the quality of everything that follows.

40% of responses come in within the first hour. Engaged respondents don't just respond faster — they respond better.

What a better respondent experience delivers

  • Higher engagement, fewer drop-offs — chat-style surveys feel like a conversation, not a chore.
  • Show you, not just tell you — video, voice, and images surface the "why" behind the numbers.
  • In-the-moment reactions — mobile-first means respondents answer when the experience is fresh, not a day later.
  • AI probing goes deeper, without fatigue — smart follow-ups trigger automatically when responses are shallow.
