The problem

Every week, your team makes decisions
without consumer input.

Not because they want to — but because they feel like they have no other choice.

01

AI is accelerating everything

Decisions that used to take quarters now take days. Gut feel is the default because nothing else moves fast enough.

02

Research takes weeks

By the time you get results, the brief has changed or the launch has already happened.

03

Insights team is at capacity

If it even exists anymore. Concept tests and campaign validations fall to the bottom of the pile.

04

Existing tools are overly complex

Most research platforms are built with more features than anyone actually needs, even researchers.

The result: decisions get made on gut feel, internal opinion, and AI-generated assumptions.

Why it works

The signal behind the score

Most research tells you what people chose, with Market Pulse you'll understand what drove them to make the decision.

Real people. No shortcuts.

Every response comes from a real, verified consumer — not a bot, not someone gaming the system. Because a decision is only as good as the data behind it.

Not a survey — a conversation.

Mobile-first and open-ended, with AI-powered follow-ups that go deeper without adding fatigue. People open up the way they would in a real chat — so you get the why, not just the what.

What people think, and why.

Numbers, open-ends, voice and unlimited video in one seamless flow. You'll see what scored highest — and the language and faces behind it. Not just what people chose, but why.

FAQs

Common questions about Market Pulse

How long does it take to get results from Market Pulse?

Most studies return full results within 24 hours of launch. Over 40% of responses come in within the first 60 minutes. Setup is same-day, so you can go from question to consumer feedback faster than most internal approval processes.

How quickly can I get started?

Most teams are set up and running their first study within a week of signing. Onboarding is included in every program — we handle the setup so you can focus on the questions that matter.

How do you make sure respondents are real people?

Rival Audiences is our own verified consumer panel. We use fraud detection to identify and remove suspicious or low-quality responses before they reach your results — so you're working with data you can actually stand behind.

What types of studies can I run?

Market Pulse includes pre-built templates for the decisions product and marketing teams face most often — ad testing, message testing, concept testing, UX testing, pricing and packaging, campaign effectiveness, product preference, innovation screening, and more.

Is Market Pulse right for us if we don't have a research team?

Yes — that's exactly who it's built for. Market Pulse is designed to be used by product managers, brand managers, and marketers directly. No research experience required. The templates and onboarding support are there to guide you from day one.

Do I need to sign an annual contract?

No. The minimum commitment is 90 days. There's no annual lock-in — you can start with a quarterly program and expand from there as it proves value for your team.

What's included in the price?

One bundled price covers platform access, our verified consumer panel, pre-built study templates, and onboarding support. There are no separate line items for the platform or panel — everything is included.

Can Market Pulse be used as a pre-approved vendor?

Rival Technologies is already pre-approved with many procurement teams. Ask us to check if yours is on the list — it could mean you're able to get started without a lengthy procurement process.

What kind of support is included?

Every program includes onboarding support and a dedicated contact for the life of your program. If you need more hands-on help — study design, methodology guidance, or results interpretation — that's available as an add-on.
