The short answer

TheySaid is built for product teams testing what they ship. Its launches finished first or second of the day on Product Hunt three times between 2024 and 2025. Synthetic testers trained on your customer data use your product on screen and think aloud, tests run when a Jira or Linear ticket reaches Design Done, and an MCP connection runs those tests from Claude. Its pricing page lists conditional logic, templates and the API under Enterprise, priced through sales; its survey pricing page puts the API on Team, from $499 a month. QuestionPunk Free includes branching, the API, webhooks and MCP for Claude and ChatGPT, with unlimited surveys and responses. AI interviews run by text in 130+ languages or by voice in 25.
