Every audience costs the same.

Traditional panels charge 5-10x more for low-incidence audiences. Synthetic panels don't. A study costs the same credits whether you're targeting general pop or left-handed organic-buying dads in Vermont.

Add activities above to see your recommendation.

Start with a project: $12,000 or $18,000

The AI Recommendation Project shows whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok and Google AI recommend your product, which rival they pick instead and why, then drafts and tests the fix. $12,000 covers one product line; $18,000 covers up to three products with a fix tested for each. Both include 90 days of weekly watch, with each question asked three times per run. See the project

Talk to Sales

No incidence rate penalty

In traditional research, targeting niche segments costs 5-10x more because of low incidence rates. You pay for every respondent who gets screened out. With Simporter's synthetic panels, a study on 'Gen Z males in the Midwest who buy premium pet food' costs the same as general population. No IR penalty. No surprise invoices. Same credits, any audience.

A full year to use them

Credits last 12 months from purchase and are shared by everyone in your workspace. We always spend the credits that expire soonest first, and your balance page shows what expires next.

Frequently asked questions

One credit is one unit of research capacity, worth $1. A concept screen costs 50 credits ($50). A full concept testing sprint costs 18,000 credits ($18,000). Credits map directly to research value, not compute.

Credit packs start at $5,000 for 5,000 credits. Most projects run $10,000 to $18,000.

Watch is 80 credits per product per week. Annual plans sold before credit packs keep their included products. Every project includes 90 days of watch.

We quote each panel at the vendor cost plus a standard fee. It is invoiced separately from credits.

Credits expire 12 months after purchase. We spend the credits that expire soonest first.

A traditional concept test costs $30K-$50K and takes 4-6 weeks. The same study on Simporter costs 18,000 credits ($18,000) and delivers in 14 days. In-app actions like concept screens cost as little as 50 credits ($50).

Every audience costs the same. Targeting low-incidence segments with traditional panels costs 5-10x more because of screening costs. Synthetic panels eliminate that entirely.

Yes. Everyone in a workspace draws from one credit balance. Enterprise accounts also get per-team allocation and chargeback reporting.
