Verified participants for any research — product, academic, or market. From $39.9/mo, no per-participant fees.
No panel signup. No screener approval. No waiting. Describe who, let AI do the rest.
Natural language: by role, industry, geography, expertise, seniority — even niche signals like "shipped a feature in last 6 months" or "published in HCI journals."
Lessie searches LinkedIn, company directories, professional databases, and verified networks — no panel signup, no screener approval, no waiting list.
Every result includes role, company, seniority, and a verified work email — with a relevance score. Direct outreach, no panel intermediary.
Send invites, book interviews via Calendly, run surveys, conduct usability tests — your tools, your incentives, your relationships. Lessie just brings the people.
Panels optimize for monetizing professional respondents. Lessie optimizes for your real problem: “find 10 specific people, fast” — whether for product, academic, or launch research.
Prolific gives you students. Respondent.io gives you panel regulars. Lessie understands "fintech PMs who shipped in the last 6 months" or "HCI researchers at top-20 universities" — the niche populations panels can't reach.
You contact participants directly through your own email — no panel platform sitting between you and them. Own the relationship, follow up, build a long-term research network.
Stop waiting weeks for Respondent.io screener approval or Prolific to fill quotas. Type a query, get a ranked list of verified contacts in 60 seconds, send invites the same hour.
Respondent.io: $50-100/participant. User Interviews: $30-75/session. Prolific: $0.50/participant + completion bonuses. Lessie: flat $39.9/mo, recruit 5 or 500 — same cost. Spend your budget on incentives, not platform fees.
