Product research platform for agile teams

About Maze

Maze is a product research platform that assists agile teams in quickly testing and gathering user insights to enhance their design and development processes. The platform allows product managers, designers, and researchers to consolidate their research efforts into one easy-to-use interface. Users can import prototypes from popular design tools like Figma and Sketch with a single click, enabling them to conduct usability tests on high-fidelity designs. Maze supports testing multiple design variants in one study, which helps teams make informed decisions based on real user feedback rather than intuition. The company operates on a subscription-based model, offering various pricing plans to accommodate different team sizes. Maze's goal is to empower product teams to create user-centric products by providing fast and continuous feedback, ultimately driving business growth and improving user satisfaction.
