What is PlaybookUX?

PlaybookUX is a user testing software for both moderated and unmoderated research. The vendor helps companies receive video based feedback from their target demographic on product usability, designs, websites, ideas and more. They handle recruiting, incentivizing, transcribing, and analyzing.
When it comes to recruiting, the vendor says they allow you to specify job role, industry, age, household income and more. You don’t need to pay a hefty subscription price to get access to advanced demographic targeting and screeners.
They also don't require a subscription fee, since they say user research should be accessible and affordable for all teams.
