When Outset is the better choice
Outset is the stronger choice for consumer and CX research — testing concepts, prototypes, and customer experience across large panels (its customers include Microsoft and Nestlé), with Figma/prototype screen-share built in. For voice-of-the-customer work rather than expert diligence, Outset fits well.
