Maze Pricing in May 2026

Maze's standard pricing follows tiered structure: Free tier (3 active studies, basic features), Starter at $50/month, Professional at $108/month, Organization custom-quote starting around $400/month. Real-world Maze bills for design-and-research teams land at $100-1,000/month for early-stage; growing product teams with serious unmoderated testing hit $2K-10K/month at Organization tier.

The 6 months free offer covers approximately $300-650 of value depending on plan tier. Eligibility focuses on early-stage product teams with verified UX research needs. The strategic decision: Maze's value is the unmoderated quantitative testing — run prototype tests, first-click tests, surveys at scale with metrics ready in hours rather than weeks of moderated research. For design teams iterating on prototypes, Maze accelerates validation that used to take a full research sprint. The free trial is the right time to validate whether unmoderated testing fits your research culture. For teams needing moderated video feedback with specific demographics, UserTesting wins on panel quality at much higher pricing. For teams needing recruitment for self-moderated research, User Interviews handles this slice better. For specifically prototype-testing, UsabilityHub (now Lyssna) is a credible direct competitor at similar pricing. For research synthesis across all methods, Dovetail and Great Question target the research-repository workflow that Maze doesn't handle. Most product teams settle on Maze + User Interviews + Dovetail combined for full research stack.
