Discover is our modern, streamlined web-based app providing basic MaxDiff, conjoint analysis, general interviewing, and data analysis.
Lighthouse Studio is our industry-leading Windows desktop application for MaxDiff and conjoint analysis. It gives you full power and flexibility to author online and offline surveys, analyze data, and run market simulations.

On-the-fly item ranking results (can be used in follow up questions, skip logic, etc.)
Anchored scaling (asking additional questions about whether items are important/not important or buy/no buy; otherwise the item scores are just relative scores )
Sparse (showing each item 1 time per respondent instead of the usual 2-3 times)
Relevant Items MaxDiff (showing a customized subset of items to each respondent, i.e. most relevant items to the respondent's job function, number of items can differ across respondents)
Express (randomly choosing a subset of the total items to show to each respondent across all their MaxDiff sets)
Bandit (choosing a subset of the total items to show each respondent across all their MaxDiff sets, where we adaptively oversample items based on previous respondents' preferences)
