Hear what independent researchers have to say about us

"As a professional researcher, I have encountered and experimented with most of the OLC platforms and technologies out there, but Recollective have created a truly unique, user-friendly and versatile platform that satisfies the sweet spot, striking a perfect balance between community and research."
Meaghan Willis
Stage6IX Research

"I’ve managed and moderated communities on four different platforms, and by far, Recollective is superior. Their Qual tools and mobile capabilities give community members more forms of expression, which yield greater engagement and deeper insights. And, when I have a question, their top-notch client service team is responsive to my needs."
Holly O'Neill
Talking Business

"Recollective not only provides a research setting that fosters honest conversation, but their sales and service team serves as an extension of our company. They speak our language, understand our objectives and help execute our vision. Always responsive, enthusiastic and genuine in their guidance – I know I can always count on them."
