Top 100 User Research Companies
June 2023Looking for a top user research company?
User research is part of UX design. It involves collecting qualitative and quantitative data about a company's or product's users with the goal of understanding user needs and pain points. User researchers use this data to improve a product's user experience.
A core benefit of user research is defining the user story – needs and pain points – behind a product. Solid user research ensures design changes target outcomes and business goals instead of new features that may not be used.
That's why we've created this list of the best user research firms for you to review. Read through company descriptions, former clients, and notable projects to find the best fit for your business.
