Two Different Questions, Two Different Tools

UserTesting answers: "How do people experience this ad? What are they thinking and feeling?"

TestMyAdvertising answers: "Which ad will perform better in market?"

UserTesting is excellent at what it does — watching real people react to your creative in their own words gives you rich qualitative understanding that no algorithm can replicate. Brands like Microsoft, Canva, Grammarly, and HelloFresh use UserTesting to understand the why behind audience reactions.

We solve a different problem. TestMyAdvertising predicts which ad wins when content competes in the real world — trained on 18 trillion actual outcomes, not stated opinions. We're not better at qualitative understanding. We're faster and more predictive at picking winners.

Why Marketers Add Test My Advertising

Instant Screening at Scale

20 seconds vs. hours of video analysis
UserTesting gives you 5–50 video recordings to watch and synthesize. That depth is valuable — but not when you need to screen 20 concepts by Friday. TestMyAdvertising lets you filter to finalists instantly, then use UserTesting for deep-dive understanding on the winners.

Quantitative Prediction

Know what will work, not just why it might
UserTesting tells you what people say about your ad. We predict which ad performs based on 18 trillion real-world outcomes — when two pieces of content competed for engagement, which one won? Our predictions achieve 60–70% accuracy, validated against $1M+ in live media spend.

No Minimums, No Contracts

$99 per test vs. $15,000+ annual commitment
UserTesting requires annual subscriptions starting at $15,000 for basic plans, scaling to $49,000+ for enterprise. TestMyAdvertising starts at $99 per test — no seat licenses, no procurement process. Test one ad or a hundred.

Behavioral Data, Not Stated Preference

What people do vs. what they say
People are notoriously bad at predicting their own behavior. UserTesting captures what people say they'll do. We're trained on what 200M+ people actually did when presented with competing content in the real world.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this really a replacement for UserTesting?

It depends on what you need. UserTesting excels at qualitative understanding — watching real people react and explain their thinking gives you depth we can't match. TestMyAdvertising excels at quantitative prediction — telling you which ad will perform better in market. If you need to know which ad to run, we're faster and more predictive. If you need to understand why people feel a certain way, UserTesting's video feedback is the right tool.

How do the two tools work together?

Many marketers use both: TestMyAdvertising to rapidly screen many concepts and identify winners, then UserTesting for deep qualitative research on finalist creative. This gives you speed and scale for screening, plus rich understanding for optimization.

Can I test the same ad formats?

Yes. Test TV ads, digital ads, social video, billboards, CTAs, headlines, visuals, and more. Our AI works across all major advertising channels that UserTesting supports for creative testing.

What about UserTesting's new self-serve options?

UserTesting has introduced more accessible pricing tiers and faster turnaround options in recent years. Even their quickest options take hours to days for results. If that timeline works for you and you need the qualitative depth, UserTesting is a solid choice. TestMyAdvertising is for when you need a winner in 20 seconds.

How is AI-based testing as reliable as real human feedback?

Different question, different methodology. UserTesting captures what people say — which is valuable for understanding reactions and gathering verbatim feedback. Our AI is trained on what people do — 18 trillion real-world outcomes where content competed for attention. We learn from what actually worked in market, not opinions about what might work. Both approaches have value; ours is faster and more predictive for picking winners.

Why would I pay $99 when UserTesting gives qualitative depth?

Because the questions are different. Paying $99 for "which ad wins" doesn't replace paying for "why people react this way." If you're screening 20 concepts and need to pick 3 finalists by Friday, you want instant prediction. If you're refining your finalist and need to understand exactly what's working, you want qualitative depth.

What if I'm not satisfied?

We offer a 100% money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied with the results, we'll refund your payment within 30 days.
