Question 1

What does RecRam do that Maze doesn't?

Accepted Answer

RecRam captures qualitative video feedback — participants record their screen while narrating their experience, and AI analyzes sentiment, emotions, and recurring themes. Maze captures quantitative metrics: task completion rates, click paths, time-on-task, and misclick heatmaps. RecRam fills the qualitative gap that click data can't answer.

Question 2

Can RecRam replace Maze for UX research?

Accepted Answer

RecRam replaces Maze for qualitative unmoderated research — open-ended video walkthroughs, think-aloud sessions, and video feature requests. It doesn't replace Maze's quantitative prototype testing or Figma integration. Most UX teams use both: Maze for task metrics, RecRam for the stories behind those metrics.

Question 3

How much does RecRam cost compared to Maze?

Accepted Answer

Maze's free plan is very limited, with team plans starting at $99/month. RecRam is free forever for up to 100 responses/month, Pro from $29/month, Professional from $99/month — and there are no per-response fees, so high-volume research doesn't cost more.

Question 4

Does RecRam work for unmoderated usability testing?

Accepted Answer

Yes — RecRam is ideal for unmoderated usability research. You share a video form link; participants click it, record their screen and webcam, and narrate what they're trying to do. No scheduling, no moderator needed. AI transcribes and clusters findings automatically across all sessions.

Question 5

Can I run think-aloud protocols with RecRam?

Accepted Answer

RecRam is purpose-built for think-aloud video research. Participants record their screen plus webcam while narrating their experience out loud. AI captures exactly what they say, when they say it, and the emotion behind it — far richer than Maze heatmaps alone.

Question 6

Does RecRam integrate with Figma like Maze?

Accepted Answer

RecRam doesn't have a direct Figma integration for prototype click-tracking. However, you can share any Figma prototype URL in a RecRam video form — participants navigate the prototype and record their reactions on screen. You get the qualitative narrative that click-path data misses.

Question 7

How many participants do I need for RecRam user research?

Accepted Answer

Most qualitative research reaches saturation at 5-8 participants per user segment. RecRam AI helps you analyze responses efficiently — even 20-30 video sessions can be processed in minutes, with themes, sentiment, and key quotes surfaced automatically. No manual note-taking needed.

Question 8

Is RecRam GDPR compliant for user research participants?

Accepted Answer

Yes — RecRam is fully GDPR and CCPA compliant. Participants consent explicitly before recording. All video data is processed in the EU. You can delete any participant's recording on request. Ideal for research studies that require informed consent documentation.
