Unlike Listen Labs, which only offers AI moderation, Strella gives you the choice between human moderation, AI moderation, or a mix of both—ensuring your research retains depth, authenticity, and adaptability to your needs.
Teams value Strella’s ability to control who participates in studies. With Listen Labs, participation is automatically managed, removing control over who you can invite in—something many teams have found limiting.
Strella immediately converts research into actionable insights, providing teams with instant AI-generated highlight reels and easy-to-query thematic dashboards—so you can move from data to decisions in hours, not weeks.
