Portifer vs UserTesting
UserTesting is best known for recorded and live tests of websites, apps and prototypes. Portifer is a product seeding and testing platform for consumer brands: it ships physical products to testers and collects surveys, photos and videos with automatic summaries.

What to check beyond features
The Portifer column is what we offer today. We do not restate UserTesting's onboarding, support terms, certifications or API, because they change and we cannot verify them; the last column is the question to ask UserTesting directly.
| Dimension | Portifer | Ask UserTesting |
|---|---|---|
| Onboarding | Self-Service: create an account and run campaigns yourself. Assisted and Fully Managed: our team and fulfilment partners set up warehousing, packing and shipping with you. Setup guide | Who sets up the first campaign, and what does the customer have to do? |
| Support | Email support at [email protected]. Assisted and Fully Managed customers work with our team directly. Contact | Which support channels and response times are in the contract? |
