I had a great experience using Lightster. My team was trying to narrow down the target customer for a product we were building and wanted to talk to people from outside our networks and fields - Lightster was the perfect solution. We were able to administer a survey to a large audience and gather insights - and if we had decided to proceed further we would have utilized the panel and interview features to dig deeper. However, with just a little bit of research we learned that our idea wasn’t solving a big enough problem so we ditched it. In a way, this product saved us tons of time and money.
Pros
Finding participants for our surveys is the hardest part of early market research - when me and my team are just trying to figure out if there is any promise to our idea/ product. Lightster gives us access to our target audience so we can conduct quick and cheap validation.
Cons
It is still an early stage company so some parts of the product are still a bit limited and manual. The quality of survey candidates can also vary - depending on what you’re looking for.

Simple user research recruitment
Reviewed on 21/10/2024
It has been great and would recommend them to anybody looking to do user research.
It has been great and would recommend them to anybody looking to do user research.
Pros
Lightster makes recruiting people for user research extremely simple and easy. Before working with them we had to manually reach out to people ourselves which is time consuming.
Cons
No fault of Lightster but sometimes it's difficult to know if people are the right fit until you speak with them. Job titles may be the same but every company is different.
