Reduct
vs
Dovetail
Dovetail's constant changes in their interface and pricing structure is confusing a lot of user research teams.
Reduct's AI transcription, search, tagging, clustering, live capture and video editing features are far more advanced than Dovetail's video capabilities and are available in our self-serve Standard plan, starting at just $24/month.

Reduct.Video excels in research interview editing capabilities, offering features such as text-based video editing, search, highlighting, tagging, and topical reel creation. These features enable user researchers to easily compile and share insights from user interviews, with a user experience that's much smoother and intuitive compared to Dovetail.
Reduct.Video offers competitive pricing with plans starting at $24 per month, which includes features that Dovetail reserves for its more expensive enterprise tier. If you want SOC2, SSO, and other enterprise features, even our enterprise pricing is transparent at $75/editor per month and cheaper than Dovetail. This transparent pricing model allows you to know exactly what charges you will incur and start using the app without having to talk to a salesperson.
On Reduct, multiple researchers can highlight, tag, and cluster insights in an infinite 2D canvas in real-time. We also offer granular role-based access control at project-level and org-level, and single sign-on (SSO) for large enterprise accounts.
If you have a lot of video on Dovetail and need some suggestions, a solutions engineer can jump on a call with you and guide you to export your data out of Dovetail (they make it very hard to do it!). Reduct.Video can import from your hardrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, and Zoom Cloud Storage, but we don't have a way to directly import recordings from Dovetail, and we don't support PDFs.
Optionally, we offer LLM-based features (such as summarization, suggested highlights / tags, and "Ask"), powered by OpenAI. This usage is protected by a data processing agreement between Reduct and OpenAI in which OpenAI promises that they will not train any models on your data, nor retain it more than 30 days.
