Reduct
vs
Marvin
Marvin is a popular qualitative research tool, but you’ll have to cough up at least $6000 for the Standard plan if you are a team of 5 or fewer.
Reduct, on the other hand, offers a centralized qualitative research repository for a team of 5 at just $2400—with a month-to-month subscription option. Plus, in this plan, your team gets essential features like redaction that Marvin lacks.
Research teams love the power of video
With Reduct, they also love working with video, finding deeper insights, telling more resonant stories, and building a research repository for long-term use.

Light up your company Slack with research insights
Reduct takes the lead when it comes to turning lengthy interviews into quick, shareable videos for Slack.
You can compile clips with simple drag-and-drop, and strike through text to cut parts or apply irreversible redactions—all while keeping the integrity of your interviews intact. While Marvin is great at handling various types of data, it doesn't offer this same level of video-centric functionality.

“The nice thing about Reduct is that you can go back into the transcripts, find those keywords, highlight them, create clips and then stitch those clips together so quickly.”
