One announcement, one crowd, one report. A $29 simulation is the product for buyers who need a reaction, not a monthly seat.
Most research tools sell a platform. Monthly seats. Annual contracts. A login that exists so the tenth study is cheaper than the first.
That is the right product if you run a research function every week. It is the wrong product if you have one message that needs a simulated crowd.
CrowdProof sells that second product: one simulation, $29, paid once. No monthly contract.
The job is one reaction
The buyer is not shopping for a research stack. The buyer has a line of copy, a pricing change, a pitch, or a protocol brief, and a decision attached to it.
Ship it, rewrite it, or hold it.
A survey panel can collect isolated answers. A monthly platform can warehouse those answers across a year of studies. Neither is required to watch a crowd argue about one stimulus.
CrowdProof is a simulated-crowd platform. You paste the text. A simulated crowd reacts, posts, and forms factions. You can watch a running crowd in God Mode. A pending, finished, failed, or stopped run is not live.
That is the whole job. One message in. One crowd. One record of how they split.
A platform contract answers a different question
A seat license assumes you will keep coming back. It prices the habit, not the decision.
Research shops, campaign desks, and product teams often do not have that habit. They have a Friday. They have a client review. They have a launch window. They need a crowd on this wording, not a dashboard they will ignore until the next quarter.
Paying $39, $99, or $249 a month for that moment is a category error. You are buying unused capacity so you can run a single test.
The one-simulation offer is priced for the moment: $29, once. You get 500 simulated people, 20 rounds, and 3 platforms. You do not get a subscription. You do not get a seat. You get the run.
If you later need a monthly cadence, Pricing still lists Free at $0 (2 simulations, 100 people, 1 platform), Pro at $39/mo, Team at $99/mo, and Enterprise at $249/mo. Those plans are for buyers who will run again. They are not a gate in front of the first crowd.
What one simulation actually is
The SKU is not a teaser and it is not a seat trial. It is a full run at a fixed size.
- 500 simulated people
- 20 rounds
- 3 platforms
- Pay once
- No monthly contract
You paste an announcement, a pricing change, or a pitch. The engine builds the crowd, writes a seed post, and lets agents read, reply, and take sides. Factions form from those stances. On a running crowd, God Mode shows the feed, the camps, and the sentiment as it moves. A pending, finished, failed, or stopped run is not live.
When the crowd finishes, CrowdProof writes a synthesis report. A stopped or failed run has no report. That is the same rule as every other run on the site.
You can score a finished run against a real survey later if you want a receipt. Scoring is optional. Unscored runs stay unscored. The how-to lives in Validation & Surveys. The public record of scored runs lives on /accuracy. None of that is required to buy the crowd.
Who this is for
Independent researchers and research shops. You have one stimulus and a client who will not fund a platform. Buy the run. Deliver the report. Do not invoice a seat license you will not use.
Campaign, comms, and launch people. You have one line that is about to go public. You want to see which faction a simulated crowd creates. One message is one simulation. Side-by-side A/B tests with one shared crowd stay on Team and Enterprise, because that is a different job: two variants, one crowd, two credits.
Product and validation people. You need a crowd reaction as a check, not a research platform in the stack. Paste the feature note or the price. On a running crowd, people split over it. A pending, finished, failed, or stopped run is not live. When the crowd finishes you get a report. A stopped or failed run has no report. If the check becomes a habit, upgrade. If it does not, you already paid for the one decision.
These are three doors into the same SKU. The pages are /research, /campaign, and /validation. The checkout is the same: Buy one simulation.
What you are not buying
You are not buying a monthly allotment you have to use up. Unused monthly credits reset; this purchase is one run, not a bank of unused seats.
You are not buying a census-calibrated panel or a claimed accuracy grade. CrowdProof is an emergent social simulation. Agents interact. Camps form. Posts can go viral inside the run. That is a different method from a survey of isolated synthetic respondents. Compare the methods on /compare if you need that distinction for a procurement note.
You are not buying shared-crowd A/B. One simulation is one stimulus. If you need two wordings against one shared crowd, that is Team and Enterprise on Pricing.
You are not buying Enterprise API keys, completion webhooks, or a 5,000-person ceiling. Those stay on the monthly Enterprise plan.
The point of the SKU is the constraint. One decision. One crowd. One price.
How the buy works
The button says Buy one simulation. It starts checkout for the $29 run. After payment you land on /sim/new?purchased=1, sign in with the email you used at checkout, and launch that run.
If checkout cannot start, the button says so. The offer does not disappear. The path is still the one-sim buy, not a free-wizard detour.
Cancel returns you to the page you bought from: Pricing, this post, or one of the buyer pages. Monthly plans stay one click away for anyone who actually needs them.
The close
You do not need a platform contract to see how a crowd will react to one message.
One simulation is the product for that buyer: $29, 500 people, 20 rounds, 3 platforms, paid once.
