Where Decibl Wins

Multi-purpose platform

User research is one of six Decibl use cases. The same platform also handles training, screening, and compliance — one tool, one bill.

Real-time rubric scoring

Decibl scores every session against a defined rubric immediately after it ends. Listen Labs focuses on synthesis, not scoring.

Simpler setup

Write a prompt, share a link. No research workflow configuration, no repository integration required to run your first session.

Training use case included

Decibl can train your UX team on interview technique in the same platform they use to run interviews.

Honest Take: Who Should Use Which?

Choose Listen Labs if…

Your primary job is running and synthesising user research at scale and you need dedicated tagging, themes, and repository integration.

Choose Decibl if…

You want AI interviews as part of a broader platform — alongside training, screening, and scoring — without managing multiple tools.

See the difference for yourself.

Takes 5 minutes to set up. No calls to schedule, no software to install.
