Once you know what you need, you can compare different online focus group software based on their features and prices. Consider the ability to recruit and screen participants from your target market, the flexibility to conduct synchronous or asynchronous sessions, the functionality to record, transcribe, and archive the sessions for later review and analysis, the tools to moderate, engage, and probe the participants during the session, the options to use audio, video, text, or multimedia stimuli to elicit responses, the integration with other software or platforms that you use for your marketing research, such as surveys, analytics, or CRM ,the security and privacy measures to protect your data and comply with ethical and legal standards as well as the support and training available from the software provider. Moreover, don't forget your budget when making a decision. Compare prices and plans of different software to see what they offer in terms of features, quality, and value. You may even be able to test out the software through free trials or demos before committing.

4 Do a test run

Finally, the best way to find out if an online focus group software is right for your marketing research is to do a test run. You can use the free trial, demo, or discount option to set up a mock or pilot session with a small sample of participants. This will allow you to check the functionality, usability, and reliability of the software, and see how it works in practice. You can also use this opportunity to get feedback from your participants and see how they feel about the software and the session. Doing a test run will help you identify any issues, challenges, or improvements that you need to address before you launch your full-scale online focus group.

Finding the right online focus group software for your marketing research can be a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be. By following these tips, you can find and evaluate the software that suits your needs, goals, and budget, and conduct online focus groups that deliver valuable insights for your marketing strategy.
