Experience Fuel Cycle’s customer-validated ROI

Fuel Cycle customers have opened the door to newfound cost savings, shedding unnecessary expenses, while enabling their business to rapidly increase their time-to-insights. 

Explore your insights potential!

"It would take us about 4-to-8 weeks to design, launch, and analyze research. Now, we typically get 90% of the responses from a project within the first 24-36 hours, which allows us to give our project teams insights they can take action on immediately."

Fuel Cycle’s mission is to unleash decision intelligence for legendary brands. We do this by enabling our customers to leverage the Research Engine, an industry-leading software platform that delivers unfettered access to any audience, coupled with a comprehensive set of quantitative and qualitative research tools, and advanced analysis capabilities.

Putting Dollars Back In Your Pocket

At Fuel Cycle, we’re dedicated to maximizing your financial potential. Our innovative and scalable research solutions consistently translate into real savings, helping you get more from your research budget.

Our customers have experienced a 5-10X cost savings partnering with Fuel Cycle.

In the first year of investing in a research community, customers typically see a minimum of 150% return on investment compared to traditional research.

Direct Economic Impact

The Research Engine enables brands to significantly increase the volume of insights they can gather relative to typical market research processes led by an agency. We help our customers estimate cost comparison of conducting research via Fuel Cycle relative to typical pricing. Pricing data comes from ESOMAR, the global market research industry organization.

The outcome is that Fuel Cycle customers can typically run 5-10 times more
research projects on the same budget than they’d otherwise be able to.

“We ran 16 studies in 2022, and I calculated it out – we ran a million dollars’ worth of research for about $120,000. So we got a huge, huge payoff for our investment in the community and it really allows me to help my stakeholders so much faster than if I were using a vendor.”

“If we would have brought in an external partner to do this work, it would have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars – it would have been really expensive. And frankly, that is money that a startup is not going to spend.”
Sr. Consumer Insights ManagerRo.co
“The community has more than paid for itself in the first three months of use. We have been able to conduct more research in less time. The cycle time for results has been reduced by more than two-thirds.”

“What we’re getting hit with lately is ‘I need this next week’. And in the past, we’ve been unable to fulfill this request because gosh, who can just turn around a research request in a week? But now, with the community, we’re able to do that more. We’re able to fulfill more of the requests quickly.”
Sr. Manager, InsightsT-Mobile
“The platform is so flexible and we’re able to kind of streamline that process from where it might take weeks to coordinate, weeks to get those dates on the calendar, weeks to get that launch process out – now we can do that in a matter of hours. Instead of only doing 1 survey a week or month, we’re able to launch up to 6-8 activities a week to tap into these insights and get them.”

“[Fuel Cycle] ruined my stakeholders’ thoughts of me using vendors because the vendor timeline is 6 weeks and [with Fuel Cycle] I can knock out a very similar project in 4-5 business days.”
