By the Planetarium team · We publish this page and sell in this category

Key takeaways

  • Planetarium: half of studies in about 34 seconds. Electric Twin: answers in seconds once your audience is built.
  • Planetarium starts at $99 a month, first test free. Electric Twin publishes no price.
  • Electric Twin reports 92% on NDAM, their stricter measure, against a 94% human ceiling, from its own test. Planetarium was right 87 times in 100 when it names a winner (575 of 660). Different tests, so not one ranking.

How accurate is Electric Twin?

92% on NDAM, their stricter measure, against a 94% human ceiling. The figure comes from its own test: their accuracy page; they also report 96% on 1 minus mean absolute error. Led by Prof. Michael Muthukrishna (LSE and NYU), their Chief Science Adviser; pre-registered, with human data collected independently by Stack Data Strategy.

Planetarium was right 87 times in 100 when it names a winner (575 of 660), on 1,500 published news-headline A/B tests (Upworthy, 2013 to 2015), held out and scored once (October 2026). It named a winner on 660 and called the other 840 too close. Headlines only. The full record is on the accuracy page.

When is Electric Twin the better choice?

  • You already have deep research on your customers and want a model trained on it.
  • You want unlimited questions on the same audience under one license.
  • You need ISO 27001 today, or work in a government setting.

When should you choose Planetarium?

  • You do not have a research archive, or want audiences beyond your own customers.
  • You want to test a live website or an ad, not only ask questions.
  • You want to start free and pay by the month at a published price.

How much does Electric Twin cost?

License with unlimited questions, priced by audiences built and seats. No figure on the site.

Planetarium is self-serve by card: Starter $99, Pro $399, Growth $999 a month. First test free. See pricing.

How was this page made?

We publish this page and sell in this category. Every claim about another company comes from that company’s own public pages, or a paper or partner report it cites, read on October 27, 2026, and each is listed below. Where a company publishes nothing on a point, the page says so; that does not mean it cannot do it.

Each company measures accuracy its own way, on its own tests, so the figures are shown side by side but never ranked as one league table. We did not trial the other products. Our own figures are the ones on our pricing and accuracy pages. Something out of date? Tell us through the contact page and we will correct it.

Frequently asked questions

Why not just ask a general AI model?

In our October 2026 test on 421 YouTube videos, Planetarium's error on the mix of comments was 15 to 27% lower than each of 6 leading models asked directly. Planetarium answers as 17,849 ready-made audiences built from people observed online, and says "too close" when it cannot tell.

How can Planetarium show a price from $99 when most here do not?

The audiences are built before you arrive, so there is no project to scope and no audience to build for you. You run the test yourself; half of studies come back in about 34 seconds. Plans start at $99 a month, first test free. Most of the others scope and price each engagement after a demo.

Can these accuracy figures be compared with each other?

Not as one ranking. Each company tests itself its own way, on its own questions, with its own measure, so a higher number on one site is not a better result than a lower one on another. Read what each figure measures, then ask each supplier to run your own past study.

Should synthetic research replace real people?

No. Use it to test many versions fast and cheaply, then take the best to real people when the decision is large. Where a decision needs real people's own words, a platform such as Remesh is the better choice.
