The short version
- Each has a real cost: Aurelius aurelius does not recruit participants or run unmoderated studies, so it is always a second tool alongside a testing or recruitment platform and never the whole research budget.; Remesh pricing is not published and third-party estimates put annual contracts in the tens of thousands of dollars, which puts it out of reach for teams that only run occasional qualitative studies and cannot commit to an annual platform fee.
- They diverge on capability: Aurelius covers Research repository, Remesh covers Live moderated sessions.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Aurelius
- Aurelius does not recruit participants or run unmoderated studies, so it is always a second tool alongside a testing or recruitment platform and never the whole research budget.
- Integrations are thin, with Zapier, Jira and Slack rather than direct connections to the call recording and testing tools most teams already run, so getting material in often means manual upload.
- The tag vocabulary is only as good as the discipline applied to it, and repositories where several researchers invent overlapping tags become unsearchable within a year with no built-in governance to prevent it.
- Unlimited users is genuinely unlimited but permissions are basic below Enterprise, so a team that needs client-safe or stakeholder-only views has to buy the quoted tier for something that reads as a table-stakes control.
- It is a small independent vendor competing with much better funded repositories, which is a real procurement risk for an organisation storing years of research in it, and enterprise assurance material such as penetration test reports sits behind the top tier.
Remesh
- Pricing is not published and third-party estimates put annual contracts in the tens of thousands of dollars, which puts it out of reach for teams that only run occasional qualitative studies and cannot commit to an annual platform fee.
- The public review picture is inconsistent in a way worth investigating: a small number of positive buyer reviews on G2 sit alongside a poor Trustpilot rating driven mostly by participant complaints, so ask directly how participants are recruited and compensated before running a study on your own customers.
- Funding has slowed sharply, from a 25 million USD round in 2021 to a 4.25 million USD round in late 2022, so procurement teams at large organisations should expect to run a vendor viability review.
- The collective dialogue mechanic rewards views that many participants recognise and vote for, which systematically under-weights genuinely novel minority insight, so it is a poor fit for exploratory discovery work where the outlier is the point.
- The discussion guide builder, especially spreadsheet import, is reported as unreliable, and because sessions are live with recruited participants a tooling failure during setup is expensive rather than merely annoying.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Aurelius: Does the price really include unlimited users?
Yes. Professional at 49 US dollars a month and Premium at 199, both billed yearly, both with unlimited users, projects and storage.
Remesh: How many people can join one session?
Sessions are designed for several hundred participants at once, which is the core reason to choose it over a conventional focus group.
Aurelius: Can I run usability tests in it?
No. Aurelius stores and analyses research; it does not recruit participants or host sessions. Pair it with a testing tool.
Remesh: Does it publish pricing?
No. Contracts are quoted annually, typically scoped by session volume, and third-party estimates place them in the tens of thousands of dollars per year.
Aurelius: What is the difference between Professional and Premium?
Premium adds universal cross-project search, collections, recommendations and Zapier. If your value comes from finding old research, Premium is the tier that delivers it.
Remesh: Can it replace a survey?
Not entirely. It produces open-ended language with agreement percentages, which is stronger than a survey for understanding reasoning but weaker for precise population estimates.
Aurelius: Is there single sign-on?
Only on Enterprise, along with IP allowlisting, Jira and advanced permissions. Everything below is quoted separately.
Remesh: Does Remesh recruit participants for me?
Yes, through On-Demand Recruit, typically delivering a panel within about 24 hours, or you can bring your own list.
