What's the difference between Rwazi and Ipsos?

Ipsos runs brand tracking and concept testing for companies worldwide, assessing how a brand is performing and how a new concept lands, on a set study cadence. Rwazi powers the decisions enterprises run on, across 190+ countries. Sena makes each one defensible: real activity from a 5M+ consumer network, verified by computer vision, and goes through a QA flow before it reaches your desk.

Ipsos tells you how your brand is tracking and how a concept scores. Sena adds the other half: what the market is actually buying right now, and the call on the launch you are weighing, with the evidence attached.

Score, then decide

A concept test tells you how the idea lands with people. Sena weighs that launch against live market signals and returns the call, so the go decision stands on what the market is actually doing, not the concept score alone.

Perception, next to purchase

A tracking wave flags a dip in one market. Sena captures what buying did there in the same weeks, so you know whether the perception problem is a revenue problem.

A decision, returned

Ipsos delivers a study for your team to interpret. Sena weighs it alongside live signals and hands back the call itself, with the evidence attached.

Where Ipsos reaches its edges

Ipsos is a strong choice for structured brand tracking and concept testing at global scale. Teams look for an Ipsos alternative when a few specific decisions sit outside a study cadence.

Demand sensing

Live movement between the studies.

Brand tracking lands in waves, so the shift that starts between two waves surfaces in the next one.

Concept validation

Concept scores grounded in real activity.

A concept score tells you how the idea lands; how the launch performs against live buying is a separate test.

Global expansion and portfolio decisions

Global cross-market, cross-category decisions in one place.

Built around structured programs by specialism, so a question spanning many countries and categories calls for a single, always-on view.

Executive decision support

The decision itself, drawn from the study.

The study lands; turning it into one recommendation before the launch meeting is still your team's week.

Custom decision support

Bespoke decision questions.

Built around standardized study frameworks, so questions outside the framework wait for a custom study.

How Rwazi helps where the gap shows

A bespoke decision question, answered directly.

The wave lands in eight weeks, and the question is on the table today. Ask Sena, and it captures live activity first-hand across the exact markets you name, and answers with the evidence attached.

Concept scores, grounded in real activity.

Your concept scored well, and the launch is a committed budget. Sena weighs it against what those markets are buying now and returns the call, before the spend is committed.

Between the tracking waves, live.

Usage is where brand questions get answered. Rwazi captures real consumption occasions across those markets, with the dated photo and context behind each signal, so the brand picture stands on observed life alongside the tracking.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Rwazi and Ipsos?+

Ipsos runs brand tracking and concept testing for companies worldwide, assessing how a brand is performing and how a new concept lands, on a set study cadence. Rwazi captures consent-based consumer activity across 190+ countries and every category, and Sena turns it into evidence-backed decisions. Ipsos tells you how your brand is tracking; Sena shows what the market is buying now and hands back the call on the move you are weighing.

How current is Ipsos data?+

Ipsos delivers on a study cadence and runs continuous tracking programs in its coverage, which suits brand and concept work. Sena runs on the market's clock: live capture across 190+ countries, so the movement between two waves is visible while there is still time to act.

Does Rwazi replace brand tracking and concept testing?+

Most teams keep their brand tracking and concept testing, and add Sena as well. Ipsos tells you how a brand is tracking and how a concept scores; Sena captures what the market is buying and turns both into the decision. The two sit together well.

What is zero-party data?+

Zero-party data is information people hand over themselves, with consent. Rwazi gathers consumer activity this way across 190+ countries, so every signal is yours to use and traces back to a named source. That consent and traceability is what lets Sena stand behind every decision it returns.

Do Rwazi and Ipsos publish pricing?+

Both price by plan and scope rather than a public list. The cheapest way to compare is a scoped pilot: one market or one category, your own question, and the answer in front of you before you commit anything larger. To know more about pricing, click here.

What does Ipsos do?+

Ipsos runs brand tracking, concept and product testing, and broad market understanding for companies across many specialisms and countries. For structured brand and concept work, it is one of the names global teams default to, which is exactly why teams keep it.

Which is better for global or cross-category teams?+

It depends on the decision. For structured brand tracking and concept testing, Ipsos is built for exactly that, and teams keep it. For a decision that spans many countries and categories and turns on live buying, Sena is the better fit: it captures the activity and returns the call with the evidence. Most global teams run both.

How is Rwazi's Decision AI different from a delivered study?+

A study gives your team a considered result to interpret. Sena does the interpreting: it weighs the study alongside live signals and returns the call with the evidence attached, current as the market moves.

How do you know the data is representative?+

Every signal comes from a real person who shares it directly, with consent, carrying a geo-tag and a timestamp. An automated falsification check and a multi-step QA flow verify each one before it reaches Sena, and coverage is weighted by contributor density and geography. Many answers open to the dated photo behind the number.
