What’s the difference between Rwazi and Ipsos?

Ipsos is one of the world’s established authorities on designed research. It runs studies across brand, innovation, advertising, and qualitative work, with probability-based sampling.

Rwazi is the decision AI that sees the real world. Sena connects the data you already run with real-world signals from 190+ countries. It reads across your CRM, ERP, dashboards, and files through 250+ integrations.

A 5M+ consumer network shares consent-based activity. Computer vision captures conditions where people buy. A multi-step QA flow verifies every signal, and every answer traces to a signal you can inspect.

Ipsos asks the market structured questions and reads the answers well. Rwazi reads what the market does. Sena reasons across both hands, backing the next move with the evidence.

Two questions, both worth asking

Where does Ipsos reach its edges?

Ipsos is the established standard for designed research. It is the right instrument for questions that need a study built around them. Teams look for an Ipsos alternative when the decision turns on what people are doing.

What gets measured

The answer and the act

A well-designed study tells you what people say when asked. The purchase itself sits in a different lane: what was bought, at what price, and what won the moment. That read comes from the market.

In-store conditions

The store sits outside the study

Product presence, real prices, and stock on hand exist in the store itself. A research instrument leaves them aside by design. They decide once someone captures them there.

The gap between saying and doing

Stated preference meets the purchase

What people report in a study and what they reach for can differ. That is why a strong concept score and a soft launch can arrive together. Capture closes the gap by reading the choice itself.

The next question

When one answer raises another

A study answers the question it was designed around. The follow-up becomes the next study, with its own design and timeline. Capture answers to a new question directly, in the same pass.

Source

How far you can open the number

Study design and sampling method are a real form of evidence, and they carry weight in the boardroom. A different question needs a different proof. It is the individual signal, the person who shared it, and the dated photo.

How Rwazi finds the gap

Read beyond what people choose and say

Your studies tell you how people react to the idea. Ask Sena what happened at the point of purchase. Rwazi shows what people bought, what they paid, and which brand took the sale.

Read the market and reason across your data

Sena reads conditions where people buy from verified photos: product presence, pricing, and availability. It connects that to the data you already run. It reasons across all of it and hands back the move.

Know the market you want to enter

Your study covers the markets it was scoped for. Rwazi captures across 190+ countries. Rwazi reads the new and mature markets in the same pass.

Designed studies answer the question they were built around, and a well-run study answers it well. Teams weigh an Ipsos alternative when the decision turns on what people are doing: what sold this month, what price won, and what is happening in a market before a study can be scoped.
