MaxDiff

On-the-fly item ranking results (can be used in follow up questions, skip logic, etc.)
Anchored scaling (ask respondents whether items are important/not important or buy/no buy; otherwise the item scores are just relative scores)
Relevant items (show a customized subset of items to each respondent, i.e. most relevant items to the respondent's job function, number of items can differ across respondents)
Express (randomly choosing a subset of the total items to show to each respondent across all their MaxDiff sets)
Sparse (show each item 1 time per respondent instead of the usual 2-3 times)
Hierarchical Bayes utility estimation
Item scores report (with confidence intervals and segmentation)
TURF Analysis (an optimization search routine for finding optimal sets of items)
CBC
Up to 15 attributes per exercise
Up to 30 levels per attribute
None option – standard and dual-response
