Solid is a user testing solution featuring Anna, a virtual avatar, that moderates tests for the user. Solid allows researchers to run tests where testers don't behave unnaturally. They are not told to read scripts or think aloud in unusual sequences. This hurts their testing experience.

Lookback
Best suited to conduct remote interviews that are moderated and facilitated by the interviewer/researcher.
Not the best if you want to do it unmoderated, there are much more sophisticated tools out there.

Otherwise it’s a great tool

Zoom was way more expensive and it o is designed to other things apart from just running qualitative interviews. It also requires a different kind of approval and different approval processes to go through when trying to get it simply for qualitative research purposes.
Lookback records, scribes, helps observe and provides a sentiment check as well in the price that it does
