The honest version: FlexMR is strong for managed insight communities and online qual, blending platform tools with agency support for ongoing programmes.

But participants engage through a web portal they have to log into. Yazi keeps engagement in WhatsApp, which is why response and completion stay high, especially in mobile-first markets.
