Try DDM out
Create a free account on our EU-hosted, GDPR-compliant platform and see how it works.
Free accounts include one project with up to five test participants—enough to explore the full workflow. When you're ready to run your study, upgrading is easy.
You can also host DDM yourself: DDM is open-source and can be installed on your own server. Self-hosting requires technical knowledge (server setup, Django, database) and access to reliable infrastructure.
