How to choose

Which research methods does it support?

Choose a tool whose research methods match the questions your team needs to answer.

Compare research methods, usability testing, and participant recruitment. These are separate points to check, so confirm the capabilities that matter for your work.

Do I need session recording or journey mapping?

Look for session recording to review product use and journey mapping to represent a user's path through an experience.

Compare these capabilities with your research needs rather than assuming one replaces the other.

Which platforms does it need to run on?

Choose a tool that supports the platforms your team and participants need to use.

The board compares web, Android, iOS, API, extension, and macOS support. Check the platform marks against your setup before deciding.

Can I try it before paying?

Check whether the tool has a free plan or a free trial, and compare its paid starting price where one is listed.

Pricing can be on request or shown in a currency and billing period. Read the pricing note to understand the terms provided.

Does it have an API or open-source code?

If your team needs a public API or open-source code, check those marks for the tool you are considering.

An API lets other software connect to a tool; open-source code can be inspected under its license. Confirm the details you need before choosing.
