How to choose

Which study modes does it support?

Choose a tool whose study modes fit the task, such as gathering feedback on a prototype or testing a mobile experience. Compare prototype testing and mobile testing before you decide.

How can I recruit participants?

Check whether participant recruitment is included and what participant sources are available. This matters if you need the tool to help find people for a study rather than bring your own participants.

Which platforms does it need to run on?

Confirm that the tool works on the platform you plan to use. The category covers web and mobile options, and some tools also list API, macOS, or Windows support.

Do I need session recordings or transcripts?

Compare session recording and automatic transcription if you need to review participant activity or read a written record. Check the tool's feature details to see what it provides.

How much does user testing software cost?

Pricing varies: some listings show a free plan or trial, while others give a paid starting price or say pricing is on request. For example, Ballpark lists a 14-day trial, while Great Question lists pricing from $129 per user per month and a 14-day trial.

Check whether a free plan is available and whether a trial is offered; they are different ways to try a product.

Questions

What is user testing software used for?

It helps teams gather feedback through studies such as prototype or mobile testing, with features that may include participant recruitment, session recording, and transcription.

How do I choose a user testing tool?

Compare study modes, participant recruitment and sources, platform support, prototype or mobile testing, session recording, and automatic transcription against your needs.

Does user testing software have a free plan?

Free plans and free trials vary by product. Check the listing for the tool you are considering; a trial is not the same as an ongoing free plan.

What platforms do user testing tools support?

The category includes tools for web and mobile platforms. Some also list API, macOS, or Windows support, so confirm compatibility for the specific product.

Are user testing tools open source or available through an API?

API availability and open-source status are separate marks to compare. Check the individual tool listing for those details.
