Considered Both Products
Lyssna
Chose Lyssna
Lyssna is certainly the least expensive, most basic and easy to use out of the range of usability tools I have used in the past. Depending on your maturity as a business and the projects that you are doing, this can be a great starting point before scaling up.
Chose Lyssna
Maze has a more comprehensive reporting presentation compared to Usabilityhub. Maze's interface is clean and modern but it lacks a simple intuitive testing set found in UsabilityHub. The terminology of a maze is slightly confusing, flow tests are integrated with only Figma, Xd, …
Chose Lyssna
I've not found any other tools as good as UsabilityHub. I've experienced some tools that have some similar functionalities, but they don't let you add multiple formats of questions in one test (as far as I'm aware.)
Chose Lyssna
Like UsabilityHub, VWO is a testing platform but it tests against a site's users, not a set pool of testers. There is more flexibility for testing with VWO as you could use a WYSIWIG/edit HTML/CSS to make changes to a live site vs. UsabilityHub where'd you have to upload image …
Chose Lyssna
UsabilityHub provides very fast, short responses to specific questions about a static image of a website. This is useful for checking what is most prominent on a page, what they would click on, what they see/read within the first 5 seconds of landing etc. WhatUsersDo is a …
Maze
Chose Maze
We left sprig to use maze because sprig had unreliable Figma questions and integrations. We chose maze as it was partnered with Dovetail and Askable, that's how we heard about them. We're not particularly loyal or wedded to maze.
Chose Maze
We ran a proof of concept exercise between Maze User Testing and Optimal Workshop. We found both products to be as good as each other in the elements of the products that both offered. Optimal Workshop did offer a lot more than what was required for the specific project for …
Chose Maze
A lookback is an alternative option if you think Maze User Testing is quite expensive for you, but look back has a different approach to Maze User Testing. Lookback focuses on qualitative usability testing instead of quantitative UserTesting. And also, Maze User Testing has a …
Chose Maze
Maze User Testing is brilliant to test with a large volume of people and if you’re not after particular qualitative insights, like UserTesting would offer. The card sorting feature is basic and not as mature as Optimal Workshop would offer but it does the job and can be used in …
Chose Maze
When looking for tools that could help us understand our customers better, we needed something that would be easy to use, had the functionality and flexibility of running multiple types of tests and exercises, and allowed our team to be able to do these tests quickly. Only Maze …
Chose Maze
Figma helps to design and prototype out the concept but it does not allow to facilitate feedback gathering on a specific UI or even UX decision. That's where Maze comes into the picture with it's vaious features that helps to get the right insight to build a better product in a …
Chose Maze
UserTesting
  • Expensive
  • Not as modern a UX as Maze for contributors, stakeholders, and testers

I think it's well suited to any scenario where something requires feedback, whether it's exploratory feedback of current designs or validation that a new design solves a problem & additional feedback can be gathered to make it even better. I'd recommend UsabilityHub to anybody who isn't 100% sure on a design, and if they are, they need to use it to confirm that certainty.

Suited for: - I think that this software is a must-have for any experience or product designer that needs validation from any audience - Designers that rapidly prototype with Figma - Designers looking to establish an inexpensive way to deliver on user testing Less appropriate for: - If you are looking for a survey replacement this is probably not for you even though it does that quite well, simply due to the cost. Google Forms would be a more fiscal choice. - Marketing visual designers who are adept at visual builder tools (WebFlow, Divi, Elementor, etc) with A/B testing ability would probably find other products more valuable.

Usability
Due to its simplicity and design it is really easy to navigate. You can clearly understand which sections you have completed and which are still left to be done. It is also really easy to change ordering of content etc, which I have found hasn’t been an option in other tools which means it is a really lengthy task of rewriting all of the tasks or questions to get them in the correct order that is desired.

Alternatives Considered
Maze has a more comprehensive reporting presentation compared to Usabilityhub. Maze's interface is clean and modern but it lacks a simple intuitive testing set found in UsabilityHub. The terminology of a Maze is slightly confusing, flow tests are integrated with only Figma, Xd, Invision, Sketch, and Marvel prototypes. The final test interface shown to users is confusing and could have been simpler like UsabilityHub.

When looking for tools that could help us understand our customers better, we needed something that would be easy to use, had the functionality and flexibility of running multiple types of tests and exercises, and allowed our team to be able to do these tests quickly. Only Maze could really tick all the above boxes.

Return on Investment
  • Positive - It would give us responses significantly faster than testing out a concept on a live site
  • Positive - It allowed us to reach a wider audience for our tests (beyond our website traffic)
  • Positive - The quick turnaround time and quality of feedback encouraged other internal units to want to test more as they saw the return quickly.

  • You are able to validate your project or design with a maze User Testing. Maze User Testing is an all-in-one usability tool platform.
  • You are able to create a multi-scenario for a free option with limited features.
  • Pricing is quite expensive. if they have an option for less than $99/month. A freelancer or small company can consider using it.
