Maze
Best for quick usability testing
Rapid unmoderated testing with AI synthesis built in.
Editorial note
Mid-level designers who run their own quick studies stop being the 'design resource' and start being the decision-maker.
Why we recommend it
Fastest way to validate a Figma prototype with real users — no recruiting headache.

Attention Insight
Best for pre-launch attention testing
Predict where users will look before launch with AI heatmaps.
Editorial note
A nice 'show your work' tool — drop a predicted heatmap into a critique and watch the conversation level up.
Lookback
Best for moderated remote interviews
Moderated user interviews with built-in note-taking and clips.
Editorial note
Lookback's highlight reels turn a 45-min interview into a 3-min stakeholder share. That's how research influences decisions.
Optimal Workshop
Best for information architecture testing
Card sorting, tree testing, and IA validation in one suite.
Editorial note
Pricey for solo use, but no one credibly does IA validation any other way. Try the trial during a real project.
