Overall, it's been a good tool to help with unmoderated testing and can help get people who aren't involved in the process more excited.
Pros
UsabilityHub makes unmoderated test pretty easy. It also lets you purchase credits to pay for tests. This can make things simple when you don't do a ton of unmoderated testing, but need to do some.
Cons
I don't have any huge cons. For the price, it's great. I wish they had some more features, but they add more all the time.

It's been my go-to tool for quick turn-around feedback from 'strangers'. I'm able to customise some general panel requirements.
Pros
How easy to use and the options available for different types of surveys and usability tests. Honestly it's one of the easiest tools out there and should be a must for any designer/researcher.
Cons
Credits can add up, but at least it gives you freedom without being constricted to a monthly plan. In the Demographics settings (customising panel recruiting), I wish there was an option of 'all BUT X' so I don't have to select/include several of a demographic's categories just so one is excluded.

Nice tool, great customer support, some complaints
Reviewed on 2025/02/10
Pros
Lyssna has great variety in what types of activities you can organize. It's easy to set something up and the preview works great. The layout is clean and without clutter, allowing you to focus on what you're doing. The price is affordable. Setting up a variation test was easy as well and was a very helpful feature. The customer service is also very helpful and friendly with quick response time.
Cons
The pricing is a bit confusing, especially when you add in the existence of credits and time limits. When self-recruiting, it felt limiting to have to fit my test in a certain time-limit which was based upon the types of questions I was adding to my test. This seemed overly complicated and had me altering my test (changing or removing questions) simply to fit within whatever time-limit they gave me with the plan I was on. I don't like that I couldn't change the layout or branding of the welcome screen. Additionally, when I add an image to the instructions in the survey, it remains very small with wasted space as a colored background around the edges of it while the expand button does not do anything.

Disappointing. Their customer service is responsive and fantastic, but that doesn't out compete their inflexible product pricing models. Additionally working across locations was painful and if you don't close all of your tabs out between teammates, it's a good chance you will lose all of your work and rebuild the study from scratch.
Pros
Loved the research templates and how immersive you can make the prototypes. Setting up the survey was easy!
Cons
The sneaking price increases, ended up having to use a higher tier to just get additional questions added (Even after paying over $150 for a basic monthly tier, I was still asked to pay more money for a basic set of foundational set of questions). I felt like I was scolded for not paying additional fees to leverage their own internal user testers instead of the ones that we recruited in-app, which is a backwards process.

I've been using Lyssna (formerly Usability Hub) for over 2 years. I've consistently been impressed by the speed and quality of responses for the many many different varieties of tests I'm able to setup. The ability to launch and get results for preference tests, first-click tests, or simple design surveys by EOD has been amazing not only in assisting our design team, but it promoting buy-in for research in general.
Pros
Easy to use. Very fast - both in regards to study setup and results.
Cons
Lacks some of the deeper audience filters present in other survey platforms.

It's been good. Easy purchase and set up, we have 5 seats and a high use for the design and research team.
Pros
Ease of use and full integration with figma, the pricing model is also very convenient
Cons
It does not have some types of questions like live usability test
Reasons for Choosing Lyssna
Because of the pricing model, they limited the use of the platform by responses and we got the same features with limitless responses in lyssna.Switched From

Lyssna has been incredibly responsive and iterative in their product. Every month there is a new feature, product improvement, or feedback taken from users. They are a UX company through and through.
Pros
Easy pay-as-you-go model, free version has a lot of capabilities for moderated testing, great templates for a variety of research methods
Cons
Build for prototype testing, not for live site testing, any unmoderated sessions are limited to ~2 minutes. Anything longer needs a paid subscription. Recording features and other necessary testing features are not implemented yet.

Overall pretty good! the self-serve part is the best, without having to go through long sales calls and waiting for responses to setup
Pros
it was great that now lyssna can record sessions as well ! and I can get started quickly self-served
Cons
the recording stops abruptly once the user reaches the 'goal', would be night to stay after maybe 10 sec more incase they got more to say.
Also not being able to record in free flow is a bummer

Easy to apply logic, easy to follow the answers, great that you can export the answers, great that there is integration with figma (but if prototypes are a big bigger they will never load, this is a huge minus), the word cloud,
Cons

Despite the minor drawbacks, Lyssna has proven to be a valuable tool for conducting user research. The platform's ability to support multiple test types, coupled with its user-friendly features and time-saving capabilities, make it a strong choice for researchers.
Pros
I like the diverse test types, including one-click tests, preference tests, and tree tests, which gives flexibility for different research needs.
I like how the templates accelerate the test creation process.
Access to a general audience pool with various filters (tech-savviness, device, industry) enables quick and efficient testing.
The ability to embed test links into CRM tools simplifies user recruitment and management.
Cons
Setting up prototype tests can be somewhat hard when it comes to Figma link acceptance.
The inability to conduct tests directly on live products can limit the realism of the testing experience.

Cons
They don't have a feature to send out invites to users that I am recruiting from within the platform. An in-platform CMS would truly be a wholistic solution.

It was my first experience and I found instructions easy to understand. However a quick demo to run or utilize the program to its core would be great.
Also, a quick and accessible tutorials on how to effectively use credits for usability testing would be great.
Pros
Combination of user testing. You can test prototype, run surveys, single clicks and much more. The data we gather is very comprehensive.
Cons
It is not cost effective for students. Also, interactive demo on credit could be very helpful in building project.
