Overall Satisfaction with UsabilityHub

It is being used to optimise our website. We send screenshots to UsabilityHub to test the design, copy and features like call-to-action buttons. It helps us to get very quick feedback from real users - especially when needing to test if a page is too cluttered or if the copy is clear.
  • Very fast - you can have responses in minutes.
  • Very easy and straightforward to use. The interface is clear and intuitive.
  • They offer suggestions for questions that are effective, which is very helpful for a first time user.
  • If you want to [do a] review for UsabilityHub it is hard as their database is oversaturated. I was signed in every day for a week and never got asked to take a test.
  • It is difficult for them to vet their testers, so some reviews can lack quality.
  • The main thing it doesn't offer is video/audio recorded, immediate feedback, which sometimes gets better insights than when someone has to think about an answer and type it out.
  • It has helped us to improve click-through rates on our CTA - which has increased conversions.
  • It has helped our homepage copy become much clearer, so visitors immediately understand what our company offers.
  • It has informed the design of our website, as previously users found it too plain and monochrome.
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 broader tool, that records the screen and audio as a user navigates the website. You can set tasks and ask questions, but it much more about the user journey experience and their opinion, rather than testing a particular feature. Feedback also takes a bit longer. Hotjar is a combination of both, its a screen recording which helps you to see where users click and move to, but there is no audio or text feedback, just heatmaps/click maps for watching user behaviour.
I would recommend UsabilityHub for anyone that wants fast responses from real people about the immediate effectiveness of their design, copy, media, and buttons - especially for improving bounce rate and navigation issues. I would not recommend it if you need a more in-depth analysis, for example, user journeys throughout your website or more complex commentary.
