Lyssna (formerly UsabilityHub)

User research platform for rapid design testing with five-second tests, first-click tests, and prototype testing.

Overview

Lyssna (formerly UsabilityHub) is a user research platform that enables teams to test designs with real users for fast, actionable feedback. The platform offers a suite of testing methods including five-second testing, first-click testing, surveys, navigation testing, prototype testing with Figma, card sorting, tree testing, and preference testing.

Lyssna provides quick turnaround on design validation — teams can get feedback in hours rather than weeks. The platform includes a built-in panel for recruiting participants or allows teams to use their own panel. Results include visualizations like click maps, completion rates, and response analytics.

Pricing starts at $75/month (billed annually) for the Standard plan, with the Basic plan at $89/month and the Scale plan at $199/month. Lyssna is more affordable and flexible than enterprise platforms like UserZoom, with no steep buy-in costs, making it accessible for teams without large research budgets.
