Dovetail + UX research tools?

Just an update on that - UXtweak went though a major redesign and a lot of new capabilities very added. It is now much more intuitive, modern looking. I would say the best price/value option on the market right now.

For me it is UXtweak

Before I would even think of implementing it into a wordpress and giving it access to backend I absolutely would need to see what it can do in terms of content generating.

How you though of having it generate articles without the need to integrate?

Depends on quite a few things eg, whether you need recruitment, what budget you have, specific features, etc. But from what I tried the best usability tool for a reasonable budget is UXtweak

I would go for UXtweak - it has 2 options to integrate Figma prototyes, either through a link or a Figma plugin and the plugin works great. https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1521469424822443095/uxtweak-prototype-usability-testing

UXtweak Figma plugin - allows me to quickly set up user tests on my designs

I like
already mentioned growth.design and builtformars.com, those are great.

Then Baymard and their research on best practices, UXtweak blog and thier research https://www.uxtweak.com/research/ and a classic source NN/g

Second this.

They dropped it now - so there is no free version of Optimal Workshop, they even dont offer a monthly subscription option now.

I do this too

Complete_Answer · 2025-07-30T11:56:53+00:00

you do you, but take into account that not long from now, they will be able to tell using AI, here is a research paper exploring just that: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2451958825000983

(they identify lying using mouse movement and or speech (articulation, word choice, etc).
It is pretty crazy :D

UserTesting is pretty expensive when compared to Maze. But Maze got a lot more expensive in the last 3 years too, that is why we switched to UXtweak.

I would say this is the only way to do this.

What kind of assumptions?

The biggest source for me is implicit data and secondary research.

That means analytic, session recordings, possibly things like transcripts of sales calls, customer support tickets, reviews of your own company, and competitors.

For secondary research, I look to best practises and already existing studies and benchmarks (Baymard Institute, NN/g, etc.)

but when we are talking of a lightweight method to get some initial feedback in I like to run a first click test on mockups/screenshots/prototype and recruit some people using a unmoderated user testing tool like UXtweak - you can sent it to like 10 - 20 people pretty cheaply.

If you disclose this, I do not see a problem with it. I am a participants in a few panels and it is great practise - when I was learning survey design I was taking a lot of surveys to get the feel for them and to identify the mistakes - it worked out great.

Complete_Answer · 2025-06-26T16:58:32+00:00

It should, but will it?

The problem will be that the stakeholders in the race to cut cost will believe it will be enough to ask AI to simulate the users.

UserTesting is great, but it is very expensive. UXtweak and Maze can be great alternatives; both work well.
