10 usability testing tools by strength

Table of 10 usability testing tools with each one's core strength and method focus, from Maze for prototype testing to Koji for AI interviews.
Shortlist by method first. Most teams pair a task-testing tool with an interview tool.

A reference table of ten usability testing tools in 2026: Koji, Maze, UserTesting, Lyssna, Lookback, Userlytics, PlaybookUX, Userbrain, UXtweak and Trymata. For each it gives the core strength and whether the tool focuses on moderated or unmoderated testing. Prices are left off because they change, so check each vendor. Use it to shortlist a task-testing tool, then add an interview tool like Koji for the reasons behind what users do.
