"Clean, Intuitive Surveys with Seamless Automation and Fantastic Support"
4/5
What do you like best about Lyssna?

Very clean, intuitive interface. Great range of survey options. Takes out a lot of the hassle of settings up sessions with all the automated emails and confirmations - and allows you to integrate your own system or use there's which is fantastic.

The ai feature is fun, not 100% up to scratch yet but helpful to generate quick data points/stats. Hopefully this performance will only get better.

The screening and agreement features are also so helpful. It's almost like it's been designed BY testers who knew what they needed ;)

Can't comment on costs/ROI as someone else pays the bills, but the team were amazing at onboarding us and always being available for questions, suggestions and support. A great team at Lyssna all round. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lyssna?

Dislike is a strong word. I think stronger ai synthesis will come with time, at the moment its siloed to individual Qs, but more holistic data analysis will be super helpful in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Clean UI, Strong UX Research Tools, and Best-in-Class AI-to-Support Handoff"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Lyssna?

I particularly appreciate the overall UI of the platform. It's clean, easy to scan, and contains all the necessary UX research tools. Pricing is competitive, and the growth plan allows for covering almost everything when it comes to UX research. The one thing that I liked the most was the chatbot feature and the very responsive, helpful customer service team. The AI does a really good job at answering surface questions, and whenever it reaches its limits, it transfers you very quickly to a friendly, very helpful customer service team member. That's the best AI-to-customer service feature that I've come across so far. I haven't encountered any issues in terms of speed or performance; it always seemed to be working well. The test was easily connectable with an external party for participant recruitment, so the integrations worked well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lyssna?

The one thing that I dislike is that sometimes, foreign transactions get blocked, and therefore, it isn't possible to purchase a paid plan. It is a shame that the one thing that doesn't work isn't related to the product itself, because what Lyssna offers is great. When I tried to create an account with a Dutch Mastercard, the system wouldn't accept it. Customer service was once again very helpful with me, and they tried everything to find a solution. Despite the efforts, we were unable to make it work, but I really appreciated the level of effort that was put into trying to find a solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Right-Sized for SMBs: Easy Interface, Fast Results, and Fair Pricing that offers a UXR superpower"
5/5
What do you like best about Lyssna?

Absolutely right-sized for small and medium sized businesses. The interface is easy to use and results get turned around quickly allowing us to be data-backed and decisive without dragging our feet. Pricing is fair and the allowance for self-recruits to reduce cost is a huge benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lyssna?

If you have a big UX team that needs lots statistical merit and rigor, this may not be your tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Setup, Exceptional Support for User Research"
5/5
What do you like best about Lyssna?

I found it really, really easy to set up Lyssna and could explore it before I even had to pay. I was amazed by the customer support team who helped me with every question I had within seconds. The team also helped my out when I did a costly mistake. With Lyssna I feel I have someone who got my back, when I need to deliver insights fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lyssna?

There's only one thing I wish was different with Lyssna. As a consultant, I want my clients to purchase the tool instead of me. I'd love to be added as a seat in their solution. But that's not possible if I already have an account with Lyssna. I had to find another email address to make it work. It's a minor issue with a simple solution.

"Fast Results and Flexible Audience Targeting for Quicker UX Decisions"
5/5
What do you like best about Lyssna?

I like how results are released quickly, it helps us ux designers to make quicker, faster decisions and iterations. I also like the fact that you can select the kind of audience you want and actually make groups for this. I like that customer support is easy to access and the option is right there on the screen. Running the tests is also pretty straight forward. I use it like once a quarter and intend to use it more often going forward. A large pool of humans who can validate my designs for me is great and makes publishing the tests easier and faster, leading to faster implementation (ease of implementation). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lyssna?

Finding the studies that I have published through my account in an enterprise subscription is not easy. I still am struggling with finding my past user studies. It'd be great if Lysnaa could sum up the usability test findings in a document/presentation for me, integration will be easier that way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Team Lyssna of Lyssna

Thanks so much for the feedback. Your suggestions around finding past studies more easily and summarizing results into a document or presentation or via integrations are great ideas. We’d love to learn more about how you’d want that to work if you’re open to sharing more detail with us.

"Lyssna User Research results in under 30 minutes"
5/5
What do you like best about Lyssna?

I used Lyssna to run a research study for a new app I am developing. It was straightforward to set up with real users. Most surprising was the speed; useful survey results were back in under 30 minutes! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lyssna?

It would be great if the limitations of the free tier were explained a bit more clearly. For instance how many responses per study are permitted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Lightning-Fast Testing with Clear, Shareable Results"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Lyssna?

Honestly, it’s the speed. I mainly use it for five-second tests and preference tests, and I can get something live in about 15–20 minutes, which for research tooling is perfect. The results are also easy to read, I can pull a screenshot straight into a doc, and it actually makes sense to someone who wasn’t in the room. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lyssna?

The panel quality is a bit inconsistent if I'm being honest. You'll get responses where someone has clearly just clicked through as fast as possible to collect their reward, and there's not a great way to weed those out without doing it by hand. Also the pricing has gone up since the rebrand from UsabilityHub and I do feel it a little. Nothing dealbreaking but worth knowing going in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Team Lyssna of Lyssna

Thanks for the review and feedback Tiffany. Maintaining high-quality participant responses is something we actively work on, and we’re continuing to invest in improvements that help researchers identify and filter low-effort responses more easily. I'll be sure to pass your feedback to the team.

"Convenient UXR Hub with Room for Improvement in Saving and Test Flow"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Lyssna?

I like that I'm able to conduct UXR in one hub. I haven't explored all the different types of tests, but I enjoy that I'm not responsible for external recruitment if I don't have to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lyssna?

There have been multiple instances in which my changes were not being saved and I lost entire studies that I had spent time working on, which was really frustrating. I wish it operated like Google Suite, where changes are saved almost immediately on the cloud with the option to Undo, Redo, and view Version History should I choose.

I also find the flow of some of the tests to be a bit odd, specifically A/B testing as a UX Designer. I've found myself having to administer 2 First-Click tests instead to achieve the results that a A/B test would otherwise give me if not administered through Lyssna.

"Great tool for gathering real and visual user feedback"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Lyssna?

It's a great tool that I, as a UX Researcher, can use to quickly gather feedback about our live website and the prototypes that my fellow UX Designers are making for the team. This makes the voice of the customer more important to our company and advocates a great UX. Also, customer support is through the roof: always very helpful and accomodating. Feedback is brought to the developer team, so things that are missing constantly evolve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lyssna?

Not many downsides, only that the questionnaire logic is a bit more basic than dedicated Survey tools.

But the fact that you can record live website behavior and people interacting with a prototype, and even do audio recordings, make it a tool that we are very happy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

3.5/5

The easiness of setting up the usability tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it should do a better job in helping its users to analyse the test results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
