"I would've paid a lot more than $19.95" "Wow, I was blown away by her insights. Things I didn't consider that important, like my bio, were critical to her. Content, I thought was clear and understandable like the benefits of joining, needed more specifics from a buyers perspective. Her insights were excellent and I've implemented every one, including making the font size larger. I would've paid a lot more than the $19.95 I did to get this high level of market research data.

"The results were almost instantaneous" "I think you have a great service! I've been at companies where we've spent thousands of dollars on user testing and didn't get nearly as much information as we did from the dozen tests we performed through your service. The process to set up the tests was extremely simple and the results were almost instantaneous (in some cases within an hour or two of my posting the test). I love that I was able to share them with our entire company."

"Blew us away...astonishing" "We were initially attracted to UserTesting.com by the price point - for less than $100, we could get 5 reviews, where the same number of in-house reviews would cost double or triple that amount. It was a "What have we got to lose?" proposition.
What blew us away was the quality and speed of the reviews. Intelligent, comprehensive comments from the reviewers supported by quality video and audio of their actions on our site, delivered in less than 24 hours! It's simply an astonishing service at a great price. We'll certainly return for all our external user testing."

"A great service that makes perfect use of crowdsourcing on the web" "The service is called UserTesting.com and you can get a test for as little as $19. I have already tried it a couple of times and found small changes that have already made a big difference on the site I was working on. I got two 15 minute videos the same afternoon that really showed some issues with how well the site did at conversion." Read full review

"I’m having a hard time coming up with a better
way to spend 20 bucks" "If there was a startup that I was excited
about, this is the one. It used to be that if you wanted usability testing
you’d have to hire a firm and it often cost $250 or more per person. At
UserTesting.com it’s only $19 and I’m having a hard time coming up with a
better way to spend almost 20 bucks. Frankly, there is nowhere else out there
that you can get a video of someone performing a task on your website and a
written report of their thoughts, all within 48 hours. It’s hard to imagine
this being any easier."

"My expectations were blown away" "We
decided to give UserTesting.com a whirl, mostly because of its affordability.
Generally, my expectations of the service were blown away, and I would
definitely use it again. You receive both a video and a written review. The
video offered a much richer insight into the user experience. Testers talk
aloud, and you’re able to view their actual interactions with the software.
Clicks are shown as a red circle. Creating this rich experience is, in and of
itself, an accomplishment for UserTesting.com. This is about as good as it gets
(with the exception of eye-tracking, which would bankrupt most companies)."

"Much of this [usability testing] hassle is now
taken care of…by www.usertesting.com" "The main problems with usability
testing are logistical. You need to find the right test subjects and arrange
the time and location for testing. You also need to decide how you are going to
induce them to give up an hour of their time. Worst of all, once you have used
someone they are ‘tainted’ and can’t be used again (except perhaps to test
changes in the new versions). It’s a hassle. Or at least it was. Much of this
hassle is now taken care of for you by new web-based service

"I've been building and promoting websites since
1996 and this is seriously the best tool I've seen for a webmaster in YEARS"
"I was able to WATCH and HEAR how someone new to my site was able to get around.
I was able to SEE which areas of the website caught their eye and where their
mouse moved (very important).
I was able to SEE clearly which areas of the site were confusing and which were
easy to use. At one point the tester was caught in a loop when trying to
perform a task that I would have thought was very simple. The link they clicked
was to a help document on "how to" perform a function when they *thought* the
link actually *performed* the function.
I saw where they were looking for specific information and what information was
missing from where they looked.
I can't believe how clear things became when I saw the tester navigate through
the site. I easily spotted 5 things I could fix that would save me time
answering support questions and help people find information on the site with
greater ease. And I got my results back within hours!
I've been building and promoting websites since 1996 and this is seriously the
best tool I've seen for a webmaster in YEARS."

"Why didn’t somebody think of this
before?" "I really respect what you people do. So transparent, so
straightforward, so quick, so useful, so why didn't somebody think of this
before?
Even though we are a UK company and you are in the US, the comments seemed
really pertinent. It's just so hard to:
a) see the snags in stuff you design yourself and
b) get anyone you know to be objective.
Good luck, thanks, I'll be back and I am now a walking ad for UserTesting.com."

"We immediately heard about an obvious usability issue" "We completed a 3 user test yesterday of some of our pay per click landing pages. Guess what? We immediately heard about an obvious usability issue. We’ve taken the affected page down while we’re re-working it. When we’ve finished, you can bet we’ll run another test. I urge you to do the same on your site." Read full review

"Research the public’s perception of your product" "One of the best ways to research the public’s perception of your product is by testing it on UserTesting.com.

congratulate you on rolling out such a cool and useful service. I had jaredsain

promptness (my goodness, they were done in like 3 hours after I posted it!).
Thanks again, and I will be using this service again after I do some work on my
site."

"Great" "It’s great to see how they ‘think’ through the process of undertaking the actions required – you can see where their focus is and where the mouse pointer travels, as they explain their thought processes.

"Constructive criticism from real users" "I
also paid $20 to have someone sit down and answer questions related to the
site. It came from a site called User Testing.com. I appreciated the results,
and I thought I would share the results with you... It’s much easier to receive
the constructive criticism from real users and not an executive telling me what
my users want. I would highly suggest that a similar approach be taken early
and often in the development to ensure that your users are satisfied with their
experience." Read
