EyesOnDeck vs UserTesting
Designer critique, not a paid panel.
UserTesting is the incumbent — a broad tester panel behind an annual subscription. EyesOnDeck is a smaller, sharper alternative: working UI/UX designers reviewing your site or app, priced per test.
| Feature | EyesOnDeck | UserTesting |
|---|---|---|
| Reviewer pool | Curated UI/UX designers | General paid panel |
| Pay per test | No subscription — quote per project | Annual subscription tiers |
| Mix formats in one campaign | Video + screenshots + written | Choose one format |
| Minimum contract | None — single test is fine | Annual commitment for full access |
| Design specialty filters | Filter by mobile / e-commerce / SaaS | Persona / demographic filters |
| Enterprise recording panel | Not our focus | Deep panel with recruit-your-own |
Choose UserTesting when…
You need a large, recorded panel at enterprise scale, deep persona-matching, and are comfortable with annual pricing. It's the right tool for research teams running dozens of concurrent studies.

You want a UI/UX designer's eye on your product — one test at a time, no subscription, mixed formats. Ideal for indie makers, product teams, and design-led startups shipping a site, store, or app.
