Differences between Userlytics and Discuss
Looking for a UX testing tool and comparing your options? Let us make the process easier for you. Here are some key ways Userlytics and Discuss differ.
Discuss is primarily a qualitative research platform focused on video interviews and conversations, making it well suited for market research and focus groups. However, it does not provide the robust usability testing workflows, unmoderated studies, and participant management features that UX teams often require. Userlytics combines both moderated and unmoderated testing, advanced targeting, and strict participant quality controls, including a 90-day exclusion policy, to deliver actionable UX insights that support product and design decisions.
