Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use UX Lens and Attention Insight together?

They complement each other well. Use Attention Insight to validate visual hierarchy and CTA placement during design, then run a UX Lens audit to catch usability issues across the full experience. Attention Insight tells you what gets noticed; UX Lens tells you if the overall UX works.

Does UX Lens replace Attention Insight?

They serve different purposes. UX Lens replaces manual heuristic evaluations and UX consultant reviews. Attention Insight replaces eye-tracking studies. If your main goal is to improve overall usability with actionable recommendations, UX Lens is the right choice. If you specifically need attention data, Attention Insight focuses on that.

Attention Insight is faster — does that matter?

Attention Insight generates a heatmap in ~30 seconds, but you still need to interpret it yourself. UX Lens takes 2-4 minutes but gives you a complete audit with specific fix recommendations. The extra time pays for itself in actionability.

Why is Attention Insight 3x more expensive?

Attention Insight's pricing starts at $58/mo for their Solo plan, which reflects their eye-tracking AI model costs. UX Lens starts at $19/mo for full UX audits. Both use AI, but they solve different problems at different price points.

Which tool should I choose for e-commerce optimization?

For e-commerce, UX Lens provides more comprehensive value — it audits checkout flows, navigation, error handling, and product page usability. Attention Insight can tell you if your 'Add to Cart' button gets noticed, but UX Lens tells you if the entire shopping experience works.
