5 Best Product Experimentation Tools & Software

UXCam

Best for mobile product experimentation

Mobile apps are data-generation machines—and UXCam gives you the ability to capture and analyze it all.

UXCam packages a ton of analytics features—including heatmaps, session replays, funnels, and more—into a single platform. Every user interaction is automatically tracked thanks to a robust tagless auto-capture system, allowing product teams to gain a full view of their user's behavior.

And when it's time to analyze all this data? UXCam gives you the ability to segment your data based on any criteria you want—from device type to geographical location. Perfect for testing complex hypotheses and hunches.

Key features

• User Journeys & Funnels: View the full user journey from start to finish and see where people drop out of your funnels.

• Heatmaps: See where users are tapping, swiping, and scrolling on-screen.

• Session Replays: Get a play-by-play of user sessions (complete with video).

• Segmentation: Slice and dice your data however you'd like to test your hypotheses quickly.

Pricing

UXCam has a free-forever plan that gives unlimited users 3,000 tracked monthly sessions.

Apptimize is a product experimentation tool that offers A/B tests (like many of the tools we've covered) and feature flags.

The ability to run feature flags is a big one. It allows you to roll out features to small subsets of users and quickly roll them back if things go awry. Plus, the tool is cross-platform—you can run experiments on mobile apps, web apps, and more simultaneously.

Key features

Product experimentation - a quick refresher

Product experimentation is the process of systematically testing different aspects of a product or service to figure out what is (and isn't) working for your customers. It’s the perfect way to improve end-to-end customer experience by ensuring that your app works exactly as intended.

The product experimentation process starts with a hypothesis. Product teams then design experiments (e.g., A/B tests, user surveys, etc.) to either validate or reject the hypothesis using real-world data collected by a product or mobile app analytics tool—hence today's article.
