Best Figma user and usability testing plugins
- UXtweak best for prototype testing
- Testing Figma prototypes can help you identify design flaws well before the development stage. Use UXtweak to test your prototypes and reduce the need for costly post-production changes.
- ProtoPie is best for creating interactive, high-fidelity prototypes you can then use for more realistic user testing
- The ProtoPie plugin for Figma lets you easily export your designs to build interactive, high-fidelity prototypes that closely resemble the final product – something that’s hard to accomplish with Figma alone.
- Attention Insight best for simulating heatmaps and clarity scores
- Attention Insight helps you predict how your designs will perform by using artificial intelligence. It shows where users are most likely to look when they interact with your design, helping you optimize key elements of your prototype.

Reviews: What do you like best about UXtweak?
👌 I love how easy and quick it is to set up the tests. To import the prototype from Figma you just need a link. It imports all your transitions directly from Figma or you can choose to connect the screens manually during setup.
The analytics are great, you can easily filter out specific respondent groups, based on different criteria, and analyze results for each of them. I like that you can get a great amount of qual and quant insights without having to spend hours on the manual analysis.
👌 We used UXtweak for Figma prototype testing. We are a local IT company and for our client, we needed to do quick testing of our prototypes. We know UXtweak as it is well known Slovak company. So we tried their prototype testing. It was very easy to use, we liked it imports Figma directly to UXtweak and we have our testing done in a few clicks. We also bought their testers and we were satisfied with the quality of respondents. Also we had some issues with our Figma and their support solved it within 1 hour.
👌 The fact that their prototype testing shows you the path which respondents navigate by in your prototype and that you can easily compare these paths and see which were taken by how many respondents. Also the upload of our Figma prototype was easy, straightforward and worked without a hitch. We also liked that you can share the results of your study with anyone via a simple link. We used it to communicate with our client and show them the most important points we discovered.
Reviews: What do you dislike about UXtweak?
👎 I guess the biggest drawback for some teams could be that they only support Figma and Invision testing.
👎 Sometimes it takes time to import Figma prototypes. I guess it’s because of the API. Also, the interface of UXtweak should be a little bit more designed. Their site is very modern, but the application can also be redesigned. But it is functional and easy to use.
