Looking for a Heurilens alternative?
Heurilens sells credits, and each credit buys a well-written AI review of a page. The prose is good. Look closely at the number it puts at the top, though, and ask what it is out of. There is no answer. It is a model's impression of an image, expressed as a score, and it will move if you feed it a slightly different crop.

When to choose Heurilens
Choose Heurilens if you want a steady stream of AI critiques and you like paying in credits rather than per report. The writing is clear, the turnaround is instant, and for a designer who wants a fresh pair of eyes on a mockup before it ships, that is a fair trade. It is a good critique tool. It is not a measurement tool, and it does not claim to be.
When to choose you x you i
Choose us when the number has to mean something. Ours are fitted against what thousands of real people said about real pages, so the same page scores the same twice and a low score points at a specific, named problem. We also load the site, which is where the load time, the phone rendering and the accessibility scan come from. One audit, $5, no subscription.

Heurilens vs you x you i: common questions
What is wrong with an AI score?
Nothing, if you know what it is measured against. Ours is fitted to what real people reported about real pages, so a 62 has a meaning outside our own head. A one-shot model score has no scale behind it, which is why it can move when nothing about your page has.
Do you look at the design as well as the words?
Yes. We predict where a visitor's eye lands first, using research on how people actually look at pages, and we check that your brand holds together across the site. We do it on the live page rather than on a screenshot, so what we see is what a visitor sees.
Can Heurilens tell me why my page is slow?
No. It never loads your site, so it has nothing to time. Speed, phone rendering and accessibility are measured in a real browser, and they are in every audit we run.
Is there a subscription?
None. You pay $5 for the audit in front of you. No credits to top up, no plan to remember to cancel.
