Looking for a UXLens alternative?
UXLens is the closest competitor on method that we have found. Ten layers of analysis over a single page, built on published usability principles, with an attention map, reactions written in the voice of different reader types and a chat window over the finished report. Their named dimensions line up almost one for one with our own modules. Two things separate us. Nothing is published about what their layers were fitted to, where ours are anchored to ratings gathered from real readers. And their report ends where it is written, while ours comes back at 30, 60 and 90 days with what your search traffic did.

Most website audits are one AI's guess. Every score in yours comes from machine-learning models trained on how thousands of real people rated thousands of real web pages, and checked against the standards professionals use for speed, accessibility, readability, and brand. It is the grading a university lab runs, for the price of a coffee.

When to choose UXLens
Go with UXLens if you are reviewing something new most weeks and want a generous monthly allowance rather than a single purchase. Their free tier covers a handful of pages a month at no cost, which is more than most tools here will give you, and the chat window over a finished report is genuinely handy when you want to argue with a finding rather than just read it. They will also put a real person on your page for a few working days, which no other automated tool on this page offers at all.
When to choose you x you i
Choose us when you need the score to survive being questioned. Ours is anchored to what real readers reported about real pages, so it means the same thing next week as it did this week and a weak area names the problem behind it. Connect Search Console and we tell you at 30, 60 and 90 days whether the changes moved anything. One page costs $5, charged a single time, and there is no subscription to cancel.
What we check that UXLens does not
Every one of these is a row in the table above, ticked in our column and blank in theirs.
- Checks your pricing is laid out clearly
- Checks the Google basics
- Checks AI can read and quote your pages
- Connects to Google Search Console
- Shows which searches moved after your audit
- Links your fixes to your Google traffic
- Shows what AI answers cost you in clicks
- Compares your clicks with last year
- Tracks your score against your Google traffic
- Checks how fast your pages load
- Checks it works on phones
- Checks people with disabilities can use it
- Checks your brand is consistent
- Flags copy that sounds AI-written
- Emails you what your fixes did, 30 days on
- Scores measured against what real people said, not an opinion
What a year costs
Same year, both tools, list prices only.
- UXLens Starter, 50 audits a month, $12 a month
- $144a year
- you x you i $5 an audit, 12 audits, one a month
- $60a year
- Difference over a year
- $84
And you only pay for the audits you run. One audit is $5, paid once, so a year of monthly checks is a ceiling and not a bill. A subscription is the other way round: you pay it whether you look at it that month or not.
The two tools do different jobs, and the table above says which. This is only what each one asks for.

UXLens vs you x you i: common questions
Their attention map and yours look similar. Are they?
Both predict where an eye lands first, and neither is a recording of a real person looking at your page. The question worth asking either of us is what the prediction was tested against. We would rather you asked it than assumed a coloured overlay settles anything.
They offer a real person. Do you?
No, and we will not pretend that is a small gap. For a few working days and a much larger payment they will put a senior reviewer on your page. If a human read is what you want, take it. What we offer instead is a score you can compare against your own page next month, and evidence about what your changes did.
Is the free tier enough?
It might well be, and we would rather you found that out than heard it from us. A handful of pages a month at no cost is a fair way to see whether the analysis suits how you work. Our argument starts once you care whether the number means anything and whether the advice held up.
What does anchoring a score to real readers actually mean?
It means the thresholds were set from ratings that real people gave real pages, rather than chosen by us because they felt about right. It is why a mark in the sixties has the same meaning on your page as on somebody else s, and why we can tell you what usually sits behind one.
What is the audit based on?
Our own models, trained on what real people did on real websites: the pages they left, bought from, read, and trusted, plus the web standards for speed, accessibility, readability, and brand. A chatbot learns from text written about websites; these learn from what actually worked. Every fix comes from published research, ranked by the size of its effect.
Can't an AI chatbot tell me the same thing?
For a decision the business rides on, you want judgment that holds still. Ask a chatbot the same question twice and the answer changes, because it is giving you the average of everything it has read, where the loudest voice often wins. Our scores stay put and point at a specific fix, so you can act on one and defend it to whoever signs off.
Why not just paste my website into a chatbot?
Because a chat ends. It answers the question you thought to ask, and then it is over: it does not know what you changed afterwards, it has never seen your traffic, and it will never come back in October to tell you what the edit you made in July was worth. Ours ranks the fixes in the order worth doing, then watches what your search traffic does and emails you the numbers at 30, 60 and 90 days. You still make the changes. Nothing here decides on its own that your homepage needs rewriting.
