Introduction

Why do companies pick Ballpark over UserZoom?

When we speak to our customers who have switched to Ballpark from UserZoom, there are several mission-critical reasons why.

  • Democratization of Research: The majority of product, design, and research leadership find it difficult to democratize research with UserZoom due to the seat-based pricing structure, leading to fewer people conducting research over time.
  • Integration with Figma: Ballpark offers robust integration with Figma, generating heatmaps and conversion reports, while UserZoom lacks this native integration.
  • Unlimited Concurrent Studies: Ballpark has no limits on concurrent studies or participants per survey, facilitating uninterrupted work.

Key differences when comparing Ballpark and UserZoom

  • Advanced Figma integration: Track participant behavior on prototypes.
  • Unlimited seats: You can scale research with no restrictions.
  • Real-time collaboration: Allowing multiple people to create surveys.
  • Transparent pricing: Clear-cut rates without multiple costly extras.
