Your prototype is finished. The interactions are polished, the logic is tight. But there's only one way to know if your design actually works: put it in front of real users and watch what happens.
Until now, that meant leaving ProtoPie, uploading your prototype to a third-party platform, hoping the fidelity survived the export, and piecing together results from a tool never built for high-complexity prototypes.
ProtoPie User Testing is now available for purchase for Pro (annual) and Enterprise users, and for a limited time, you get unlimited testing sessions. This is the best moment to get started.
What Is ProtoPie User Testing?
ProtoPie User Testing is a secured, high-fidelity research environment built directly into your prototyping workflow. You set a goal, invite a participant, and observe how they interact with your prototype in real time, and watch instant replays immediately after, without exporting, without losing your interaction logic, and without switching tools.
After a limited early access period with select Enterprise customers starting February 2026, it's now open to all Pro (annual) and Enterprise teams.
When the session ends, you don't sit through a long, unstructured screen recording. Within 60 seconds you get 3 things: a topline summary, a full session replay, a precise interaction log that tracks every technical trigger and response that happened during the test.
Don’t Just See Where They Clicked. See How They Behaved
Most testing platforms track clicks and generate heatmaps. That works for simple web flows. It breaks down for the kind of complex, high-fidelity prototypes ProtoPie is built for.
ProtoPie User Testing captures the full interaction picture:
Long presses, swipes, multi-finger gestures
Timing, logic paths, and variable responses
Voice commands, camera interactions, and native device gestures via ProtoPie Player (iOS, iPadOS, and Android)
If it’s in the Pie, it’s in the log. Every interaction is timestamped and captured, giving you evidence, not assumptions.
3 Task Types to Match Your Research Goals
ProtoPie User Testing supports 3 task types, each designed for a different research question:
Exact Path: The participant follows a specific interaction sequence you define. Use this to validate efficiency: does the user find the right flow, and how quickly? Results include a path match score showing how closely they followed your intended sequence.
Reach Final Scene: The participant succeeds by arriving at a target scene, regardless of route. Best for open-ended tests: can users reach the outcome, even via an unexpected path?
Free Explore: No success criteria. Users move freely through the prototype while ProtoPie maps the paths taken, time spent, and most common first actions, revealing where attention naturally goes.
A Live War Room For Your Whole Team
Testing shouldn't be a solo activity. User Testing is built for the whole team, but only people running tests need a paid seat.
Moderators are ProtoPie Studio Editors who run live sessions, bookmark key moments as Highlights, and export interaction data as CSV when deeper analysis is needed. Highlights are shareable clips that surface friction points without sitting through a full replay.
The rest of the team (designers, developers, stakeholders) can join as free Observers, watching sessions live without needing a paid seat. Access can be scoped to your whole organization or specific teams spaces.
Results and replays are available immediately after each session, so Moderators and ProtoPie Studio Editors can review key moments without waiting for a summary to land in their inbox. Fewer internal debates. Faster alignment. Better decisions across teams.
No Export. No Context Switching. No Data Loss.
The most underappreciated cost in user research isn't the tool, it's the switching. Exporting a prototype. Rebuilding context in another platform. Translating results back into something actionable.
ProtoPie User Testing removes every one of those steps. You build in ProtoPie, test in ProtoPie, and your results live in ProtoPie. Moderators can export results as CSV for deeper analysis when needed. And if you’re already using ProtoPie AI to build complex interactions, you can move directly from prototype setup into live user testing without missing a beat.
A Walled Garden For Your Most Sensitive Work
Most testing platforms require your prototype to be publicly accessible. For teams working on sensitive product designs, fintech, healthcare, automotive, enterprise software, that’s not an option.
ProtoPie User Testing runs inside a closed-loop environment. Every participant link is OTP-protected, keeping your most sensitive work secure throughout the entire test.
