UX audit for SaaS products
For Startups and Founders

UX Audit for SaaS and Mobile Apps

If users are dropping off after onboarding, conversions are lower than they should be, or something about the product just feels off, the problem is usually the experience. A UX audit gives you a clear picture of what is actually happening, why users are not succeeding, and exactly what to fix first.

Who Needs a UX Audit

This audit is built for SaaS founders who are past the early stage and know something is holding growth back. It is the right next step if your activation rate is lower than it should be, users are dropping off during onboarding, your team is debating a redesign but is not sure where to start, or you have a growing product that is becoming harder for new users to navigate.

If you are asking why users are not converting, why they are leaving before they see value, or why a feature you built is being ignored, a UX audit will give you answers you can act on.

UX Audit evaluates the full product experience across the areas that matter most to growth.

Onboarding

First impressions determine whether users stay or leave. We review your onboarding flows, first-time user experience, setup process, and activation milestones to identify where users are losing momentum before they see the value of your product.

Product Architecture

As products grow, feature organization becomes harder to understand. We analyze your navigation hierarchy, feature discoverability, and whether the mental model of your product matches how users actually think.

Website Conversion

Before users ever open your product they experience your website. We evaluate whether your homepage clearly explains the problem you solve, whether the signup path has unnecessary friction, and whether your messaging is converting the right visitors into trial users.

Interface Clarity

Users should immediately understand what action to take at every step. We evaluate visual hierarchy, component consistency, and interaction patterns that may be creating friction without anyone realizing it.

Core Workflows

For most SaaS products the dashboard is the center of the user experience. We review how data is presented, how tasks flow, and whether your core workflows support users in making decisions quickly.

How the UX Audit Process Works

Step 1

Free Product Review

We start with a free 20-minute call to evaluate your product experience across core workflows and user journeys. This confirms whether a full audit is the right next step.

Step 2

UX Analysis

We work through your product systematically, identifying usability issues, friction points, and structural problems across every area of the experience.

Step 3

Findings and Report

You receive a detailed audit report outlining every issue found, its impact on growth, and the recommended fix.

Step 4

Strategy Session

We review the findings together, answer questions, and help you decide on the right next steps whether that is implementing internally or working with us to execute.

UX Audit Investment

A comprehensive UX report typically delivered within one to two weeks. UX Audits start at $2,000.

Pricing depends on product complexity, number of workflows analyzed, and whether the scope includes a website. The final investment is confirmed before work begins. In most cases, audits will land between $2,000 and $5,000.

The scorecard gives you a rated evaluation across usability, navigation, onboarding, visual hierarchy, and feature discoverability. Each area is scored and summarized so you can see exactly where your product is creating friction and where it is performing well.

What Happens After
the UX Audit

Some teams take the report and implement the recommendations with their own team. Others work with us to execute the improvements directly. Either way the report is written to be actionable without needing us in the room.

Common next steps include:

  • Product UX redesign
  • Onboarding flow improvements
  • Dashboard optimization
  • Ongoing product design support

For startups that want continuous improvement without building a full internal design team, we also work as a monthly Product Design Partner, providing ongoing UX strategy, design system development, and feature design at $8,000 per month.

Frequently Asked Questions
About UX Audits

What is a UX audit?

A UX audit is a structured evaluation of your product experience. It identifies usability issues, onboarding friction, navigation problems, and conversion barriers that are preventing users from succeeding in your product. The output is a prioritized report your team can act on immediately.

How much does a UX audit cost?

Our SaaS UX audits are priced between $2,000 and $5,000 depending on product complexity, number of workflows analyzed, and whether the scope includes mobile. The final investment is confirmed before work begins.

How long does a UX audit take?

Most audits are completed within one to two weeks from the start of the engagement.

What is the difference between a UX audit and a product redesign?

A UX audit identifies the problems. A redesign fixes them. Many teams start with an audit to understand exactly what needs to change before committing to a full redesign investment. The audit gives you a clear brief so that redesign work is scoped accurately and executed efficiently.

Do you work with early stage startups?

The audit works best for products that are live and have real users. If you are pre-launch or in very early development, a strategy session may be a better starting point. The free product review is the easiest way to figure out which applies to you.

Can my team implement the recommendations without your help?

Yes. The report is written to be actionable by any competent product or engineering team. If you want help executing the improvements, we offer that as a separate engagement.

Do you work with Michigan based SaaS companies?

Yes. We are based in Auburn Hills, Michigan and work with SaaS founders locally and nationwide. Geography has no bearing on the audit process since everything is conducted remotely.
