WHAT WE LOOK FOR
What does a SaaS UX audit cover?
A SaaS UX audit from BrokenProduct covers dashboard hierarchy, onboarding flow, navigation depth, empty states, feature adoption, and upgrade prompts, using screens captured from inside your actual product while you are logged in.
Dashboard hierarchy
Is the main screen clear to a brand-new user? We count navigation items, competing priorities, and missing focal points.
Onboarding flow
Where do users lose momentum between signup and first value? We trace every step and find every gap.
Navigation depth
Can users find core actions in under 2 clicks? We audit sidebar structure, label clarity, and discoverability.
Empty states
Do your zero-data screens guide users or abandon them? We check every empty state for a clear next action.
Feature adoption
Which features are buried more than 2 clicks from the main nav? We surface what users cannot find.
Upgrade prompts
Are your conversion moments contextually relevant? We check placement, copy, and visual weight of every upsell.
COMMON PROBLEMS
The most common SaaS UX problems we find
Navigation overload
SaaS products average 11 navigation items at launch. Users cannot determine which action to take first. Fix: reduce to 6 primary items with clear hierarchy.
Onboarding asks before it gives
Most SaaS onboarding flows ask users to configure settings before showing any product value. Users leave before they see what they signed up for.
Empty dashboard paralysis
A blank dashboard with no guidance is the most common reason users churn in week one. The product looks empty and users do not know what to do next.

SAMPLE FINDING
What a SaaS finding looks like
Screen type: Main Dashboard
CriticalNavigation has 14 items with equal visual weight. New users cannot identify the one action they should take first.
Fix: Group navigation into 3 categories. Highlight the primary action with visual weight. Move secondary items to a More menu.

Yes. This is the core difference between BrokenProduct and other audit tools. Because you install the extension and use your own product while logged in, we capture your actual dashboard, onboarding flow, and feature screens. No credentials are shared with us.
Capture between 10 and 30 screens covering your main dashboard, each onboarding step, your 2-3 core feature screens, and any screen you are specifically concerned about. The extension lets you delete unwanted captures before submitting.
If your SaaS product is responsive and you can view it in a desktop browser, the extension captures it. For native mobile apps, use the screenshot upload flow at brokenproduct.com/upload.
