Every release, measured by what your users actually did.
UXSense compares real user behavior before and after every deploy, and tells you what broke, what improved, and what to fix first, before your users complain.
v2.14.3·Checkout Flow Redesign
Checkout completion rate dropped 8.2% for returning users. New “express checkout” button is being missed on step 3. New users appear unaffected — they have no prior muscle memory.
- HighStep 3 abandonment rate+340%
- MedTime on step 3+2.4s
- PosNew user completion rate+12%
Most teams don't realize when they break the UX.
Not because they're careless, but because the signals are subtle. After a release:
- Users hesitate where they didn't before.
- Flows take longer to complete.
- Power users stumble in familiar places.
- Support questions rise without a clear cause.
By the time the issue is obvious, the damage is already done.
Every UI change affects user behavior, even small ones.
Those changes show up as:
The evidence already exists in your session data. What's missing is an automated way to compare before vs after and clearly answer:
“Did this release change how users behave, and does it matter?”
You shipped. How did users react?
For each release, it:
- 01Compares real user behavior before and after changes.
- 02Detects meaningful behavior shifts and UX issues.
- 03Highlights where friction increased or decreased.
- 04Explains the likely impact in plain language.
As soon as there have been enough sessions (~30) you get a concise, actionable Release Impact Report. And your very first report is a UX Health Audit: what's already broken and costing you users, before you ship anything.
No guesswork. No replay rabbit holes. No waiting weeks to be sure.
A concise, actionable report for every release.
Each Release Impact Report answers:
- →What changed in user behavior.
- →Which user groups were affected.
- →Where friction increased or decreased.
- →Whether the change was likely intentional.
- →How confident the system is, and why.
- →What to fix first — one action each for engineering, product, and design.
When UXSense detects a significant UX issue, you can dig in — without fishing.
- Review example sessions automatically surfaced.
- Compare new users vs. experienced users.
- Inspect edge cases without replay hunting.
No fishing expeditions. Only investigation when there's signal.
This isn't another dashboard. It's your safety net, every time you ship.
Before UXSense
- UX issues surface days or weeks later. By the time you notice, thousands of users have already been affected.
- Investigation is manual and anecdotal. Someone has to dig through analytics, screenshots, and Slack threads.
- Teams debate whether a problem is “real.” Without clear data, conversations stall and fixes get deprioritized.
- Insights live in dashboards no one checks. The data might exist, but no one's watching it after every release.
With UXSense
- Behavior changes surface within 24 hours. You get alerted the moment user patterns shift, not weeks later.
- Every change is tied to a specific release. No more guessing which deploy caused the drop.
- Statistical proof replaces gut feel. Before/after significance tests, and every number computed from your sessions, never generated by an AI.
- The verdict comes to you. A short digest lands in Slack after every release, the full report is there when you want to dig in.
Setup takes minutes, not weeks.
UXSense uses AI to do what humans can't at scale: compare thousands of sessions and explain what changed.
Works alongside your existing product analytics stack.
Add one line to your site.
The lightweight UXSense snippet records sessions directly, no session replay vendor required. Already recording? No problem, connect your existing replay tool and start immediately.
Compares behavior before and after each release.
AI analyzes thousands of sessions to detect meaningful user behavior changes between release windows.
Delivers a Release Impact Report automatically.
A concise, actionable summary explaining what changed, who was affected, and whether it matters.
Drift checks pull requests before merge. Releases tells you what actually happened.
Every Drift prediction is stored against the release that ships it, Releases is where the grade comes from. Turn it on and the loop closes: signals that don't predict real behavior change get demoted, automatically.

FAQ
How is this different from session replay tools?
Replay tools give you an account of what happened, a recording, or lately an AI's read of one. Releases gives you a measurement of what changed: behavior computed before and after each deploy, across every relevant session, with every figure computed from sessions, never guessed by a model.
Do I need Drift to use Releases?
No. Releases works standalone. Drift needs Releases' measurement plane to calibrate; Releases doesn't need Drift for anything. They're better together, which is what the bundle prices.
What counts as a release?
Any production deploy you can point at. Publish a GitHub release and it's picked up the moment you hit publish; tag-based flows are picked up as well. Connect the Vercel or Render deploy webhook and every production deploy becomes a release automatically, no tags required. Or add one manually, a name and a timestamp, for platforms we don't hook into yet.
Each release starts the clock: UXSense compares what users did before it went live against what they do after, and ships the report once there's enough behavior to read. Deduplication is automatic, one release per repo and tag, so a re-published tag or a webhook retry never produces a duplicate report. If you deploy continuously without tags, the webhooks are the right fit: every deploy is a release, and each one gets measured.
Start with the release you already shipped.
Install the one-line snippet, or connect your existing session recording tool, and UXSense starts reading your sessions immediately. Your first report is a UX Health Audit: what's already broken, what's quietly costing you users, and what to fix first, before you ship anything new. Every release after that gets measured automatically.
