Comparing Personas

Comparison shows two or three personas next to each other. It’s the clearest way to see that different user types surface different problems in your product — one persona’s blind spots are another’s findings.

You can compare personas two ways:

  • From the Personas list, turn on Compare, select 2–3 personas, and launch the comparison.
  • From a persona’s detail page, click Compare to open it in the comparison view, then add others.

You can add or remove personas while comparing, up to a maximum of three. Use Add persona to bring in another from your list.

Each persona gets a card with its outcomes side by side:

  • Sims — Simulations run, split into completed, failed or stopped, and running or queued.
  • Issues — Findings surfaced.
  • Last run — When the persona last ran a simulation.
  • Severity mix and status breakdown (open, triaged, fixed, dismissed).
  • Top pages — The pages or flows where this persona surfaced the most findings.
  • Linked sims — Quick links to the persona’s recent simulations.
  • Signature finding — The standout issue for this persona.

A row per OCEAN axis (openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism) with one bar per persona, aligned so you can see at a glance how the personas differ as personalities. Axes that aren’t scored are marked as such.

Shared tags appear first, followed by the tags unique to each persona — a fast read on where the personas overlap and where they diverge.

Issues that more than one persona surfaced independently. A small shared list, or — when it’s empty — confirmation that the personas cover disjoint areas of your product. Disjoint coverage is a good sign: it means each persona is testing something the others aren’t.

A short AI-written paragraph summarizing the comparison — where the personas agree, where they diverge, and what stands out.

Use Export comparison to download the comparison as a CSV — personas, segments, simulation and issue counts, the severity breakdown, top pages, and signature findings.
