Your SaaS product might be packed with features, but none of that matters if users can’t figure out how to use it. Usability is often the deciding factor between a loyal customer and a churned user. Poor UX silently bleeds growth, kills engagement, and makes your competition look better than they are.
In this blog, we’ll uncover the most common UX mistakes SaaS companies make, the consequences of those mistakes, and how to fix them effectively.
Most SaaS products suffer from feature bloat. Founders want to show value fast, so they pile on features. The result? Confused users who bounce before they understand the core value.
Symptoms:
Overwhelming dashboard
Long menus with unclear labels
Too many configuration options on first login
Fix:
Focus on ONE core value proposition.
Introduce features gradually using progressive disclosure.
Use a simple, contextual onboarding experience.
Example: Notion begins with a single clean page. Only as users interact do advanced options appear, avoiding overwhelm.
SaaS success depends on how fast users find value. If onboarding is clunky, confusing, or boring, users churn before they even get started.
Fix:
Use tooltips, modals, or in-app tours to guide users.
Personalize onboarding based on use-case.
Highlight one quick win.
Example: Grammarly's onboarding shows value immediately: a live demo of real-time corrections. Users are hooked within minutes.
Tip: Don’t overexplain. Let users experience value through doing, not reading.
A disjointed design language breaks trust. When buttons, colors, or layouts change across screens, users feel lost or frustrated.
Fix:
Use a unified design system (like Material Design or custom Style Guide).
Maintain consistency in spacing, icons, labels, and CTAs.
Keep micro-interactions (like hover states, loaders) aligned.
Example: Figma maintains pixel-perfect consistency throughout its app—from desktop to plugin interface.
When users click a button and nothing happens, it creates uncertainty.
Symptoms:
No loading spinner during actions
No confirmation messages
Lack of success/failure states
Fix:
Use animations, tooltips, or loaders to acknowledge every action.
Provide clear error messages.
Example: Airtable shows a subtle "saving..." message and a green checkmark after autosave. This tiny signal builds trust.
Even B2B users are mobile now. SaaS tools that aren’t responsive lose opportunities every day.
Fix:
Implement responsive layouts and touch-friendly controls.
Test real use-cases on devices.
Streamline complex functions for smaller screens.
Example: ClickUp’s mobile app allows task management, notifications, and integrations on the go. It’s tailored for productivity, not just viewing.
Your user has decided to convert, but the final step feels like climbing Everest.
Symptoms:
Unclear pricing tiers
Too many form fields
Unnecessary account verifications
Fix:
Simplify plans. Highlight one recommended tier.
Use SSO or social login to speed up sign-up.
Break long forms into short steps with progress bars.
Example: Calendly reduces signup friction with Google sign-in and smart defaults.
You can’t fix what you don’t know. Without ongoing feedback, bad UX persists.
Fix:
Use micro surveys, NPS, and in-app feedback buttons.
Analyze session recordings for drop-off patterns.
Interview power users monthly.
Example: Intercom uses feedback from power users to continuously refine flows and interfaces.
Better UX = Better SaaS Most SaaS growth problems aren’t marketing issues—they’re UX issues. Every friction point adds up, and over time, users leave. Fixing UX mistakes can result in:
Higher activation rates
Increased retention
Lower churn
Greater customer satisfaction
