In their own words
BenchCanvas
BenchCanvas is a visual benchmarking tool for digital products that maps website journeys onto a canvas. It captures screens in a flow and connects them along the site's navigation path; its crawler captures direct links from a page and is described as working well on most websites. A Chrome extension can record private flows behind a login. Users can place multiple flows on one canvas to compare URLs side by side, add sticky notes, comment on screens, and insert images by dragging, dropping, or pasting. Shared links let teammates or clients edit the canvas. AI can generate UX analysis and answer questions about screens or journeys. Cursor or Claude can use MCP to read flows, screens, comments, and notes; an example workflow organizes open comments into a task list. Canvases export as high-resolution PNG or PDF images. BenchCanvas runs on the web and as a Chrome extension. Its Free plan is presented for exploring the product during private beta; Pro and Team have pricing marked Coming soon.
FlowSnap
FlowSnap turns app screenshots into sitemaps and user-flow diagrams for product managers, UX designers, and indie developers. Its infinite canvas supports panning, pinch zoom from 10% to 200%, color-tagged cards, and text annotations. A project can import up to 50 screenshots from a photo library or Google Drive. Users can connect cards with solid or dashed lines, customize connection colors, and label transitions. Optional AI tools analyze screenshots, suggest connections, and generate a Markdown sitemap summary; they require the user's Claude API key and send screenshots to Anthropic's Claude API. Projects are stored locally and can optionally sync to a FlowSnap folder in Google Drive, while the listing says FlowSnap does not store project data. Exports include PNG, PDF, SVG, JSON, and Markdown. The free plan allows three projects and adds a watermark to PNG exports. FlowSnap Pro costs $2.99 a month or $19.99, paid once, with unlimited projects, PDF export, watermark-free PNG, SVG, and priority AI features. Supported platforms are Android, iOS, and macOS.
