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.
