EyeWorks

EyeWorks is software for managing eye-tracking research, from study design and data collection to analysis and reporting. Researchers can create scripts that present instructions, questions, images, web pages, videos and external interfaces. During recording, the software can capture eye data along with keypresses, audio, scrolling, mouse clicks and video for remote viewing. Analysis tools include visualizations such as heatmaps, gaze traces and gaze clusters, as well as statistics, charts, graphs and tables. Results can be exported to CSV or standard statistical analysis packages. EyeWorks is described as compatible with hardware from all major eye-tracker manufacturers and includes an SDK for integrating customer software; it also integrates natively with leading simulation products. Optional modules add cognitive workload measurement, scene-camera recording, multi-display tracking, and face and eyelid tracking. The Scene Camera module supports studies involving mobile and tablet apps, physical media and real-world objects. EyeWorks is offered in Design, Lite, Pro and Premier editions. Pricing is available by contacting EyeTracking.

EyeWorks covers the workflow from study creation through reporting, with optional modules for additional tracking needs. Researchers should check edition details and module requirements with EyeTracking before choosing a version.

EyeWorks is aimed at researchers who use eye tracking across different fields. It may suit teams that need study scripting, data capture and analysis in one research workflow.

EyeWorks is a paid eye-tracking research suite covering study scripting, live data capture, analysis, and reporting. It suits researchers who need a broad workflow and hardware flexibility, particularly teams adding specialized tracking modules. The trade-off is a quote-based edition structure that requires a conversation with EyeTracking before you can compare costs.

Overview

EyeWorks is built to carry a project from experimental design to exported results. Its Design stage lets researchers assemble scripts with instructions, questions, images, web pages, videos, and external interfaces. Record then captures gaze data alongside keypresses, audio, scrolling, mouse clicks, and video for remote viewing. Analysis tools turn those recordings into visualizations, statistics, charts, graphs, and tables, with exports for CSV and standard statistical-analysis packages.

That end-to-end scope is the central reason to consider EyeWorks. It can reduce the need to move studies among separate scripting, capture, and reporting tools. The product is intended for eye-tracking researchers across fields, and its compatibility with eye trackers from all major manufacturers is useful when a lab already owns mixed hardware.

Key features

Study creation and capture

Design supports varied stimulus types and external interfaces, making it suitable for structured experiments rather than only simple screen tests. Record adds contextual inputs such as audio, interaction events, scrolling, mouse activity, and video, which can help explain what happened during a session instead of leaving gaze data in isolation. The study mode is live and the input method is hardware-based.

Analysis and output

Researchers get Heatmaps, GazeTraces, GazeClusters, GazeStats, GazeClips, BeeSwarms, and Dynamic Heatmaps. This range supports both visual review and quantitative reporting. CSV export and output to standard statistical packages make it practical to continue analysis externally rather than being locked into one reporting environment.

Modules and integrations

Optional modules extend the core workflow. Cognitive Workload adds real-time workload measurement using EyeTracking’s Index of Cognitive Activity. Scene Camera supports mobile and tablet apps, physical media, objects, and real-world environments. Multi-Display handles multi-screen tracking, while other optional capabilities cover face and eyelid tracking. These are meaningful additions for specialized studies, but they also mean the required edition and modules must be matched carefully to the research design.

EyeWorks integrates natively with leading simulation products and includes an SDK for customer software. That is a stronger fit for simulation or custom-interface research than for teams seeking a standalone, minimal gaze recorder.

Pricing

EyeTracking uses custom pricing. The vendor presents Design, Lite, Pro, and Premier editions, with pricing supplied by contacting EyeTracking. There is no published price, seat allowance, quota, trial period, renewal term, or free plan to use for an apples-to-apples budget decision.

Lite is the logical starting point for researchers whose projects need a narrower feature set, while Pro or Premier is more appropriate when advanced analysis, integrations, or optional modules are required. Design is aimed at teams focused on building studies. Because module requirements vary—Multi-Display, Scene Camera, and Cognitive Workload each require their respective EyeWorks module—the cheaper edition is not automatically the lower-cost choice once a project’s hardware and tracking needs are included.

Platforms

EyeWorks supports Android and iOS. Through the Scene Camera Module, it also supports iOS, Android, and Windows Phone devices, including mobile and tablet app tracking. Hardware compatibility spans eye trackers from all major manufacturers. Its native simulation integrations and SDK broaden deployment options for custom software environments.

Who it's for

EyeWorks is best for academic, commercial, and applied eye-tracking researchers who want one system for scripting, live collection, visualization, statistics, and reporting. It is especially compelling for labs combining different tracker brands, simulation products, or mobile and physical-world stimuli. Teams needing transparent self-serve pricing, a free starting tier, or a lightweight software-only workflow should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Complete research workflow: Design, Record, and Analysis cover the path from study setup through reporting.
• Broad capture context: Keypresses, audio, scrolling, mouse clicks, and video add useful behavioral context to gaze data.
• Flexible hardware and output: Support for major tracker manufacturers plus CSV and statistical-package exports helps established labs preserve their tooling.
• Specialized expansion: Cognitive Workload, Scene Camera, Multi-Display, face, and eyelid capabilities address demanding study designs.

Cons

• Quote-based buying: No public prices or trial terms make early budgeting and edition comparison difficult.
• Module dependencies: Specialized features require separate corresponding modules, so the core edition may not cover a full project.
• Client-only support access: The support site is limited to EyeTracking clients, with prospective users directed to contact the company.

Alternatives

GazePlotter is the better choice for an open-source, no-cost tool spanning desktop, mobile, and web platforms.

GazeRecorder fits users who need free gaze recording for non-commercial use.

Hawkeye suits small iOS and web projects that can work within a free plan capped at one project and five sessions, or a $39.99 monthly Starter plan.

Retra is a free, open-source Android option.

RealEye is preferable when a browser-based service with a free trial and published annual Basic pricing is more important.

Chiasm offers API and web deployment with pay-per-use Flex billing or subscription tiers.

iTrace is a free MIT-licensed, self-hosted and web-oriented alternative.

Labvanced is a freemium web platform with a free tier, trial, and broader API and desktop access.

Verdict

Choose EyeWorks if your lab needs a mature, hardware-agnostic pipeline from live study creation through detailed analysis, with room for simulation, mobile, multi-display, or workload modules. Look elsewhere if you need upfront pricing, a free plan, or a simpler self-serve product; EyeWorks’ custom editions and add-on requirements make procurement part of the decision.
