# Signup flow analysis

> Capture and compare how products convert visitors into users, from Get Started to first login.

Studying signup flows usually means creating throwaway accounts and burner emails. BenchCanvas captures the registration path so you can compare how the best products convert visitors to users.

## Workflow

<Steps>
  <Step title="Capture the signup path">
    Start a [capture](/capture/url-capture) from the signup or Get Started URL. For steps behind a login, [record the flow](/extension/record-authenticated-flows) with the extension.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Compare registration patterns">
    Place several products' signup flows in [frames](/canvas/flows-and-frames) side by side.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Analyze form and friction">
    Run [AI reports](/ai/insight-reports) like conversion optimization and content and microcopy review on the form screens.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Annotate what converts">
    Mark form length, social auth, verification steps, and progressive profiling with [comments](/collaborate/comments).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What to compare

* Number of steps and form fields from start to first value
* Social sign-in options versus email and password
* Email verification and progressive profiling
* The first screen a user sees after signing in
