• Removes the maintenance burden entirely — no flaky-test triage on your side.
• You own the Playwright code, so leaving is possible.
• Coverage arrives in weeks rather than quarters.

• Very low barrier to a first working suite — recording plus a managed browser cloud.
• Maintenance burden is genuinely reduced by the self-healing model.
• Covers web and native mobile from one vendor.

• It is headcount, not software — the cost profile is completely different from a licence.
• External team needs deep product context to test meaningfully.
• Fast-moving products can outpace the feedback loop with an external author.

• No self-hosted option.
• Limited support for complex data-driven scenarios.
• Smaller international presence and support footprint than the US vendors.
