• The human fallback covers scenarios automation genuinely cannot reach.
• Anyone on the team can author a test.
• Results in minutes, integrated into the deployment pipeline.

• Natural-language tests remain readable by stakeholders while executing deterministically.
• Bundles visual, accessibility and API checks that would otherwise be three purchases.
• Strong story for migrating away from an unmaintainable Selenium suite.

• Human runs get expensive quickly at any real frequency.
• Human testers lack product context, so results need interpretation.
• Web only.

• Enterprise-only pricing and sales motion.
• Tests live in the vendor cloud, not your repository.
• Smaller ecosystem and community than the incumbents.

Teams that need broad release-gate coverage including flows nobody wants to automate.

Enterprise QA functions replacing legacy Selenium without hiring more engineers.
