• Nothing to install; a non-technical colleague can record a regression test in ten minutes.
• Handles file uploads, iframes and email verification, which trip up many no-code tools.
• Transparent published pricing, which is rare in this segment.

• Zero setup: no drivers, no browser downloads, works on any installed browser including mobile Safari on a real phone.
• Automatic waiting and stable selectors with very little configuration.
• Genuinely simple concurrency flag for parallel runs.

• Cloud-only, so testing a private environment requires network work.
• Not suited to very large suites or heavy conditional logic.
• Small vendor — check longevity if this becomes critical infrastructure.

• The proxy architecture occasionally breaks on apps with strict CSP, service workers or unusual auth flows.
• Smaller community and slower ecosystem growth than Playwright or Cypress.
• No component testing story.

Startups that need ten critical journeys covered without owning a framework.

Small teams who want a working cross-browser suite with the least possible setup.
