• No SDK and no code — a designer or PM can record a regression flow.
• Self-healing keeps recorded flows working across releases.
• Runs on every build without device lab management.

• Genuine real-carrier-network testing across many countries.
• Performance and media-quality instrumentation no functional tool provides.
• Strong fit for streaming, gaming and telecom use cases.

• Limited support for complex logic or data-driven scenarios.
• Cloud-only.
• Now part of Tricentis, so roadmap independence is uncertain.

• Expensive and enterprise-only.
• Overspecified for teams that only need functional pass/fail.
• Complex platform requiring onboarding effort.

Small mobile teams needing regression coverage without hiring for it.

Media, gaming and telecom companies where network-dependent quality is the product.
