Qase vs Testiny

Feature checklists rarely decide anything. What decides it is the pricing metric, who has to write the tests, and which limitation you can live with.

Entry price

From $35 per user/month (Teams, billed annually; $42 monthly)

Free tier

From $18.5 per user/month (Starter, up to 25 users; viewers $3.70)

Free tier

What drives the bill

The metric that actually scales your invoice.

The old Startup tier is gone — it is now Free, Teams and Enterprise. Read-only collaborator seats are $10 each, which keeps the cost down where many people only need to see results.

Prices are published in USD: Starter $18.50 per user/month up to 25 users, Business $20.50 and Enterprise $30, with read-only viewer seats at $3.70. Testiny Server is from $300 per user/year in 5-user packages. EU-hosted with an on-premise option.

Free tier

Free plan aimed at students, hobbyists and non-profits: 2 projects, 500 MB storage, 30-day history.

Free for up to 3 users.
