• Transparent pricing and no enterprise sales process.
• EU-based, which simplifies some data-residency conversations.
• Responsive support relative to company size.

• The broadest device and browser matrix available, including older versions and new devices quickly.
• Works with essentially every automation framework, so migration is low-risk.
• Manual live testing on real devices is excellent for reproducing customer reports.

• Smaller device and browser matrix than the leaders.
• Fewer adjacent products — no visual testing or analytics suite.
• Small vendor risk for critical infrastructure.

• Parallel-session pricing gets expensive fast, and idle capacity is still billed.
• Remote sessions are slower than local execution, lengthening feedback loops.
• The product surface has sprawled; you will be sold several adjacent modules.
