Testiny vs Zephyr Scale

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

From $10 per month flat for up to 10 users ($100/year)

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.

Like Xray, priced per Jira user via the Marketplace, so it bills every Jira user rather than just testers. Beyond the 10-user flat tier expect about $5.68/user/month (e.g. $6,810/year for 100 users), dropping with volume. Zephyr Squad is a cheaper, lighter sibling product.

Free for up to 3 users.

• EU hosting and self-hosting option simplify GDPR conversations.
• Genuinely quick to set up and learn.
• Fair, transparent pricing.

• Purpose-built case repository with parameterisation and shared steps that scale better than issue-based storage.
• Cross-project reporting for programme-level quality visibility.
• Version history on test cases, which matters for audit.

• Small feature set relative to TestRail or Xray.
• Very small vendor.
• Limited third-party ecosystem.

• Two similarly named products (Squad and Scale) cause genuine purchasing confusion.
• Still bound to Jira's performance envelope.
• Per-Jira-user pricing again inflates cost for large organisations.

European small and mid-sized teams wanting simple test management with local data residency.

Larger Jira organisations with test libraries big enough that reuse matters.
