• An open-source community edition adds a self-hosted option alongside the managed cloud.
• Natural-language steps are readable by product owners.
• Web, mobile and API in one authoring model.

• Removes the maintenance burden entirely — no flaky-test triage on your side.
• You own the Playwright code, so leaving is possible.
• Coverage arrives in weeks rather than quarters.

• Structured natural-language steps use a defined syntax; plan time to learn it during onboarding.
• The community and cloud editions differ in feature coverage; check the edition against your requirements.

• It is headcount, not software — the cost profile is completely different from a licence.
• External team needs deep product context to test meaningfully.
• Fast-moving products can outpace the feedback loop with an external author.
