Applitools Ultrafast Grid
What it is
Applitools Ultrafast Grid renders an application’s captured DOM state across browser, viewport, and mobile-device combinations during one test run. Teams can cover multiple configurations without rerunning the suite for each one. Rendering uses a DOM snapshot rather than an open connection to a remote browser, which the maker describes as a common source of flaky runs. Its cloud coverage does not require a locally maintained device farm or grid. Visual AI filters out anti-aliasing and minor rendering shifts while flagging changes that would look different to users. It also supports color-contrast checks against Web Content Accessibility Guidelines standards. Integrations span more than 60 testing frameworks, languages, source-code tools, CI/CD tools, and collaboration tools; listed frameworks include Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, Storybook, WebdriverIO, Appium, Puppeteer, and Robot Framework. Deployment options are SaaS, a dedicated cloud on Amazon, Azure, or GCP, or customer infrastructure. The Starter plan costs $667 a month, billed annually, and includes unlimited users with either 100,000 component checkpoints or 1,000 page checkpoints. A 14-day trial is available; there is no free plan.
