Before you choose
Check the way you can try it
A free plan and a free trial are different options. Check which one fits your evaluation: TestCafe and WebdriverIO list a free plan, while Katalon Studio lists a 30-day trial.
Match the execution setup
Compare cloud execution with the self-hosted option against the way you plan to run browser checks. The platform list includes web, API, Windows, macOS and Linux options, but support varies by tool.
Compare run limits
Look at parallel runs and the monthly run limit together. Those figures can help you assess whether a tool's published capacity fits your workflow.
Check engines and languages
Compare the browser engines and language support with the tools your team plans to use. Check the maker's current product details before choosing.
Review code access
If you need to read or change the code, check the tool's licence and whether it is open source. CodeceptJS lists open source as its pricing note.
