If one of these is a hard requirement, one of the tools above will serve you better right now.
Runs use a real Chromium browser at a desktop viewport. No Firefox, Safari or mobile viewports yet. Reflect, Rainforest, QA Wolf, testRigor, mabl and Autify Nexus cover more browsers.
BuniOD tests web applications; native mobile testing is in development. Today, look at testRigor, QA Wolf, mabl, Autify or Reflect for iOS/Android apps.
Runs are on demand or once a day at a time you choose. mabl (every 5 min+) and QA Wolf (hourly) schedule more often.
There is no GitHub Actions, GitLab or Jenkins integration or public API yet. If you need a test on every pull request, Momentic, Checksum, QA Wolf or Reflect fit better.
Scenarios live in BuniOD, not as Playwright code in your repo. QA Wolf, Checksum and Autify Nexus give you code you own.
Paid plans are activated by our team after you email support@buniod.com — not yet a self-serve checkout.
Free plan: 500K tokens per period, every current feature, no card. Describe one flow and see the scenario BuniOD generates.
