Why choose Cloud

Best for teams that want to start fast with zero ops overhead.

Zero Infrastructure

No servers to provision, no databases to manage, no updates to apply. Sign up and start building tests in minutes.

Always Up to Date

Every new feature, improvement, and security patch is available instantly. You're always on the latest version.

Scale Easily

Add agents as your testing needs grow. No capacity planning required — just connect another machine.

Lower Upfront Cost

Pay only for the agents you need. Start with one agent and expand as your team grows.

Why choose On-Premise

Best for organizations that need full data control and unlimited scale.

Complete Data Control

Your test data, application URLs, credentials, and reports never leave your network. Full data sovereignty.

Unlimited Agents

Connect as many agents as you need with no per-agent fees. One flat annual price covers everything.

Compliance Ready

Ideal for regulated industries — finance, healthcare, government — where data residency and access control are mandatory.

Network Isolation

Test internal applications behind firewalls without exposing them to external services. Everything runs inside your perimeter.
