What is QA Wolf?
QA Wolf builds and runs end-to-end test suites for web, mobile and desktop apps. Its agents plan a flow, write the test, check it works and re-run related flows; when a test fails they reproduce it, repair the test if the app merely changed, or file a bug with video, trace and logs in Linear or Jira. Tests are written in open-source Playwright and Appium, and you can export the code at any time.
The self-serve platform charges per run: $1 for a web or Electron test on Linux and $2 for mobile (real iPhones and iPads, Android emulators or devices) or Windows and macOS desktop, each run covering up to 5 minutes with up to 3 attempts. There are no seat, parallelism or AI-credit charges. Coverage-as-a-Service adds QA engineers who build and maintain the suite, investigate every failure within 24 hours and guarantee 80% or more automated coverage, priced through sales.
The Seattle company has raised $57 million, according to TechCrunch, reports 200,000,000 test minutes run, and lists DoorDash, Figma and Drata as customers. Its trust centre shows SOC 2 Type 2 and HIPAA reports.

Is QA Wolf worth it?
Most teams know which flows should never break: sign-up, checkout, the invoice export a big customer depends on. Few have someone whose job is keeping the tests for those flows alive.
QA Wolf sells that job. Its agents write the tests, pick which ones a pull request needs, and when one fails they work out whether the app is broken or the test is stale; stale tests get fixed, real bugs get filed with a video. On the managed plan, human QA engineers sit on top and look at every failure within 24 hours. Because the output is plain Playwright and Appium code you can export, you are not locked into its runner.
The per-run price is clear. A web test is $1 and a mobile or desktop test $2, billed in 5-minute blocks with up to 3 retries free. QA Wolf's own example, 50 web tests on every working day, comes to about $1,083 a month. That is more than Momentic's $500 Scale plan, though the two meter differently, and QA Wolf's price includes the AI investigation and has no seat charges. Coverage reaches real iPhones, Android, Windows and macOS apps, wider than Momentic's browsers, emulators and simulators.
The catch: costs scale with how often you run. Running the same 50 tests on every pull request instead of once a day can multiply the bill quickly, and long mobile flows cost $4 once they pass 5 minutes. The managed service, the part with the 80% coverage guarantee, has no public price; a third-party estimate from Sacra puts typical contracts at $100,000 to $200,000 a year, which QA Wolf has not confirmed. Its benchmark claim of 93% against Claude Code's 78% is the company's own.
Our take: for a funded product team that has never had dependable end-to-end coverage, handing the whole problem to QA Wolf is cheaper than hiring a QA team; for a small team happy to own its tests, Playwright's free agents or a cheaper tool go further per dollar.
Where it earns its place
A 25-engineer marketplace with web and iOS apps
Stop checkout regressions reaching customers
Coverage-as-a-Service builds the suite in Playwright and Appium, runs it before each release and reviews every failure within 24 hours; the price is quoted by sales.
A head of engineering at a B2B SaaS company budgeting for testing
Run a nightly regression suite at a predictable cost
Self-serve at $1 a web run: 50 tests every working day is about 13,000 runs, or $13,000 a year by QA Wolf's own example, with a monthly spending cap available.

Connect the QA Wolf MCP server at app.qawolf.com/api/mcp; the agent creates or updates the test and results come back to the coding agent, the pull request or Slack.
Before you commit
- Setup
- Sign up for free starter runs, or bring existing Playwright tests; the managed service starts with QA Wolf's team building the suite.
- Integrations
- MCP server for Claude Code, Codex and Cursor; Slack, Teams, GitHub and GitLab triggers; bugs filed in Linear or Jira.
- Data and privacy
- QA Wolf says it does not train or fine-tune models on customer data. The trust centre lists SOC 2 Type 2 and HIPAA reports and a penetration test, available on request. Which AI tools train on your data?
- Cost at scale
- 50 web tests a working day cost about $1,083 a month; mobile and desktop runs are double, and running per pull request multiplies run counts. Volume discounts through sales.
- Limits
- Each run covers 5 minutes and 3 attempts; longer tests bill extra blocks; managed service pricing is not public.
What’s good
- Agents investigate failures and separate broken tests from real bugs
- Tests are exportable Playwright and Appium code
- Web, real iOS devices, Android, Windows and macOS
- Clear per-run pricing with no seats or AI credits
- SOC 2 Type 2 and HIPAA; no training on customer data
What’s not
- Bills grow with run frequency, not suite size
- Managed Coverage-as-a-Service price not published
- Runs over 5 minutes are billed in extra blocks
- Benchmark figures are the company's own
Best for
Product teams without a QA department who want reliable end-to-end coverage across web and mobile without maintaining it themselves.
