# Zerocheck vs Playwright

Choose between a code-first browser suite and a service for turning a release checklist into editable browser tests.

## What Playwright does well

- A code-first framework with Chromium, Firefox and WebKit support.
- Built-in assertions, resilient locators, tracing and parallel execution.

## What to evaluate with Playwright

- Choose the framework when your team needs low-level browser control or a broader browser matrix.
- Include test authoring, fixtures and failure investigation in the comparison; resilient locators already reduce many selector failures.

## How Zerocheck differs

- Start in the web app: describe the user flow and expected outcome, then review the drafted steps and real browser result.
- Save and edit tests in the web app, or download individual YAML tests to run with the optional CLI, on your machine or in an existing CI job.
- Open a run to see each step's screenshots, console errors and the exact steps that ran. A recording is available when no credentials are configured.

## Frequently asked questions

### How should I compare Zerocheck with Playwright?

Use the same real user flow, test data and expected outcome. Inspect one passing run, one intentional product failure and one harmless UI change. Compare setup, review effort and supported scope.

### What does Zerocheck include?

Zerocheck is US$500 per month, with US$500 in credits at sign up: a dedicated instance for your team, with hands-on setup of your first tests. About 1,000 test runs a month are included; more by agreement. It is month to month, and you can cancel at any time. Your team supplies the app, test accounts and expected outcomes.

### Can I keep my existing test suite?

Yes. Evaluate Zerocheck alongside it for selected browser flows. There is no automatic migration or import of another framework’s test code.
