# Zerocheck vs QA Wolf

QA Wolf sells a usage-priced platform where your team turns prompts into Playwright tests and maintains them, and a managed service where QA Wolf owns the whole suite. Zerocheck is one assisted product: your team describes the flows, reviews the browser result and saves the tests it wants to run.

## What QA Wolf does well

- The QA Wolf Platform is self-serve and usage-priced: 1¢ per AI credit and 15¢ per runner minute, with no per-seat fee and a free trial. Your team turns prompts into deterministic Playwright tests, automates and maintains them, exports standard open-source Playwright code, and runs them in unlimited parallel on Chrome, Firefox and WebKit.
- Coverage as a Service is fully managed: QA Wolf creates, runs, investigates and maintains the end-to-end tests across web, iOS, Android and Electron, guarantees zero flakes with 24-hour investigation and maintenance, and delivers human-verified bug reports with video, traces and logs. It is custom-priced by the number of tests under management.

## What to evaluate with QA Wolf

- Decide which QA Wolf offering you are comparing. The cost question differs: AI credits and runner minutes on the platform, or a sales quote based on tests under management for the managed service.
- Check who confirms test intent. AI-generated coverage, from your prompts or from the managed service, still needs someone on your team to say which expected outcomes the release depends on, and how a failure is explained to the engineer who has to act on it.

## How Zerocheck differs

- Start in the web app: describe the user flow and expected outcome, then review the drafted steps and real browser result. Zerocheck does not crawl your app or map coverage for you.
- 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 pass after a transient retry stays labelled flaky; Zerocheck does not promise zero flakes, and assertion failures are never retried into a pass.

## Frequently asked questions

### How much does QA Wolf cost?

On 16 September 2026 QA Wolf’s pricing page lists two offerings. The Platform costs 1¢ per AI credit and 15¢ per runner minute, with no per-seat fees and a free trial. Coverage as a Service is custom-priced by the number of tests under management and quoted by sales. Zerocheck is US$500 per month, with US$500 in credits at sign up, for one project on a dedicated instance, with hands-on onboarding.

### Is QA Wolf worth the cost?

It depends on which offering you buy. The Platform is metered at 1¢ per AI credit and 15¢ per runner minute, so cost tracks how much you generate and run. Coverage as a Service is custom-priced per test under management and buys a zero-flake guarantee with 24-hour investigation, which suits a team handing the suite over. A team that wants to keep its suite and see every attempt starts with US$500 in Zerocheck credits and then pays a flat US$500 a month for a dedicated instance.

### Is QA Wolf worth it for a team with flaky end-to-end tests?

QA Wolf’s managed service guarantees zero flakes and investigates failures within 24 hours, which suits a team that wants to hand the suite over. Zerocheck keeps the suite with your team and shows every attempt, so a flaky pass stays visible rather than being guaranteed away. Run the same real flow through both, break the product on purpose, and compare what each result tells the engineer who has to act on it.

### How should I compare Zerocheck with QA Wolf?

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 who wrote the test, how much review it needed, what the failure report says and what the ongoing cost is.

### 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.
