Appetize vs Quash Mobile Device Farm

Appetize runs uploaded native iOS and Android apps on virtual mobile devices that users access through a browser. It supports previews, sharing, and embedding, and lists mobile testing, demos, training, onboarding, and screenshot automation among its uses. Debugging features include network monitoring, logs, UI automation, proxy settings, device and operating-system selection, locale settings, mock location, and deep links. AppRecorder automation for Playwright supports building, running, and debugging end-to-end tests; the platform also lists a JavaScript SDK and REST API. Named CI/CD integrations include GitHub Actions, GitLab, Bitrise, and Jenkins. Customers upload app files themselves: iOS uploads must be Simulator builds, and IPA files are not supported. The free plan costs nothing and includes one user, two active devices, and 30 minutes refilled monthly, with a three-minute session limit. Starter costs $59 a month and Premium costs $319 a month; both include 500 minutes, then charge $0.06/min. Appetize says its availability promise is backed by a 99.9% uptime Service Level Agreement.

Quash Mobile Device Farm is a paid mobile testing platform from Brisk Labs for real Android and iOS devices, emulators, and local hardware. It runs tests in parallel across device matrices, and visual flows on real devices do not require scripts. Its desktop app turns plain-language instructions into executable mobile test actions and checks API responses and database state during the same run as UI testing. Each desktop test run generates a report with steps, screenshots, and logs. Native downloads are available for macOS Apple Silicon, macOS Intel, and Windows. Integrations include GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Vercel, Jenkins, Slack, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and MCP. Quash lists GDPR, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2022, and DPDPA compliance, and says it does not store, retain, or use customer data for AI model training. Enterprise options include private VPC or on-premise deployment, custom data residency, SSO, RBAC, and SCIM provisioning. Pricing is available on request, billed monthly or annually, and based mainly on test execution volume; dedicated devices cost extra. There is no free plan, but a free trial and guided evaluation are available. Full web-app testing is on the roadmap; current support covers Android and iOS simulators.
