In their own words
Browserling
Browserling provides cloud-hosted virtual browsers for checking websites and links across browsers and operating systems. Its listed browser coverage includes Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera, and Internet Explorer on real operating systems, as well as mobile browsers on Android and iOS devices, including iPhones and iPads. Users can inspect pages at different screen sizes, resolutions, and device viewports. SSH tunnels provide access to private or local development sites. Other listed tools include screenshots, file uploads and downloads, geo-browsing, browser extensions, and bookmarklets. A free sandbox opens a URL in a remote isolated browser session. The Live API can embed interactive browsers in applications and supports automation, continuous integration, and SIEM/SOAR workflows. Browserling says each session runs in an isolated virtual machine that is destroyed afterward; traffic uses TLS 1.2 or higher, and URLs, session content, and files are not persistently retained. Paid plans begin at $9 a month billed annually. Listed options include Starter at $9 a month billed annually, Developer at $19 a month billed annually, and Live API at $99 a month as a starting price.
CloudQA
CloudQA is a cloud-based test automation platform for web testing. Its recorder captures actions such as clicks, typing, and dropdown selections to create repeatable test cases. The platform lists functional, performance, security, API, and accessibility testing, with support for multiple datasets and switching between environments. CloudQA says its AI can repair broken locators after minor interface changes and summarize test failure reasons. Documented integrations include Slack, PagerDuty, Opsgenie, Confluence, TestRail, Jira, Jenkins, Travis CI, CircleCI, Azure DevOps, AWS CodePipeline, GitHub, and GCP. Slack failure notifications are limited to scheduled test suites and TruMonitor workflows. The free Kickstart plan includes local automated execution, unlimited API tests, seven days of test history, and Chrome. Scale Up adds cloud executions, scheduling, and one month of history; unlimited cloud runs are subject to fair use. Scale Up is $11,999 a month, with annual pricing shown as $99/m. Synthetic monitoring and native mobile apps require separate licensing.
