In their own words
Detox
Detox is an open-source framework for end-to-end testing of React Native mobile apps. It runs tests on real devices or simulators and simulates user interactions, with JavaScript tests for iOS and Android. Its gray-box method accesses app internals, while monitoring asynchronous app activity to reduce flaky tests. An async-await API supports breakpoints in asynchronous tests. Teams can use Detox APIs with any test runner or independently; Jest integration is included. The project describes it as suitable for CI and documents CI workflows. Detox is free under the MIT License, supports self-hosted runners and visual testing, and is listed for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS and Windows. React Native v0.77.x through v0.84.x is fully compatible with the New Architecture; later versions may work but are not thoroughly tested. Expo integration is community-driven and not maintained by the Detox team. Non-React Native Android apps are not supported. iOS simulator setup requires applesimutils, which the setup guide says is for macOS only.
Endtest
Endtest is an agentic AI platform for creating, managing and running end-to-end automated tests for web and mobile applications. Its Test Creation Agent accepts a goal in plain English, runs it in a real browser, observes the result and adapts the test. Endtest says teams can build tests without coding or advanced QA engineering experience. Maintenance features include self-healing locators, AI assertions and variables, and failure analysis that groups flaky tests and explains failures. Listed capabilities also include visual, API, email and SMS, and accessibility testing, plus AI test import. Tests run on real Windows and macOS machines with Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. Mobile testing covers native, hybrid and web apps on real devices, iOS simulators and Android emulators through public or private device clouds. Plans begin at $175 a month; Starter includes 1–5 parallel tests and 30-day result retention, while Pro costs $450 a month and includes 2–5 parallel tests and 90-day retention. A 14-day trial is available, and there is no free plan.
