Diffy vs Happo

Diffy is a visual regression testing service that captures website pages and compares screenshots to show changes. It can capture pages as logged-in users and test admin pages without requiring code. To help with changing content, users can mock dynamic page elements while checking layout and styles. Diffy detects vertical shifts and provides pixel-perfect comparisons, thumbnails, individual approvals and shareable diff links. AI summaries group changes by type and prioritize them by impact. Listed integrations include GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI, Playwright, GitHub pull requests, Zapier, Figma, Slack, webhooks and a Claude skills plugin. Local development integrations include DDEV, Lando and Docksal, and an on-premises installation option is listed. The free plan includes 500 screenshots per month, two environments and one month of data retention. Pro costs $67 a month when billed annually and includes 2,000 screenshots per month, multiple environments, CI automation and six months of retention. CI and API access, custom environments and history beyond one month require a paid plan.

Happo checks interface changes with visual and accessibility regression testing. It captures screenshots of component variants in browsers; a snapshot is one variant in one browser, and a run usually occurs once per CI build. Accessibility testing is included on every plan. Framework options include Storybook, Playwright, Cypress, and a generic API. Repository integrations include GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, and GitLab, though GitLab support is experimental. Its CLI detects CI providers such as GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Travis CI, and Azure DevOps. Available browsers vary by plan: the listed options are Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge, and iOS Safari. The free plan includes 5,000 snapshots per month; once the quota is reached, the account pauses until the next cycle or an upgrade. Paid plans start at $149/mo, with additional snapshots charged on paid tiers. Happo began as a project in 2014, and its commercial product launched in 2017.
