Mobitru vs Percy

Mobitru provides remote access to real Android and iOS devices and desktop browsers for manual and automated testing of web, native, and hybrid applications. Automated browser testing covers Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, with support for tools including Appium, Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, Espresso, and XCUITest. Visual testing captures screenshots and compares them using pixel-accurate or tolerance-based differences across browsers and real mobile devices. Device controls include camera image injection, Touch ID, GPS settings, push notifications, orientation, and booking. Teams can also test connected-device sensors, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth pairing. Deployment options include public and private cloud, on-premises device labs behind a company firewall, and hybrid setups. The maker lists SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3 Type II, and ISO 27001 certifications. Team device sessions are limited to five hours. Personal accounts are only for EPAM employees and have a 15-minute monthly quota, with sessions limited to one minute on premium devices or two minutes on other devices. Application files can be up to 4 GB. Pricing is on request; the MCP quick start requires an Enterprise AI plan with MCP enabled.

Percy is a visual testing tool that captures DOM snapshots and assets, renders them, and checks them against earlier snapshots to identify visual changes. It can render pages across browsers and platforms, including desktop and mobile, and compare responsive layouts at configurable widths. Percy groups visual changes while filtering noise and freezes animations and other dynamic elements to reduce false positives. Snapshots from tests running on different processes or machines can be grouped into a single build. Its review workflow includes status updates, notifications, comments, baseline management, branch logic, and approval carryforwards. Percy supports web applications, component libraries, end-to-end testing frameworks, static sites, custom SDK integrations, and native mobile applications. The CLI can capture and upload snapshots without an automation script. A free plan includes 5,000 screenshots per month; paid plans have fixed screenshot allocations, with extra screenshots charged at an overage rate. Desktop costs $199 a month billed annually, and Desktop & Mobile costs $599 a month billed annually.
