In their own words
Percy
Percy automates visual testing by capturing DOM snapshots and assets, rendering them across browsers, and comparing results with earlier snapshots to flag visual changes. Responsive checks use configurable widths, while snapshot stabilization freezes animations and other dynamic elements to reduce false positives. Percy groups snapshots into the same build when tests run in separate processes or on different machines. Its review workflow includes status updates, notifications, comments, comparisons, and automatic diff matching. Listed integrations include GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Storybook, WebdriverIO, and Jenkins. Documented frameworks include Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, Puppeteer, Ember, Appium, and others. Percy documentation describes testing across real devices and desktop and mobile browsers. The free plan includes 5,000 screenshots per month, unlimited users, and unlimited projects. Desktop costs $199 a month, billed annually, for 10,000 screenshots per month; Desktop & Mobile costs $599 a month, billed annually, for 25,000 screenshots per month. Paid plans have fixed screenshot allowances, and additional usage is charged at the overage rate. Enterprise pricing is custom and unlisted.
