Composite

66 / 100

Language breadth (60) is reasonable; mobile (65) is decent for the segment.

Pricing

Public

Base from EUR 3,850 per seat (Fixed or Floating); Pro EUR 6,935; Advanced custom

Three published tiers, not one: Base from EUR 3,850 per seat (pick one of desktop, mobile or web), Pro EUR 6,935 (all three plus the TestExecute parallel engine and Intelligent Quality), Advanced custom-priced. Licences are Fixed (one user, physical machines) or Floating (multiple users, physical and virtual). SmartBear serves this page in the visitor's local currency, so confirm the USD list price on the quote; the $3,294 figure this page previously carried could not be confirmed against the page as served.
