Sauce Labs review

Sauce Labs is a mature testing cloud with simple plans. Live Testing costs $39 a month billed annually for manual sessions, and automation starts with Virtual Device Cloud at $149 a month per parallel test billed annually, or $199 month to month. That plan covers thousands of desktop browser and OS combinations plus mobile emulators and simulators, with unlimited users, unlimited automated testing minutes, secure tunneling, videos and screenshots, a REST API and 500 visual testing snapshots a month. Real Device Cloud at $199 a month moves automation onto thousands of real mobile devices. Security buyers get SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 27701 and ISO 42001 reports through the Trust Center. The trade-offs are price and gating: the automation entry point costs more than BrowserStack or TestMu AI, self-serve plans stop at 5 concurrent sessions, and the Sauce AI test authoring and insights agents, single sign-on and private device clouds are Enterprise features.
