What is Autify?
Autify is an AI-powered no-code test automation platform founded in 2019 in Japan with global reach. They offer record-and-replay test creation with AI self-healing, built on Playwright under the hood. With $32M in total funding including a $13M Series B in 2024 from LG Technology Ventures and East Ventures, they provide web and mobile testing with a free tier for individuals.
Pricing: Free tier for individuals. Paid plans with custom pricing. Two-week full trial available
Strengths
- +Record-and-replay makes test creation intuitive for non-technical users
- +Playwright-based execution — developer-friendly under the hood
- +Well-funded ($32M) with proven product-market fit across multiple geographies
- +Free tier for individuals lowers barrier to adoption
Weaknesses
- −Record-and-replay gets tests built fast, but maintaining coverage and triaging failures stays on your team
- −Custom pricing on paid plans means no cost transparency until you talk to sales
- −Record-and-replay can be limiting for complex multi-step workflows
- −No dedicated QA engineers reviewing your test runs — failure investigation is DIY
Common Autify limitations
Autify does what it promises. But teams still run into friction:
Tool only — no QA team behind it
Recording tests is the easy part. Deciding what to test, investigating failures, and gating releases is the hard part, and it is still on your team. Bug0 puts a dedicated QA engineer on that
Record-and-replay limitations
Recording works for simple flows but struggles with complex scenarios. Bug0 accepts plain English, video, and recordings. Your dedicated QA engineer handles complex cases
No human verification
Test runs produce automated pass/fail. Figuring out what failed and why is your team's job. Bug0 delivers pre-investigated bug reports with video and repro steps
Opaque paid pricing
Free tier is limited. Paid plans require contacting sales. Bug0 is $2,500/mo flat, everything included
Bug0 vs Autify
Recording tests is the easy part. Triage, verification, and release gating are the hard part. With Autify, they are still on your team.

Choose Autify if
- You prefer record-and-replay as your primary test creation method

- You need mobile testing alongside web testing
Choose Bug0 if
- You want a dedicated QA engineer handling everything for $2,500/mo flat
- You want 100% critical user flows covered in 1–2 weeks without taxing your engineering team
- You want multiple test creation methods (plain English, video, recording)
