It saved me a lot of time and helped me find issues quickly. The platform is simple to use and very helpful for compatibility testing. > > **Cons**: The cost of using BrowserStack feels a bit high, especially for small teams. Sometimes the pricing doesn’t seem fair for the features offered. It would be better if they had more flexible or cheaper plans. > > My overall experience with BrowserStack was good. I enjoyed using it for browser and device testing. It helped me make sure my websites worked well everywhere. The platform is reliable and easy to use. ----- ### "Overall feedback" — 3.0/5 > **Lua** | *9 September 2024* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Some features are nice, such as being able to add subfolders, importing test cases from CSV files, and filtering by custom date range (FINALLY), dragging and dropping test cases (this is extremely helpful; we would like to see the same functionality applied in test cases inside of a test run. > > **Cons**: REPORTS. 1. It would be nice if we could filter reports by tags 2. It would be nice to create a report from all the projects instead of only individual ones Test runs: 1. It would be nice if we could also drag and drop the test cases inside a test run 2. It would also be a game changer if we could filter test runs by tags. My team and I would love to use tags a bit more, but at the moment, we feel its usage is pretty limited. > > Overall, my experience has been good. Sometimes there are some annoying bugs, but I'm glad you guys are introducing new features. The custom data range filtering will be a game changer for my team. ----- ### "Fast and Efficient Browser Testing" — 5.0/5 > **Yash** | *9 July 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: BrowserStack is easy to use and offers excellent browser and device coverage for efficient cross-browser testing. It saves time by quickly identifying compatibility issues across different environments. > > **Cons**: The pricing can be expensive for smaller teams, and remote sessions may occasionally experience slight lag. Some advanced features also take time for new users to learn. > > Overall, my experience with BrowserStack has been very good. It's a reliable and user-friendly platform that makes cross-browser testing fast and efficient. ----- ### "The Unfair Advantage Every QA/Automation Team Deserves" — 5.0/5 > **Yogesh** | *2 April 2026* | Chemicals | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Five years on the enterprise plan and the one thing I like most is how BrowserStack completely removes infrastructure as a problem. Real devices with SIM support, thousands of browser and OS combinations, instant availability, no maintenance overhead. App Live and App Automate work seamlessly with Selenium, Appium, Playwright and most of automation tools without any complex setup. Parallel execution is significantly faster than any self hosted grid I have managed. The newly released no code low code testing is also best, accessibility testing and visual regression tools are production ready and not just checkboxes. For an enterprise team this is the best investment in the testing stack. > > **Cons**: Pricing is the one honest gripe. BrowserStack is worth every rupee but it is not cheap, and for smaller teams or startups the enterprise plan can feel like a stretch. Parallel session limits on lower tiers push you to upgrade faster than expected and when your team scales quickly, the cost scales with it in a way that requires a conversation with finance every renewal cycle. > > BrowserStack did not just improve our testing workflow, It transformed how our entire engineering culture thinks about quality. The chaos before was real. Flaky emulators, inconsistent local device setups, test results that meant nothing because the environment was never stable. Onboarding a new automation tool meant weeks of configuration, compatibility debugging and infrastructure work before a single meaningful test ran. From day one on the BS plan the difference was visible. Real devices, real browsers, real network conditions, available instantly, every single time. No queues, no "device is offline," no environment drift. The confidence in our test results changed overnight because the platform underneath them was finally reliable. Across multiple automation tools integration experience has been consistently smooth. Switching frameworks mid project did not mean rebuilding infrastructure, It meant updating a config and moving on. That kind of flexibility is rare and genuinely underappreciated until you have worked without it. App Live became the go to for exploratory testing on real devices with SIM support. App Automate handled mobile regression at a scale and speed a physical device lab three times our budget could not have matched. The freedom to choose between virtual and real devices depending on the test objective gave us precision we simply did not have before. The no code and low code capabilities brought manual QA members directly into the automation process, accessibility testing and visual regression are now standard pipeline stages, not separate afterthought tools. Everything lives in one platform, reporting is unified and session management gives complete visibility into what ran, when and exactly why something failed. Enterprise support has been a genuine partner throughout, Issues resolved by people who actually understand automation deeply, not generic ticket handlers. There is a reason it remains the one tool in the stack that has never been up for replacement. It is not just a platform, it is the foundation our entire quality process is built on. ----- Page: 1 / 32\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/162900/browserstack?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/162900/browserstack) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
