Dear QA Professionals,

Over the past two years, TestFirst has been at the forefront of redefining software testing, offering our platform for free to over 1,000 organizations. We’ve helped teams around the globe streamline their QA processes, making testing simpler, faster, and more accessible. Today, we are excited to announce TestFirst 2.0—a transformative update that brings us closer to fulfilling our vision of making high-quality software testing available to all, regardless of their size or stage.

Why 2.0 Is Different

This release not only marks our most significant product upgrade to date but also signals our first step into commercializing our services with carefully designed plans that cater to different levels of QA needs.

What’s New in TestFirst 2.0

🎥 Screen Recording: One of our most-requested features is here! Capture every moment of your manual tests with built-in screen recording, ensuring you can log, analyze, and share tests with full visibility.

⚡ Quick Tests: Execute tests faster than ever without going through complex setup steps. Quick Tests are made for speed and efficiency.

🪟 Control Center: Now you can manage all your apps, teams, and organizations from our intuitive, brand new Control Center. Whether you’re switching between projects or organizations or accessing TestFirst apps, the new interface puts everything at your fingertips.

📱Mobile Test Automation for Android: We’re excited to announce the release of Mobile Test Automation for Android! TestFirst 2.0 extends its test automation capabilities to mobile, with iOS support in the pipeline. Available only for requesters.

🌐 New TestFirst website: We've completely revamped our website to allow for easier understanding and communication of our product features and value proposition.

✈️ Improved Onboarding: Your first steps with TestFirst just got a lot smoother with a tailored onboarding experience for teams of all sizes.

✨ Completely redesigned “TestFirst Automate”: We’ve completely redesigned TestFirst Automate to create a simpler, unified experience. With this update, automating your tests is more intuitive than ever.

🤖 Anton – Your Smarter AI Assistant: Anton (formerly known as the TestFirst AI Assistant) is now more capable than ever, with better natural language processing and expanded test automation features.

Introducing Our New Plans

For the first time, we’re introducing tiered plans to match the diverse needs of our users:

• FREE Plan: Focuses on providing unlimited test management, perfect for teams looking to consolidate and manage test cases, bug tracking, and foray into basic test automation.
• PLUS Plan: Ideal for teams actively engaged in manual testing, offering access to features like Screen Recording, Quick Tests, Exploratory Testing, and the Test Execution Module (TEM) without limits.
• PRO Plan: Built for teams that want to accelerate test automation with TestFirst Automate, our unified, all-in-one test automation system that allows test automation in any spoken language.

The PLUS plan is just $12 per user per month, while the PRO plan, tailored for advanced automation testing, is $18 per user per month. Explore more details and find the plan that works best for you at testfirst.com/plans.

And here’s the best part—while automation features in PRO plan are premium, the additional $6 you pay is credited back in cloud credits, allowing you to run tests in the cloud with no upfront costs. That’s right—your PRO subscription comes with $6 in cloud credits that you can use to run automated tests, meaning the switch from PLUS to PRO is essentially free. Why are we doing this? Because we believe in transparency and fairness. As we continue to build and refine TestFirst Automate, we don’t think it’s fair to charge you a premium for a product that’s still evolving.

Our Commitment to the QA Community

We are committed to delivering exceptional value to our customers, especially as we move into this new phase of our journey. To showcase this, we've implemented a Fair Billing Policy that includes:

1. Free Test Management—For Life: We’re committed to raising the global standard of QA tools, and part of that mission is to offer free test management to all users for as long as TestFirst exists. Whether you’re a small startup or an established QA agency, you can count on our core test management tools at no cost—forever.
2. Pay for What You Use: TestFirst only bills you for the seats on paid plans. Moreover, when it comes to our cloud credits, we believe in a simple “pay for what you use” model. You will never be charged for resources you didn’t consume. Our pricing is directly tied to usage, meaning you’ll only pay based on what you and your team need.
3. Cloud Credits Pricing: Cloud credits are billed based on your actual usage of cloud resources. We calculate these charges transparently, based on the services you consume while running your automated tests.

4. Standard SaaS Billing Practices: To ensure a smooth experience, TestFirst adheres to industry-standard SaaS billing practices:

   • Monthly/Annual Billing Options: Choose the billing cycle that best fits your needs.

   • Pro-Rated Charges: If you change your plan mid-cycle, we’ll apply fair pro-rated billing, so you only pay for what you use.

   • Easy Cancellation: Cancel at any time without hassle, and we’ll only bill you for the services you’ve already used.

A sincere thank you…

TestFirst 2.0 is more than just an update; it’s the beginning of a new chapter. We’re excited to continue this journey with you and to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in QA.

Sincerely,

Buğra Kara
