Write QA tests in plain English. Like, “click the thing, don’t crash.” QACrow reads your plan, fixes your questionable life choices, runs real browser tests, and hands you bugs that actually make sense. No enterprise contracts. No “book a demo.” No sales guy named Chad. Just you, your app, and a very judgmental AI crow making sure it doesn’t break in production. Built for people who ship.
Every QA platform I looked at started at $8,000/month.
Some didn't even have a free tier! You had to "talk to sales" to find out you couldn't afford them. That math works fine for a Fortune 500. It does not work for the wave of indie devs and small teams shipping real apps right now, often built fast with AI, who need testing more than anyone and can afford it least.
QACrow is the answer I wanted to exist. You write a test plan in plain English the way you'd describe it to a teammate. We review it for quality before you spend a cent — flagging vague steps, missing auth, unclear flows. Then a real browser, driven by an AI agent tuned for QA work, executes it against your live app and reports back with structured bugs, screenshots, and repro steps. You can watch the run happen live.
Pricing is pure pay-as-you-go. No seats, no minimums, no annual contract. You start with $10 in free credit, top up when you want, or setup autopay.
Named after crows because they're the smartest birds alive — they use tools, recognize faces, and remember who wronged them. Felt right for a QA product.
Would love feedback, especially from anyone who's been quoted "$8k/mo, 12-month commit" recently. I see you.

When someone evaluates QA Crow against tools like testRigor/Testim/mabl or newer “agentic” runners, what’s the sharpest differentiation you’re betting on (e.g., live run visibility, bug report structure, execution model, pricing), and where do you intentionally *not* try to compete yet?
@curiouskitty All of the examples you listed plus the others that came up when I was searching for a solution were all geared towards the enterprise, with "book a demo" or "contact us for pricing" business models. For examle, QAWolf plans start at $8,000/mo.
QA Crow is PAYGO, automated top-up, and only charges when you test, versus lock-in contacts with super high prices.
It's just me. All these other guys need to factor in VC premium into their pricing.
@k_piotr that's next up! though you can do this with your own agent and sending the plan via sdk/api to be ran on deploy

Great for small team/solo shippers. But if someone does not have any written tests, how do we set it up? Do we just explain our product....what is the process?

Idea sounds good. Any plans for MCP so you can teach AI to build the tests when implementing a feature?

@prateek_kumar28 simply ask your agent to write a basic test plan on deploy.
Really like the approach with the npm package and pay as you go pricing.
I wonder though why the crow should be better than simply telling Claude Code or Cursor to write some test cases for my project?
Superb idea. what happens when the test description is under specified ?
QA Crow
@pristine we fix it for the user :)
@ryanmerket which platform charge $8k for qa per month? What is different in this platform compared to already in the market?
