Industry leaders automate tests with BugBug

Why should you choose BugBug over Leapwork?

REASON #1

Lower cost and predictable pricing

Leapwork is enterprise-priced with high budget requirements. BugBug offers a free plan, flat-rate pricing, and unlimited users/runs—far more cost-effective for startups and small teams.

REASON #2

Lightweight and no setup required

Leapwork requires installation, licensing, and setup. BugBug runs in your browser with zero installation—start testing instantly without IT or onboarding delays.

REASON #3

Simpler learning curve for non-technical teams

Leapwork's visual builder has a steep learning curve due to enterprise complexity. BugBug's intuitive UI lets anyone—QA or PMs —create tests without technical skills.

See what our customers are saying

BugBug is super intuitive and lowers the barrier of becoming an end-to-end tester. It reduces development time and significantly lowers the cost of software testing.

— Wojciech, CEO at Davinci-Studio.com

In two days we managed to automate test cases that took us weeks to write up and execute using other software. It is easy to use, yet can still perform advanced testing should the tester want to.

— Panayiotis, Software Tester, ATM Marketing

Very good and fast support from the BugBug team. Have clear documentation which really helps you to get started. Features like scheduling test cases and getting results are perfect for our needs.

— Imalka, QA Engineer at Calcey.com
