Who each one is for

BugBug

BugBug is a no-code end-to-end testing tool for SaaS teams. You record tests with a Chrome extension, edit them in a visual editor, and run them in the cloud or on your own computer.

DontBreak

DontBreak is for product people, founders and agencies who own a checkout, signup or form and want to know when it breaks. You build each step in a live browser by choosing an action and pointing at the element, and DontBreak runs the flow on a schedule or after each deploy.

Which one to choose

Choose BugBug if…

  • You want to start on a free plan, or you need lots of runs for a flat price: paid plans include unlimited cloud runs.
  • Chrome is the only browser you need, and running one check at a time is fine for your suite.
  • You want test files you can read and keep in version control (YAML export), or AI agents writing tests through MCP.

Choose DontBreak if…

  • Your customers use Firefox as well as Chrome.
  • You want many checks running at once without paying per slot: 20, 50 or 100 at a time are included.
  • You want CI from the entry plan, and steps that find elements by how they look.

Questions

Is BugBug free?
BugBug has a free plan with up to 15 tests that run on your own computer; cloud runs, schedules and alerts need a paid plan. DontBreak has no free plan, but a 14-day trial with up to 500 runs and no card.
Does BugBug support Firefox?
No. BugBug's FAQ says it doesn't support Firefox or Safari. DontBreak runs Chrome and Firefox, but not Safari.
Unlimited runs or a run allowance: which do I need?
Count your flows and how often you want them checked. Eight flows every hour on one browser is about 5,760 runs a month, which fits DontBreak's Solo plan. BugBug includes unlimited runs but runs them one at a time unless you buy more slots.
