Autify is another login. agent-qa is QA memory living inside your repo.
Autify focuses on no-code AI test automation in its own platform. agent-qa gives engineering teams source-controlled YAML, local and CI runs, hooks, memory, and model choice, no extra surface to maintain.
Try agent-qa, the source-available workflow that keeps QA memory out of another login.
agent-qa vs Autify
| Capability | agent-qa | Autify | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Source access | Autify is not positioned as a repo-owned framework with published source, so behaviour you disagree with is a support ticket. With agent-qa it is a pull request. | ||
| Repo-owned YAML | Autify keeps the test intent inside its own product. agent-qa keeps intent, config, hooks, memory and suites beside the code they cover, where your engineering process already works. | ||
| Coding-agent native | A coding agent cannot click through a hosted editor. agent-qa ships MCP tools, packaged Skills and a CLI, so the agent that changed the code writes the test, runs it and reads the failure without leaving the loop. | ||
| Bring your own LLM | Whoever picks the model sets your quality ceiling and your bill. agent-qa lets you point at any provider, any compatible endpoint, or a model on your own hardware, and change it in one line. | ||
| Local and CI execution | One command on a laptop, in CI, and from an agent. No run depends on somebody else's control plane being up, and nothing queues behind another tenant. | ||
| Web and mobile QA | Web, Android and iOS from the same natural-language flow and the same evidence model. The surface is a target named in a file, not a different product tier. | ||
| Memory, cache, hooks | Execution memory, a validated action cache and sandboxed hooks compound. A suite that has been running a month is faster, cheaper and better informed about your app than the day it was written. | ||
| No platform lock-in | Every durable asset stays in your repository. Cancel agent-qa tomorrow and the tests, the memory and the evidence are still there and still readable. |
Why teams switch from Autify
Your tests stop being hostages
Every test you write in Autify makes leaving Autify more expensive. That is not an accident, it is the business model. Every test you write with agent-qa is a YAML file in your repository: reviewed in a pull request, portable to any runner, and still yours the day you cancel.
You pick the model, not the vendor
Autify decides which AI runs your tests, when it changes, and what it costs you. agent-qa is bring-your-own-model: swap providers in one line, put a cheap model on smoke tests and a strong one on the flow that matters, or run against the internal endpoint your security team already signed off.
No-code platforms cap out at scenarios
Platform QA is priced and shaped around scenario counts and plan tiers. Repo QA has no such ceiling: agent-qa tests are files, add as many as your product needs, organize them into suites, and let hooks and memory keep them honest.
Autify moves QA into another product. agent-qa moves it into the product you already maintain, your codebase, and lets it learn there.
Frequently asked questions
Is agent-qa a good Autify alternative?
Yes, and the reason is structural rather than a feature count. Autify is a no-code AI test automation platform where scenarios are created and run inside the vendor's product, which means the asset you are building lives on their side of the line. agent-qa is a source-available QA agent with no paid tier, governed by FSL-1.1-ALv2: tests are plain-English YAML in your repository, runs execute on your laptop, in your CI, or from your coding agent, and every run writes back into memory committed beside the tests. The suite gets better at your app whether or not you renew anything.
How much does agent-qa cost compared to Autify?
Autify is priced on plan tiers shaped around scenarios and platform usage, so the bill tracks how much you test. agent-qa has no paid tier, no seats and no platform fee; FSL-1.1-ALv2 governs permitted use. You pay for the model tokens and infrastructure you already control, on the provider you choose, and the validated action cache takes roughly 60% of the tokens off a matched rerun. Adding coverage does not add a line item.
How do I migrate from Autify to agent-qa?
You are re-describing intent, not porting code, which is why this is far smaller than a normal test migration. Autify scenarios are recorded user journeys; write each journey's intent as an agent-qa YAML test and you gain code review, memory, and LLM choice in the same move. Run npx agent-qa init, write each critical flow as a plain-English YAML test, and let the runtime work out the selectors and the recovery. Most teams move a smoke suite in an afternoon, and there is nothing to un-pick later because the output is files in your own repository.
Does agent-qa cover web and mobile like Autify?
Yes, and from the same file. agent-qa runs end-to-end tests on web, Android and iOS with one natural-language format, one memory store and one evidence model, so a flow written once survives being pointed at another surface. Autify offers a mobile product line; agent-qa handles web and mobile in one harness with one authoring format and one memory store.
Do I need to code to use agent-qa, unlike Autify's no-code approach?
You write plain English in a YAML file, closer to a checklist than to code. If your team can write an Autify scenario description, it can write an agent-qa test; the difference is the file lands in git where reviews, agents, and history already work.
