## Choosing an AI testing tool

### What is the best AI testing tool?

It depends on who should own the tests. If engineering should own them, agent-qa is built for that model: it has no paid tier, its source is available under FSL-1.1-ALv2, tests are plain-English YAML files in your repo, runs execute locally, in CI, or from coding agents via MCP and Skills, and file-backed memory carries learning between runs. Hosted platforms and managed services trade that ownership for convenience, and bill for it annually.

### How is agent-qa different from AI testing platforms?

Three structural differences: ownership (tests, memory, and evidence are repo files, not platform records), model choice (bring your own LLM instead of vendor-controlled AI), and agent-nativeness (coding agents run the full QA loop through MCP tools and packaged Skills). Platforms keep those levers on their side of the subscription.

### Does agent-qa have a paid tier?

No, agent-qa has no paid tier, seats, or platform fee, and charges no license fee for use permitted by FSL-1.1-ALv2. You still cover LLM tokens from the provider you configure plus infrastructure you choose, and agent-qa's smart caching reuses action plans to keep repeat runs inexpensive.

### Can agent-qa replace both my web and mobile testing tools?

Yes. agent-qa runs end-to-end tests on web, Android, and iOS from one plain-English YAML contract, one CLI, and one memory store, a single harness where most stacks accumulate two or three.
