[03] First clear win

Twice the starting Runs.

QA.army gives every new Workspace 10 initial free Runs. TesterArmy documents 5 Runs per month on its first team. The renewal periods differ, so this comparison is specifically about how many Runs a new team can use to prove the workflow at the start.

Decision point	QA.army	TesterArmy
Free access	10 initial test runsNo credit card required to start.	5 runs each monthThe documented Free plan resets monthly and is limited to the first team.
Shared operating model	One global WorkspaceWorkspace is the security, billing, collaboration, and context boundary across Projects, Tests, Runs, and evidence.	Team subscriptionProjects share the team's plan, run allowance, members, and concurrency limit.
Test authoring	Plain-language saved TestsOrdered steps remain inspectable and are separate from an explicit Run.	Plain-language stepsTests can be created from the dashboard, CLI, API, or MCP interface.
Evidence and outcomes	PASSED, FAILED, or ERRORQA.army separates a product failure from an execution result that cannot be trusted.	Passed, failed, or blockedTesterArmy documents a verdict with attached run video.
Platform availability	Direct Web path availableNative Mobile and Desktop remain product direction and are not generally available yet.	Web and Mobile plansTesterArmy documents iOS simulators and Android emulators; its plans include Web and Mobile support.
Published paid pricing	Preview: $39 / monthHobby includes 200 shared Workspace credits. Startup is previewed at $149 for 1,000 credits.Plan entitlement remains separate from current feature availability.	$99 / monthHobby includes 250 runs. Startup is $299 for 1,000 runs and 10 concurrent runs.
Best fit	Choose QA.armyIf you want 10 runs to prove the workflow, explicit result semantics, and a single Workspace spanning human and coding-agent QA context.	Choose TesterArmyIf you need its documented Mobile execution today, prefer monthly recurring free runs, or want its currently published integrations.

[04] QA.army difference

One global Workspace for QA.

A coding agent, engineer, or QA lead should not reconstruct product context from isolated runs. QA.army keeps the durable hierarchy—Workspace, Project, Test Group, Test, and Run—inside one shared boundary.

“Global Workspace” is a product-design metaphor informed by Anthropic's 2026 Jacobian-lens research, which describes a compact J-space that broadcasts representations across a model. QA.army does not claim to implement the Jacobian lens; it applies the shared-workspace idea to operational QA context.
