The same test, both ways
Autosana stores code-managed flows as repo YAML, so this checkout appears on both sides. Steps map almost one to one, but hooks, env syntax, and network-log checks do not.

Where they differ
Both agents read a plain-English flow, run it, and return a video. They differ on how you get in, the hardware, the verdict, and whether code stays in the test.
How you get in
Autosana lists no price and routes new accounts through a demo. TesterArmy has a free tier, a public price list, and checkout inside the product.
Escape hatches into code
Autosana flows allow run_appium_script, run_playwright_command, or Run JS when English runs out. TesterArmy steps stay act, assert, login, and screenshot, with no script layer.
What a verdict means
Autosana's Runs API reports passed, failed, error, or skipped. TesterArmy reports passed, failed, or blocked, and blocked explains which environment or setup problem stopped it.
How coding agents connect
Autosana's MCP server takes an x-api-key header and its CLI installs with pip. TesterArmy's MCP server uses OAuth and its CLI is an npm package.
Side by side
Autosana sits closest to TesterArmy of any tool on this hub, and it wins on hardware with physical iPhones, Pixels, and Galaxy devices. The table covers the rest.
