The same test, both ways
Every target line in the Momentic YAML can drift, and auto-heal repairs it. The TesterArmy version carries no targets, so the agent reads a renamed button on the next run.

Where they differ
Momentic's AI generates and heals the locators in a YAML suite you own. TesterArmy's agent does the testing itself, reading the screen each run, with no suite behind it.
Tests as YAML in git
Momentic tests are *.test.yaml files with click and assert steps, optional targets, modules, and auto-heal for drifted locators. TesterArmy stores each test as plain sentences.
Where mobile tests live
Momentic mobile tests need the separate momentic-mobile CLI and a local editor, outside the web dashboard. TesterArmy runs web, iOS, and Android from one dashboard.
Which steps the agent runs
Momentic docs prefer deterministic steps on critical paths and keep the agentic step for exploration. TesterArmy's agent runs every step, recording reasoning, screenshots, and video.
Blocked as a verdict
Momentic reports pass or fail per test. TesterArmy adds blocked for staging outages and expired logins, so the failure list holds only product bugs.
Side by side
Momentic offers a free tier, first-class GitLab support, and SOC 2 Type II on its enterprise plan, and its homepage names Notion, Webflow, and Quora.

Questions
Paste one Momentic flow and run it free
Momentic showed a test can start as plain English. TesterArmy keeps it that way, and an agent reads the flow like a user and returns video of what broke.
