Enterprise-grade visual testing without the quote-only pricing and enterprise sales cycle.

It's powerful — and priced accordingly: pricing is quote-only and Applitools is widely regarded as the most expensive option in the category.

Frequently asked questions
Is PixellPeep cheaper than Applitools?
Yes. Applitools uses quote-only pricing and is generally the most expensive visual testing tool. PixellPeep publishes transparent plans with a free tier and self-serve signup, making it far more accessible for SMB and mid-market teams.
Does PixellPeep replace Applitools for most teams?
For teams that don't need enterprise design-system tooling or native-mobile coverage at scale, yes. PixellPeep covers the core visual regression workflow — six comparison algorithms, CI gating, and noise reduction — without an enterprise contract.
What does Applitools have that PixellPeep doesn't?
Applitools offers a Figma plugin, very broad multi-platform coverage, and enterprise support. If those are hard requirements, Applitools may fit better; otherwise PixellPeep covers the day-to-day visual testing workflow at a fraction of the cost.
