What you would be giving up
Tricentis Tosca is most often brought in for regression testing an sap estate through an s/4hana migration where thousands of transactions must be verified, a regulated organisation that needs auditable evidence of what was tested before each release, testing a mixed estate of browser, windows desktop and mainframe applications from one suite, a test centre of excellence with dozens of testers where per screen maintenance beats per test maintenance. Anything replacing it has to cover the ones you actually depend on, and a cheaper tool that misses one of them is not cheaper.
Two things this page cannot settle. It compares on price, model, tier count and rating, because those are the fields the category listing carries, feature-level differences need both full records, which is what the head-to-head pages load. And the ratings are third-party aggregates imported with each entry rather than reviews written here, so a 0.2 difference between two tools is noise rather than a finding.
If Tricentis Tosca is broadly right and the question is cost, the Tricentis Tosca pricing breakdown covers every tier and what each one adds. If you want the whole field rather than a shortlist, the Testing category lists everything the directory holds, and best testing tools ranks them.
Tricentis Tosca runs on windows, web. Platform coverage is not carried on the category listing for the alternatives, so it is one more thing to check on each head-to-head page rather than here.
