The short version
- Each has a real cost: Cypress limited to web applications; mobile and desktop app testing not supported; Humanloop the free plan caps at 2 members, 50 eval runs, and 10,000 logs per month; every tier above that requires contacting sales, with no self-serve paid plan published, as of August 2026.
