How much does Maestro cost?

Maestro publishes 3 tiers, from Free for Local up to On request for Enterprise Cloud. The entry tier costs nothing.

What is the difference between Local and Cloud on Maestro?

Cloud costs $250/month against Free, and adds per device per month, unlimited hosted test runs, hosted android, ios and web devices, rich reporting and pull request integration.

Is the Enterprise Cloud plan on Maestro worth it?

That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is quoted, sso and dedicated support, custom contracts, fully managed test cases and security review. It costs On request against $250/month for Cloud. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.

Which mobile development tools can I use without paying?

6 of the 8 mobile development tools listed alongside Maestro have a free tier: Ionic, Capacitor, NativeScript, Kotlin Multiplatform, .NET MAUI.

Does Maestro charge per user?

The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 3 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.

Are these Maestro prices current?

They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.

What should I compare Maestro against before paying?

The closest mobile development tools in this directory are Ionic, Capacitor, NativeScript, Kotlin Multiplatform. Each has a side-by-side comparison with Maestro covering price, platforms and features.

Maestro pricing

Maestro publishes 3 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.

Tiers: 3
Free tier: Yes

Maestro plans, side by side

Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

Maestro pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
Local	Free	4	Entry tier
Cloud	$250/month	4	+$250/month, 4 more features
Enterprise Cloud	On request	4	Priced on request

What each tier adds

The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

What the product covers

The full Maestro feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.

Other

YAML test flows
Built-in flakiness tolerance
Maestro Studio
Open source CLI
Cloud device runs
CI and pull request integration

People bring Maestro in for a mobile team replacing an appium suite that spends more engineering time on maintenance than on new coverage, running smoke tests on every pull request without buying and maintaining a physical device lab, letting a qa specialist who does not write application code author and own the end-to-end suite, reproducing a reported bug by recording the exact flow in studio and committing it as a regression test. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Maestro are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

How that compares in Mobile Development

Too few mobile development tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Maestro entry price against other Mobile Development tools
Tool	Entry price	Model	Rated	Head to head
Maestro (this page)	Free, then $250/month	Per concurrent cloud device per month	-
Ionic	Free	Open source, no licence fee	-	vs Maestro
Capacitor	Free	Open source, no licence fee	-	vs Maestro
NativeScript	Free	Open source, no licence fee	-	vs Maestro
Kotlin Multiplatform	Free	Open source, no licence fee	-	vs Maestro
Sencha	On request	One-time purchase, per developer	-	vs Maestro
.NET MAUI	Free	Open source, no licence fee	-	vs Maestro

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Maestro badges page.

Before you pay for Maestro

Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.

What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between Free and On request, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.

Maestro runs on ios, android, web, macos, linux, windows, and is published by Maestro of San Francisco, California, United States. The full record is on the Maestro review, and the rest of the category is under best mobile development tools.
