Percy pricing

Percy publishes 2 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.

As of 1 September 2026, Percy pricing is free across 2 published tiers. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

Entry price: Free
Model: Freemium, paid tiers by screenshot volume
Tiers: 2
Free tier: Yes

Percy 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.

Percy pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
Free	Free	3	Entry tier
Percy	On request	3	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.

Free

The entry tier. It covers 5,000 screenshots a month, unlimited users and projects, 30-day build history.

No paid tier on record

What the product covers

The full Percy 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.

People bring Percy in for a team already on browserstack for device testing that wants to add visual regression without a separate vendor relationship, a low-traffic project that can run indefinitely on the 5,000-screenshot free tier without paying anything, a team wanting a lower cost per screenshot than applitools and willing to tolerate more manual false-positive triage, a cypress or playwright test suite adding visual checks without changing its existing test runner. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Percy are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

How that compares in Testing

Too few testing 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.

Percy entry price against other Testing tools
Tool	Entry price	Model	Rated	Head to head
Percy (this page)	Free	Freemium, paid tiers by screenshot volume	-
Jest	Free	Open source, no licence fee	-	vs Percy
Cucumber	Free	Open source, no licence fee	-	vs Percy
Detox	Free	Open source, no licence fee	-	vs Percy
Appium	Free	Open source, no licence fee	-	vs Percy
PractiTest	On request	Per user per month, yearly minimum on Corporate tier	-	vs Percy
Katalon	On request	Per seat per month, plus separate per-session cloud execution charges	-	vs Percy

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 Percy badges page.

Before you pay for Percy

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: 2 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.

Percy runs on web, and is published by BrowserStack of Mumbai, India and Dublin, Ireland. The full record is on the Percy review, and the rest of the category is under best testing tools.
