TestNG 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.

What the product covers
The full TestNG 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
- Test dependencies
- XML suite configuration
- Native parallel execution
- Data providers
- Grouping
- Flexible reporting
People bring TestNG in for a java integration test suite that needs to skip dependent tests automatically when a prerequisite test fails, a team wanting xml-based suite configuration to manage large, grouped test suites without touching code for each run, a project needing native parallel test execution at the class or method level without adding a separate plugin, a selenium-based ui test suite that uses testng as the underlying runner for grouping and parallelisation. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to TestNG 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.

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 TestNG badges page.
Before you pay for TestNG
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: a single tier at Free. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
TestNG runs on linux, macos, windows, and is published by TestNG open source project of Distributed, no single headquarters. The full record is on the TestNG review, and the rest of the category is under best testing tools.
