Executive SummaryUpdated on Jul 27, 2025

BrowserStack and LambdaTest are competing in the cross-browser testing domain. BrowserStack seems to have the upper hand with its feature richness and ease of deployment, while LambdaTest offers competitive pricing and favorable ROI.

Features:BrowserStack is recognized for its extensive device coverage, real-time testing, and integration capabilities with a wide range of browsers and operating systems. It provides cross-browser compatibility testing with access to numerous devices for manual and automated testing. LambdaTest offers seamless integration with popular development tools, geolocation testing, and supports parallel testing, making it appealing to developers focused on efficient test cycles.

Room for Improvement:BrowserStack could enhance support for more diverse browser versions and improve the user interface for complex configuration scenarios. Additionally, expanding automation documentation might help users maximize functionality. LambdaTest might consider extending the range of supported native devices and simplifying its deployment complexity. Increasing device availability and providing more in-depth usage tutorials could also be beneficial.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service:BrowserStack offers a streamlined deployment process, allowing for rapid setup and intuitive use. Its customer service is well-regarded.

Good in the area of automation and offers a high test coverage to users

I integrated BrowserStack into our company's web and application test workflows because it has plugins that work with browsers and applications, allowing for cross-browser testing. BrowserStack was really helpful for cross-browser testing in areas involving mobiles, web applications, or tablets. The tool can help with the testing across all applications. I have not experienced any time-saving feature from the use of the tool. My company uses the product for real-device testing since it has a bunch of devices in our library. My company has a repository where we do manual testing. BrowserStack improved the quality of our company's applications. Improvements I have seen with the testing part revolve around the fact that it is able to do testing at a fast pace. The quality of the product is better since it can go through all the parts of the applications, meaning it can provide high test coverage. The tool is also good in the area of automation. The test coverage is higher, and the time taken during the testing phase is less due to automation. I have not used the product's integration capabilities since my company doesn't have the option to look at other QA testing tools like Selenium, which can be used for the automation capabilities provided. The product should offer more support for cross-browser testing, device testing, and testing across multiple devices. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

The tool reduces the manual effort needed and helps automate certain tasks for users

I won't be able to comment on what could be improved in the solution since I am not the one who handles LambdaTest. It is our company's IT team that takes care of LambdaTest. Improvements on a platform need to happen on a timely basis. If something is perfect, it doesn't mean that it doesn't need to improvise or improve, like in terms of adding new features. There should be some new features coming up or some performance improvisation over a period of time.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The device farm is one of the positive impacts we have seen from using BrowserStack."

"The most valuable feature is that it provides parallel and cross-browser testing. It enables us to run tests on multiple browsers or devices simultaneously."

"Testing across devices and browsers without maintaining that inventory is invaluable."

"The product's initial setup phase was not very difficult."

"The speed of the solution and its performance are valuable."

"The product guides and resources are extensive and very helpful."

"Maintenance of the solution is easy."

"The integration is very good."

More BrowserStack pros

"LambdaTest offers geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"

"Builds that took days to complete with in-house infrastructure were executed in a couple of hours."

"It is a scalable solution."

"The most valuable features are that it's essentially on-demand, and you only focus on getting the code that needs to be executed without having to worry about the OS, hardware, etc."

"It's user-friendly and offers valuable features for testing, making it a reliable tool."

"The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."

"The solution is very easy to understand and has a user-friendly UI."

"The slow nature of a cloud platform was compensated with parallel testing, and now we are able to finish our testing job faster than it was before COVID."

More LambdaTest pros

Cons

"We are struggling to do local testing."

"Customer support could be better. We tried to implement and explore this product with the vendor or reseller's help, but we haven't had any good response about the product."

"BrowserStack should work on its Internet connectivity although issues only occur occasionally."

"Sometimes BrowserStack is really slow and devices are not loading. it is really annoying and that's why we bought several newer devices because sometimes it's affecting us a lot."

"Connectivity can sometimes mar the testing experience."

"I would like to see clearer visibility."

"While I was testing I was not 100% sure a that was properly mimicking the browsers or not. We had some issues with a browser, and the reason was the browser itself does not provide any support. If the local system does not provide any support, I think this was the problem. There should be better integration with other solutions, such as JIRA."

"BrowserStack is scalable, but cost is significant for those living in Mexico."

More BrowserStack cons

"The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device."

"I would like to see all of the features available in the freemium plan so that I can test them."

"We get logged out of the devices if there is some inactivity."

"I've also had some issues with the speed of certain API calls and the rendering of data. For example, when I'm onboarding data, the process can be slow."

"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."

"Improvements on a platform need to happen on a timely basis...There should be some new features coming up or some performance improvisation over a period of time."

"Performing automation testing from UI is a little slow and could be improved."

"The scalability is good with Amazon, but IBM had some issues."

More LambdaTest cons

"As for pricing, I can't provide a clear evaluation as I'm not directly involved in those discussions."

"Compared to other solutions, BrowserStack is one of the cheapest."

"The price is fine."

"This solution costs less than competing products."

"There are different licenses available that can be customized. You can select the features that you want only to use which can be a cost-benefit."
