Executive SummaryUpdated on Feb 22, 2026

Tricentis Tosca and Perfecto both compete in the automation testing solutions category. Based on the features and pricing, Perfecto seems to have an upper hand due to its cost-effectiveness and strong mobile testing and reporting capabilities.

Features: Tricentis Tosca is known for its model-based automation and scriptless operations, beneficial for non-technical users. It offers efficient data management, risk-based testing, and broad technology support. Perfecto is strong in mobile testing, cross-platform capabilities, and integrates well with tools like Appium and Selenium. Its detailed reporting and analytics are highly advantageous for testing management.

Room for Improvement: Tricentis Tosca users find it complex in test case design with object recognition issues in some applications. It lacks seamless integration with enterprise tools and needs better mobile testing capabilities. Perfecto's user interface and performance speed, especially in cloud interactions, need improvement. Users report lag in test execution and a demand for enhanced analytics and machine learning features.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Tricentis Tosca is versatile in deployment, suitable for on-premises and hybrid cloud setups, but can be challenging to manage at scale. Customer service has mixed reviews with some delay reports. Perfecto, primarily cloud-based, offers easier deployment and scaling but may challenge on-premises setups. It generally enjoys high customer service ratings with quick and effective support.

Pricing and ROI: Tricentis Tosca is considered expensive, particularly for small enterprises, due to complex licensing and additional feature costs. Despite this, many acknowledge its capabilities and fast ROI in large-scale environments. Perfecto is more cost-effective, being 30-40% cheaper than competitors, offering competitive pricing with positive ROI, especially in extensive device testing scenarios. Both products achieve significant savings by reducing manual testing and increasing efficiency.

Saves us $2.6 million per year, provides more efficient testing, and helps us strengthen relationships with vendors

The automation piece is the most valuable feature. Every time we had a new version of either OS or an application, we found that being able to automate the testing across different devices is very valuable. Perfecto is great at executing cross-platform testing. From a carrier perspective, it's all mobile, but we also have web applications. We used to be able to test on Symbian, Windows OS, Android, and iOS. Today, we can go on a big screen and test on Chrome, Firefox, Explorer, and other browsers. My team leverages Perfecto's reporting and analytics. When we start stress testing an application, we can look at all the reporting that comes from that, and we can tell at what part of the day the app is performing better. Our analytics are very important to us. Presentations are important, so it's good to have reports with graphs that show the time of day or how the app was performing for months at a time. We use those reports to screen capture, go with the data, and to show to upper management. We can do a comparison of one version performance to another version of the application or device performance. We utilize Perfecto's cloud-based lab to test across devices, browsers, and OSs. We are a carrier, so we have our devices with different OS versions of devices. Right now, it's mostly just Apple and Androids. Back in the day, they had many different versions of the OS, but the only other thing on top of that is web-based browsers. We don't test Linux, which is an operating system of Windows. We don't use Perfecto's cloud. We use our own devices because we test on only our organization's devices. Unless we do some kind of competitive analysis, it's not really a test; it's just a comparison to see how other solutions compare to ours. The range of open-source technologies that Perfecto supports is great. I have a team of contractors that report to me and do all the testing for our organization, and that team turns over every couple of years. We mostly utilize the in-house automation that is available for anyone who isn't a great programmer. They have support for all these other drivers, and they have something for non-programmers who want to automate their work, which is amazing.

Automation test development becomes accessible and effective for functional testers

Tricentis Tosca is a codeless tool, making it easy for everyone to understand the transition of how to develop scenarios or test cases. In Tricentis Tosca, analyzing failures is straightforward because every time it fails somewhere, I get the screenshot, which helps me analyze how and why it failed. It has all the modules, including some pre-built ones that can be reused efficiently. Compared to other code tools such as Selenium, where I used to develop one script in one day, with Tricentis Tosca I can easily develop one script in four hours or three hours, saving four to five hours in a day.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the good things about Perfecto is the scalability that it provides, as we are able to quickly scale up the devices and choose Android devices, web-based applications, or whatever we need, and we can scale up quickly and easily."

"The automated test reporting functionality is the most valuable feature. We use the CI Dashboard. It's very important as it is the main reporting tool for our automated tests."

"The CI dashboard tool is very good, as is the Live Stream monitoring. Whenever I want to monitor execution, I can open multiple tabs in Perfecto and it is easy for me to refer to the CI dashboard and the Live Stream."

"Being able to run automated tests and see the success and failure rate of those runs every day has saved us a lot of time and helped us identify issues much sooner, which has improved the quality of our software."

"Perfecto has affected our software quality in a good way; it has allowed us to catch our defects earlier, thus improving the quality of our applications."

"When the scripts are stable, Perfecto is awesome."

"The automation piece is the most valuable feature. Every time we had a new version of either OS or an application, we found that being able to automate the testing across different devices is very valuable."

"The number one feature, which if we didn't have out-of-the-box would be missed, is the fact that we have video execution. That gives us the ability to view errors or defects in the progression, from beginning to the end of the video."

More Perfecto pros

"It allows manual testers to pick up automation, because it is a scriptless tool."

"Overall, everything is reusable simply via drag and drop, and you will always have a single point of maintenance (e.g. in a future release of your SUT a button was added, you just need adapt the module. Linked test cases and execution lists are updated automatically)."

"What I find valuable is that Tricentis is always refining the test methodology."

"It's integrated with different technologies, desktop applications, package solutions like SAP, and mobile applications."

"Overall, I rate Tricentis Tosca as a ten out of ten."

"The most valuable feature is being able to create a test case by recording some scenarios and then leasing that task case to other scenarios."

"It offers many features, such as risk-based testing and scenario creation using Kafka."

"The solution is script-less, so you don't need IT knowledge to use the solution in an operational way. This is the most valuable feature. It's also only one of two or three tools that can do good automation on SAP, and in my opinion, it's the best of those."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

"It does well for mobile testing, but when it comes to the web aspect, it is lagging a little bit in terms of execution."

"There could be some improvements done on the interface. At times, there has been a bit of a struggle when finding things on the interface."

"The flakiness, or the accuracy, of the test execution can be improved. Also, the responsiveness of their cloud lab could be improved as well."

"The monitoring features, in particular network traffic monitoring, could be improved."

"We don't use Perforce's BlazeMeter with Perfecto. From my perspective, it's not really relevant."

"The monitoring features, in particular network traffic monitoring, could be improved."

"I would like to see the inclusion of machine learning features. If we can have that, it will be a better tool."

More Perfecto cons

"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation."

"I personally feel like the pricing is a little bit on the high end."

"At the time I was using the product, the reporting function was lacking in usability and detail."

"Run time test execution status: They have improved on this a bit by introducing a progress bar. However, it can be further improved."

"There have been some setbacks because of upgrades."

"Licenses are expensive, but they are worth using."

"ScratchBook execution needs to be improved as Tosca crashes multiple times."

"Tosca's reporting features could be better. Tricentis had a reporting tool called Analytics, but it didn't function properly after they reworked it."

More Tricentis Tosca cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Perfecto's price is excellent compared to other products with similar features. It was the lowest of the three we evaluated. We also established a partnership with Perfecto, so they provide discounts when we sell Perfecto projects and licenses to our customers."

"Perfecto is about 30-40% cheaper than Device Anywhere. That was a big reason why we switched. Perfecto also solves some of the issues that we had with Device Anywhere. We have grown by 100% since we started to use Perfecto, and now we have devices roaming. When we look at the competition, we would still stick with Perfecto."

"Pricing-wise, it is fine. It is not as expensive as what we used to have in the past from HP, IBM, and others. It is decently priced."

"I am not sure about its pricing, but from our perspective, licensing has been easy. Anytime I have new users or requests for users that want to get added, it's a very simple process. I just give the architectural owner of the product the name and email address, and they're able to easily add a new user. We don't have any issues in regards to getting licenses, but I don't have any insights into pricing."

"It's definitely on the higher end of prices for this type of service."

"Although Perfecto is a good product for us to use, it is a bit expensive. It takes management a bit of work to find the appropriate funding for us to keep Perfecto. I imagine there could be some way to make it more accessible."

"Pricing is an area where Perfecto can do a little better. When we obtain additional licenses, we enter into negotiations with them."

"Perfecto has definitely saved us on the costs and efforts of having to maintain our own virtual test environment. We lost about 20 devices in the past to maintenance and audit. That was a massive loss for us, as a company, because we were giving devices to someone, but don't know whether we would get it back or not. Having those virtual labs, we don't need to worry about these kinds of things. We are easily saving $5,000 to $10,000 a month on device costing."

More Perfecto pricing and cost advice

"Expensive, but for long-term projects, it is paying back."

"We hired a consultant to figure out all the tools in our company and how they fit in our company before we purchased the solution."

"Tricentis Tosca is not expensive at all."

"Tosca is expensive. I don't see small and medium customers going for it. It's always large enterprises that have a big pocket. It is very expensive as compared to the other tools that we have in the market. They should reduce the price by half, and if they do that, they would do better business. From the competition perspective, other solutions are at a pretty similar level. UiPath is also very expensive. One thing that I always wanted was a short-term consumption license. With Tricentis, the biggest challenge is that you have to go for a minimum of one year license, and they also try to sell you a three-year license. It would be good if people can get a three-month or four-month consumption license."

"The pricing is high, but altogether it offers you the ability to automate all sorts of applications: desktop, web, mobile, etc."

"The pricing of the solution comes as part of our Tosca bundle."

"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive solution and there is an annual license required. The whole licensing process is confusing and it could be made easier."

"Tricentis Tosca should improve its pricing. It is expensive."
