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.

Rodrigo Candido Costa

Software Quality and Automation Specialist at PRIME CONTROL

The solution saves us money because the cost of each license is 10 times lower than what we would spend to maintain infrastructure here

Sometimes, when the automated tests sync up or we have to debug remotely, we cannot interact directly with the device. We can interact with the code in the debugging tool, but we cannot directly click on the element on the screen or send other kinds of inputs to the device. This is possible with other tools. Also, it would be nice if there were some kind of API to get a list of available devices. Currently, we have to look at the web interface to see the available devices, but the pipelines can't do it on their own there. We always need to do this manually, so it would be better if this feature was automated.

Senior engineer at Nagarro

End-to-end regression automation has accelerated delivery and now secures complex test data

I think Tosca can be improved, particularly in AI capabilities because right now Tosca does not have any strong API capabilities. It has some AI features in the newer version, but many organizations have not adopted these due to version-specific problems, as some are still using older versions. From an AI point of view, they can enhance reliability since the world is moving towards AI, and every tool must be integrated. While Tosca has made attempts, I have not used them and they are not widely adopted, so they are stuck in the testing phase in my organization. I would also mention that while I am currently using Tosca Mobile, the loading part and connectivity issues need improvement. They should better integrate AI features that are already present but not widely used across many organizations. Reliability on the AI aspect needs enhancement for practical application. From the perspective of governance and security, I believe Tosca can develop its own LLM or leverage third-party LLMs while maintaining security and risk management regarding client data. Many companies prefer using Tosca due to data security, which is crucial. An in-house LLM could significantly enhance its debugging power and provide helpful solutions upon test case failure.

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."

"We're working in Agile and we need results ASAP. The fact that the lab provides same-day access to new devices is extremely important to us."

"There are a whole bunch of things that I like about the solution, but I really love the interaction it has with mobile devices, the testing capabilities, as well as reporting capabilities that we get from the application. The reports are very detailed."

"Perfecto's device lab has helped us to scale our testing and it has made testing easier for us."

"Perfecto is a game-changer for us, we save at least $10,000 monthly."

"The Perfecto device lab has allowed us to run tests on multiple devices at the same time and across multiple platforms as well, increasing the efficiency of our testing and saving money, time, and effort while enabling comprehensive testing and high app quality that we otherwise wouldn't be able to achieve."

"We are able to offer a quality product that has been tested fully, which improves our customer satisfaction. That is a good thing. It has also reduced our IT infrastructure cost. We don't have to spend a lot on setting up infrastructure, which becomes redundant or obsolete very soon. It helps in offsetting that cost."

"Overall, it's a great solution."

More Perfecto pros

"I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have enterprise-level customers."

"We decided to go with Testsuite because you can integrate manual test cases and you can see the reports in a nice way and see how the test case is going in the requirement section."

"As a codeless automation tool, the product offers a user-friendly experience without requiring extensive coding knowledge. Users can easily handle various applications, including web applications, SAP applications, Windows applications, and even Salesforce applications, without manual coding."

"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."

"The most valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca is the Tosca Commander. Functionality is another thing I find most valuable in the solution."

"It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority."

"One notable feature is its ability to handle negative XPath healing processes. If one XPath fails, Tosca can utilize backup XPaths to ensure test cases do not fail due to locator issues, thereby focusing on identifying application-side issues, which is the ultimate goal."

"I liked the "no required scripting" part as most of the people in my team are not skilled QAs and half of the team reside offshore, thus it suited to most of our requirements."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

"It would be ideal if there was a complete integration with other test management tools and other applications like HPLM, Micro Focus, or Microsoft Azure."

"Its performance should be improved. Anything to speed up the user interface would be a great help. We've had a lot of pain with their migration from a product UI that was based on Adobe Flash to the new product that is based on HTML5. Migrations like that seemed to be very painful and not a real smooth process. We're still sort of recovering from that migration from old technology to new, and we haven't got all the functionality ported over that we used to have on the old UI."

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

"If we could run an accessibility test in Perfecto against builds, it would help us a lot. Currently, that's a very manual process for us. We haven't found a tool that can do accessibility scans for iOS and doesn't depend on engineering effort. Having a feature related to that would be really awesome for us."

"We have had some issues with performance, which is something that should be improved."

"There was a discussion about having the capability to export the test results to a certain tool that we use in our project. If that were added it would be great not having to manually take screenshots, put them in a document, and share them on the different test management tools."

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

"When using devices on the cloud, it lags quite a bit at times."

More Perfecto cons

"I have found that some of the functions could be missed in the solution for new users. They are not obviously present."

"I would say the reporting part of the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others."

"The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."

"Very difficult to get information about licensing costs."

"It can be quite expensive."

"We faced some hardships in implementing the solution because of integration."

"The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution compared to others, by 30% to 40%."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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

"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."

"It is an expensive tool compared to other test automation tools. It has a lot of advantages over other tools."

"A competitor of Tricentis Tosca: Katalon Studio, is very similar and offers lower pricing, though Tricentis Tosca offers more features and benefits."

"I give the cost of Tricentis Tosca a six out of seven."

"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is on the higher side."

"I am satisfied with the cost."

"If you are purchasing less than five licenses, then the pricing is high. On a scale from one to ten, with one being low and ten being high pricing, I would rate this solution at eight."
