mabl

mabl is an agentic test automation platform that uses AI agents to build, run and maintain tests for web, mobile and API applications for software teams that release frequently. It began as a low-code testing tool and now leans on specialized agents for creating tests, healing them when the app changes and analyzing failures. Its breadth is the selling point: functional, API, performance and accessibility tests sit in one product with one set of reports.

What is mabl used for?

QA and engineering teams use mabl to keep regression coverage in step with fast release cycles, especially as AI coding tools increase how much code ships. It organizes work into build, validate, investigate and release stages.

• Creating end-to-end browser tests with AI agents and low-code steps
• Auto-healing tests when buttons, labels or layouts change
• Testing iOS and Android apps with parallel cloud runs (as an add-on)
• Running API tests and importing Postman collections
• Adding performance, accessibility and cross-browser checks to the same suite
• Validating dynamic outputs from AI features inside your product

Who mabl is best for

mabl fits mid-size and enterprise teams that want one managed platform instead of stitching together Playwright, a device cloud, an API tester and an accessibility scanner. It also suits organizations with a mix of developers and QA analysts, since the low-code editor lowers the barrier. Small teams or solo developers looking for a self-serve price will find the quote-based model a hurdle.

mabl pricing

As of October 2026, mabl does not publish plan prices. Its pricing page offers a 14-day free trial with access to all features and a request-a-quote form, and says there are no setup fees. Cloud test runs start at 500 credits a month, shared across browser, mobile, API, performance and accessibility testing, while local runs are free. Every customer gets end-to-end UI and API testing, unlimited local and CI runs, core AI features, performance and accessibility testing, and integrations. The web plan includes unlimited apps, workspaces, concurrency and participant licenses, plus the mabl CLI. Mobile app testing and a technical account manager are add-ons.

Limitations to keep in mind

• You need a sales conversation to learn the cost
• Credits govern cloud runs, so large suites need planning
• Mobile testing costs extra on top of the base plan
• Low-code tests live in mabl rather than as code in your repository, which some developer teams dislike

mabl vs alternatives

CoTester is the closest comparison as another AI testing agent aimed at enterprise QA, and it is worth evaluating if you already use TestGrid. Keploy is the better choice for developer-centric API and integration tests generated from real traffic, and it is open source. Qodo focuses on unit tests and pull request review, so it covers a different layer of testing. mabl wins when you want functional, API, performance and accessibility testing in one managed platform with agents that keep tests up to date.

Tips for getting started with mabl

Use the 14-day trial on a staging environment and automate one critical journey end to end, including an API check. Run tests locally and in CI first, since those runs do not use cloud credits. Turn on accessibility checks early, as they are included and often surface quick wins. Connect the MCP server if your developers use Claude Code or Cursor, so they can trigger and read tests from their editor.
