Short answer: TestMu AI, the new name for LambdaTest since January 2026, charges per parallel session for testing and per agent for its AI agent. Live testing starts at $15 a month, web automation at $79, and mobile app automation at $139 on emulators or $199 on real devices, all per parallel session and billed annually. There is a free plan for evaluation. Prices below were checked on TestMu AI's pricing page on 13 October 2026.
This guide covers every plan that matters for web and mobile testing, what a typical team actually pays, and how the prices compare with BrowserStack and Sauce Labs.
LambdaTest became TestMu AI on 12 January 2026. The platform, accounts and pricing structure carried over; only the name changed.
Live testing is manual, interactive testing in the browser or on a device.
| Plan | Annual (per month) | Monthly | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | Limited 2-minute sessions, 200+ desktop browsers, 2 emulator or simulator app sessions a month |
| Virtual Live | $15 | $19 | Unlimited live testing on 3,000+ browsers, emulators and simulators |
| ChromeOS Live | $29 | $39 | ChromeOS devices with limited browser coverage |
| Real Device Plus Live | $39 | $49 | Everything in Virtual Live plus 10,000+ real Android and iOS devices |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | SSO, IP allowlisting, dedicated support |

Automation is where most mobile teams spend. Note that each plan covers a different environment rather than adding to the one below it.
| Plan | Annual (per month) | Monthly | Covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | 100 lifetime minutes on 2 parallel sessions |
| Desktop (Linux only) | $29 | $39 | Chrome, Firefox and Edge on Linux |
| Desktop (all OS) | $79 | $99 | 3,000+ desktop browsers on Windows, macOS and Linux |
| Virtual Automation Cloud | $139 | $159 | Desktop web plus emulators and simulators; Appium, Espresso, XCUITest and Detox |
| Real Device Plus Automation | $199 | $249 | Real Android and iOS devices only; Appium, Espresso and XCUITest |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | All of the above |
Per parallel session. Every paid automation plan includes 2,000 SmartUI screenshots and 300 HyperExecute minutes.
If you test native mobile apps on real devices, the line that matters is Real Device Plus Automation at $199 a month per parallel session. If you also need emulators or desktop browsers, you need a second plan or Enterprise.
KaneAI is TestMu AI's AI agent for writing and maintaining tests in natural language. It is billed separately from device access, per agent, with a monthly credit allowance.
| Plan | Annual (per month) | Monthly | Credits per month | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $17 | $19 | 2,000 | Local authoring through the free Kane CLI |
| Pro | $89 | $99 | 12,000 | Cloud authoring for web, 100 HyperExecute minutes |
| Max | $179 | $199 | 25,000 | Cloud authoring for web and mobile, 300 HyperExecute minutes |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Unlimited | SSO, sub-organisations, dedicated support |
Per agent. Each plan includes one Test Manager seat per agent. There is no free KaneAI plan.
Mobile authoring needs the Max plan. TestMu AI estimates a 40-step test costs about 80 credits to create, so Max covers roughly 300 new tests a month per agent before maintenance.
| Product | Price (annual, per month) | Free tier |
|---|---|---|
| HyperExecute (test orchestration) | $103 per parallel session on Linux, $159 on Windows, macOS and Linux | 300 minutes, 2 concurrent sessions |
| Test Manager | $49 per user | Yes, unlimited projects |
| SmartUI (visual testing) | Free up to 2,000 screenshots, then priced by volume | 2,000 screenshots |
| Performance testing (JMeter) | $79 per licence (Basic), $349 (Pro) | 100 virtual user hours a month |
Three common setups, at annual prices:
| Setup | Monthly cost | Yearly cost |
|---|---|---|
| 2 parallel sessions of real-device automation | $398 | $4,776 |
| 2 parallel real-device automation + 1 KaneAI Max agent | $577 | $6,924 |
| 5 parallel real-device automation + 2 Real Device Plus Live + 2 KaneAI Max agents | $1,431 | $17,172 |
Calculated from TestMu AI's published annual prices. Excludes Enterprise discounts and add-ons.
For mobile app automation on real devices, the three main device clouds now cost the same at entry level. TestMu AI is cheaper for live and web testing.
| Product | TestMu AI | BrowserStack | Sauce Labs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Real-device app automation | $199 | $199 (Device Cloud), $249 (Pro) | $199 ($249 month to month) |
| Live testing on real devices | $39 | $39 (App Live, single user) | — |
| Desktop web automation | $79 | $99 | — |
| Real devices available | 10,000+ | 35,000+ | Thousands |

Yes, for most products. Automation gets 100 lifetime minutes on 2 parallel sessions; live testing gets short monthly sessions; HyperExecute gets 300 minutes. That is enough to evaluate the platform, not to run a CI pipeline. KaneAI has no free plan, though the Kane CLI is free to use locally.
TestMu AI sells device access and an AI agent separately. Drizz prices differently: tests are written in plain English, Vision AI runs them on real devices, and you pay per executed test step. The free trial includes 300 Drizz Tokens (about 30 runs), and the Solo plan is $49 a month for 5,000 tokens (about 500 runs). Teams can also use Drizz alongside a device cloud they already pay for. See Drizz vs TestMu AI and our LambdaTest alternatives guide.
LambdaTest, now TestMu AI, starts at $15 a month for live testing and $79 a month for desktop web automation. Mobile app automation costs $139 a month on emulators and simulators or $199 a month on real devices. All prices are per parallel session, billed annually; monthly billing costs 10–26% more.

KaneAI costs $17, $89 or $179 per agent per month billed annually for the Starter, Pro and Max plans ($19, $99 or $199 monthly). Mobile test authoring requires Max.
For live testing and desktop web automation, yes: $15 and $79 a month against BrowserStack's $29 and $99. For real-device mobile app automation both start at $199 a month per parallel session, billed annually.
