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.

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

"We like the model device factory for iOS and Android devices."

"Maintenance of the solution is easy."

"The main core concept behind this product is, it takes the overhead of maintaining all of your devices or particular computers. It continuously adds the latest devices that are coming into the market."

"I like that it offers full device capability."

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

"It just added some flexibility. There was nothing that improved our coding standards, etc. because all of our UIs were functional before we tried it."

"It is a stable solution. There's no lagging and jittering."

"The integration is very good."

More BrowserStack pros

"HyperExecute adds significant speed to execution, enhancing the overall testing process."

"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."

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

"In case something goes wrong at LambdaTest end, the Support team is extremely responsive to analyze any platform-related issues."

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

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

"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."

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

More LambdaTest pros

Cons

"Adding better integration with frameworks, particularly testing frameworks like Robot, would be of more value to customers and make their jobs easier."

"BrowserStack is very expensive and they keep increasing their cost, which is absolutely ridiculous, especially when someone like LambdaTest is coming through for literal thousands of dollars less, with the same services."

"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."

"I would like for there to be more integration with BrowserStack and other platforms."

"There is some stability issue in the product, making it in areas where improvements are required."

"Connectivity can sometimes mar the testing experience."

"We are struggling to do local testing."

"There is room for improvement in pricing."

More BrowserStack cons

"LambdaTest needs to have native application testing, which would be a great help to my team."

"I didn't like the solution's technical support and how they communicated and tried to fix the issues of customers like me."

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

"Load flow compared to other stacks needs improvement."

"The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive."

"LambdaTest needs to improve its speed and memory because it takes a long time to load."

"You cannot perform native-app testing, as they offer simulation for web testing only."

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

More LambdaTest cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BrowserStack could have a better price, but good things have a price."

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

"My company found the product's license to be very compatible with our budget, and we pay 5,000 to 10,000 per year for licenses."

"This solution costs less than competing products."

"The price of BrowserStack is high."

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

"The price is fine."

"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."

"I used the product for free."

"The product can be described as an averagely-priced solution."

"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."

"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."

"It is 60% cheaper and there is no fuss in maintaining the lab, so we have more time to do the testing."

"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."
