Momentic public facts, checked 2026-10-23
	Momentic	Source
Exploratory agent	Mo explores an app from a prompt and returns findings, recordings and reproduction steps. The homepage calls Mo live, while its changelog says private beta; its release status is unclear.	Source
Free plan	$0 with 2,000 credits/month for steps and hosting. No credit card; usage stops at the limit.	Source
Paid plan	Pay-as-you-go is $125/month, including 10,000 credits/month, plus additional usage charges. Enterprise pricing is custom.	Source
Credit units	A normal step costs 1 credit; a step generated by an AI action or failure recovery costs 2. A hosted browser costs 1 credit/minute. AI add-ons are metered separately.	Source
Platforms	Chromium and Chrome for web, iOS simulators and Android emulators, locally or hosted by Momentic. The homepage changelog labels iOS testing as beta; the entry is undated.	Source
Cloud workflow	Cloud-editor authoring and cloud-hosted test execution are deprecated. Hosted browsers remain available under your CLI or CI runner.	Source

How the workflows differ

Momentic compared with Monito
	Momentic	Monito
Authoring	Plain-English goals with preset steps and assertions in YAML. Coding agents can author tests over MCP. Source	Describe the browser journey and expected result in plain English.
Where tests live	Tests and reusable modules are YAML files in your repository. Source	Scenarios saved in Monito, with Markdown export. No Playwright code export.
Pricing model	Credits meter steps, hosting and AI add-ons. A Momentic credit is not the same unit as a Monito credit. Source	Pro is $79/month for 700 credits. Test runs and Discovery spend credits; see the offer below.
Triggers	Your CLI or CI runner controls repository tests, including schedules recreated in CI after cloud migration. Source	Web app, CLI and MCP. Schedules, deploy webhooks and GitHub Actions are available; plan requirements are below.
Maintenance	Momentic describes locator healing, failure recovery, reviewed permanent repairs and quarantine. Its docs distinguish regressions and infrastructure failures from repairs. Source	You update the scenario when the expected behavior changes. The agent chooses browser actions during each run.

Where Momentic is the better fit

Choose Momentic when test files need code review and version control alongside the application. Its YAML format keeps the tests and reusable modules in your repository. Source

Choose Momentic when the same testing workflow must cover native iOS or Android as well as web. It offers simulators and emulators, with iOS labeled beta in the homepage changelog; Monito runs desktop Chromium only. Source

Choose Momentic when SOC 2 Type 2 certification is a vendor requirement. Momentic states that it is certified. Source

Choose Momentic when SMS/OTP testing needs dedicated phone numbers. Its Pay-as-you-go plan includes 5 phone numbers for that purpose. Source

Where Monito fits

Use Monito when you want to save a web journey and let the hosted runner operate it. You maintain the scenario's expected behavior and review each run's evidence.

For a deployed app, schedules and deploy hooks can rerun the same scenario. For work on localhost, the CLI or local MCP server opens a per-run tunnel to the hosted browser.

Monito runs desktop Chromium. It does not test native mobile apps, provide Firefox or WebKit runs, or export Playwright code.

Monito pricing

Pro is $79/month for 700 credits, counted on the pricing page as about 600 test runs and 5 Discoveries. A test run is 1 credit and Discovery is 20, so the same 700 credits are 700 test runs if you skip Discovery. Team is $199/month for 1,800 credits (about 1,500 tests and 15 Discoveries). Yearly plans cost ten monthly payments ($790 and $1,990) and grant twelve months of credits upfront. If Monito caused the error, that run is free.

50 free test credits every month. Your balance refills to 50 on the 1st of each month (UTC), counting credits reserved by running tests. Unused credits are not added again; purchased credits are kept. Your signup credits count as the first month. Free includes one daily schedule. Verify your email to receive monthly refills. Any schedule other than that one daily schedule, a deploy webhook, GitHub Actions, and a public status page need Pro.

Published benchmark evidence

On the held-out benchmark measured 2026-10-12, the verdict was right on 58 of 60 runs, with 0 false passes in 30 chances (95% upper bound 9.6%). The held-out set covers 5 open-source apps.

On our own corpus, measured 2026-10-05, the verdict was right on 110 of 111 runs, with 0 false passes in 57 chances (95% upper bound 5.2%), and 88 of 111 verdicts cited the required evidence. Neither set is a promise about your app. The held-out set is a small number of real bugs in open-source apps. The corpus is ours. The method and the limits are on the reliability page.
