Pricing model	Credit allowances vary by plan and test type. Dollar prices require a sales conversation. Source	Pro is $79/month for 700 credits. Test runs and Discovery spend credits; see the offer below.
Triggers	CI calls the Reflect API to execute a suite. The docs provide recipes for GitHub Actions, GitLab, Azure Pipelines and other providers. Source	Web app, CLI and MCP. Schedules, deploy webhooks and GitHub Actions are available; plan requirements are below.
Maintenance	Reflect records several selectors for each element and tries them in order of specificity to make tests resilient. Source	You update the scenario when the expected behavior changes. The agent chooses browser actions during each run.

Where Reflect is the better fit

Choose Reflect when testers want to record a flow in a cloud browser. Its recorder opens an interactive browser session and shares it with the test author. Source

Choose Reflect when you need multiple web browsers, native mobile on real devices, or SAP and Salesforce testing. Monito's runner is desktop Chromium. Source

Where Monito fits

Use Monito when you want to write the expected web behavior directly and review a report after the agent runs it. A saved scenario can check that a profile change persists after reload.

A Pro status page can show visitors which saved journeys are working, based on scheduled and deploy-webhook runs. Use it when the same checks need to inform your team and your users.

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.

Plans and credit usage

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.
