Cons	Usage-based pricing can scale unpredictably with test complexity Deterministic simulation concepts carry a learning curve Built for large, complex distributed systems, overkill for small apps	Pricing is not published and the pricing page 404s Finds traversal and performance faults, not design problems No automation can judge whether a game is fun
