Key features	Real, full-featured cloud Chrome sessions (not headless-only) Best-effort Stealth Mode with fingerprint masking and CAPTCHA handling Compatibility with Playwright, Puppeteer, and Selenium MCP server and agent-skill support for Claude, Cursor, and Gemini Session persistence and built-in parallelism	Open-source Agents framework for Python and Node.js Automatic turn detection and interruption handling Inference gateway for STT, LLM and TTS models Telephony with phone numbers and SIP integration Agent simulations and session observability
Pros	Backed by TestMu AI's multi-year (since 2018) testing-infrastructure track record rather than a brand-new vendor Free tier lets developers test the product before paying Works with standard automation frameworks (Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium) instead of a proprietary-only API	Framework is open source and self-hostable Free Build plan with free agent minutes each month Per-minute pricing shown with a cost estimator
Cons	Stealth Mode is explicitly best-effort, not a guarantee against detection or blocking Recent rebrand (January 2026) means search results and reviews still reference the older LambdaTest name, creating some confusion Proxy bandwidth caps on entry plans (1-5 GB) can limit scraping-heavy workloads	Developer-oriented; needs code to build agents Per-minute costs add up across speech, model and telephony User and call figures are the company's own
Company	TestMu AI (formerly LambdaTest), founded 2018	LiveKit
