Cons	Founded in 2023, so its long-term reliability across large, complex codebases is less proven than established QA vendors Free tier's 100 runs a month and single-repository limit will be tight for active teams shipping frequently Automatic UI-adaptation is not infallible; substantial redesigns can still require flow recapture	Pricing is only quoted after a scan of your app Agent-authored fix PRs still need human review before merge Autonomous discovery covers what it can reach, not what matters most
