Real-device testing without a minute meter
TestKase is priced per parallel thread, with unlimited device-minutes on paid plans. Real phones, Android emulators, iOS simulators and desktop browsers all sit on the same subscription, with test management in the same workspace — so testers test for as long as the bug takes.
Free device-minutes to start · unlimited device-minutes on paid plans
Two ways to price a device cloud
Buy the minutes, or buy the lanes
A monthly minute allowance
Kobiton plans carry a monthly allowance of device minutes, and a team plans its testing against it.

TestKase: a thread count, minutes unmetered
You buy how many sessions can run at the same time — the thing that actually constrains a team on release day. Paid plans carry unlimited device-minutes, and there is no per-user charge on device testing.
See the published pricesWhat changes when the clock stops
When minutes are not metered, the meter stops appearing in testing decisions.
Explore as long as the bug takes
Nobody closes an exploratory session early to protect an allowance. The session ends when the bug is understood.
Hand a phone to anyone
A designer for an afternoon, a support engineer reproducing a ticket, a contractor for a fortnight — no seat to buy and no minutes to ration.
Run the suite again
The suite that would benefit from running twice runs twice. Slow tests cost time, not budget.

Phones and desktop browsers on the same thread
An app team usually owns a website too. A TestKase thread reaches real iPhones and Android handsets, Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on real Windows and macOS machines, and Android emulators and iOS simulators — so the whole product is tested from one place.
- Real phones and real desktop browsers, one plan
- Emulators and simulators included, chosen per test
- The device you debugged by hand is the one the suite uses at night
What one subscription covers, and what comes back
Every device class under one plan — and results that have somewhere to go.
| Item | What you get with TestKase | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Billing meter | Priced by how many sessions run at once, with unlimited device-minutes on paid plans. Kobiton plans carry a monthly allowance of device minutes. | Unmetered |
| One thread, every device class | A thread on Live, our interactive manual testing product, reaches real iPhones and Android handsets, desktop browsers on Windows and macOS, and Android emulators and iOS simulators. | One plan |
| What is in the session | Geolocation, network throttling, language and timezone, device audio, app install from an .apk or .ipa, an app inspector, network logs and bug reporting. | Built in |
| Same farm for automation | The same subscription covers Selenium, Appium, Playwright, Espresso and XCUITest runs against that farm. | Same devices |
| Results have a home | Test cases, cycles, plans, requirements and defects are in the same workspace, free for up to three users, so a failure has a case to attach to and a cycle to fail against. | Same workspace |
| Artifacts per test | Each test in a build carries its own recording, console log, network log and screenshots, with a per-test history behind it. | Per test |
| Visual and accessibility beside it | Visual baselines with ignore regions, and a free accessibility scanner that runs in a real desktop browser and marks the WCAG criteria automation cannot check as not checked, never as passed. | Same workspace |
Frequently asked questions
Kobiton meters device minutes — each plan comes with a monthly allowance and you manage against it. Our device plans are priced per parallel thread, and our pricing page states unlimited device-minutes on paid plans. Long exploratory sessions and slow suites do not eat a budget; you choose how many things run at once.
Yes. Live and Automate both reach Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on real Windows and macOS machines alongside real iPhones and Android handsets, from the same parallel thread.
Yes, both, under the same Live and Automate subscriptions as real hardware. Run the login flows, checkouts, layout checks and form validations on virtual devices, and keep the physical handsets for camera, SIM, sensor and battery behaviour.
Yes. Appium, Selenium and Playwright suites run as they are — you change the endpoint, not the tests. Espresso runs on Android phones and emulators. XCUITest runs on real iPhones and iPads, with your app re-signed by our development certificate, so push notifications, App Groups, iCloud and other special entitlements do not carry over.
In the same workspace. Cases, cycles, plans, requirements and defects sit beside the runs, free for up to three users, and a bug found in a manual session can become a defect filed into Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Asana, Trello, ClickUp, Monday or Azure Boards.
Yes. Every account gets free device-minutes on both Live and Automate, with no card required. Test management is free for up to three users, and accessibility scanning is free.
Point it at the TestKase endpoint and run it. Start with the free device-minutes, take a real handset for as long as the bug takes, and compare what comes back on your own tests.
