Introduction
Mobot tests mobile apps on real devices using physical robots. Its website explains that Mobot robots run your Mobot test cases on real iPhones and Android phones, tapping, swiping and gesturing like users, and a QA analyst verifies every failure before it reaches your team, so engineers get real, reproducible defects without writing or maintaining scripts.
Mobot offers a platform of robots, real devices and analysts, plus managed QA services where test cases are built and run for you. The site positions it as an alternative to scripted automation such as Appium or Maestro and describes a workflow in which coding agents hand work to Mobot, which plans test cases, schedules time on the robot fleet and returns defect reports with screenshots, logs and reproduction steps. Mobot reports more than 5.8 million physical QA actions and 145,000 automated test runs across 83 mobile apps in a 12-month window, and publishes an annual defect report. Plans include Credits and Mobot Unlimited (a flat annual rate), and a free trial includes 1,000 credits.
