Introduction

Momentic tests web, iOS, and Android apps. An AI action takes a step described in plain English and performs it in the browser or app. A natural-language locator targets an element by a description, such as “the blue Sign up button”, instead of a CSS or XPath selector. Tests adapt to small UI changes on their own.

Failure recovery can generate steps for an eligible transient failure during a run. It does not edit the test, and the original assertion must pass afterward. Mo is an AI QA engineer for web, iOS, and Android apps. Mo turns a flow you approve into a Momentic YAML test and opens a pull request in your repo. Saved tests run on a schedule, on every pull request, or in CI, on hosted browsers, iOS simulators, and Android emulators.

Features

1. Plain-language and YAML tests: A test is a sequence of steps. AI steps describe the target. YAML steps name the action more tightly.
2. Hosted browsers: Free includes 5 concurrent browsers. Scale raises that to 25. Enterprise concurrency is custom. You do not install Playwright on a runner to get the first result, because execution is in Momentic’s cloud.
3. Editor: Tests are authored and debugged in Momentic’s UI.
4. Failure recovery: Recovery can generate steps for an eligible transient failure during a run. It does not edit the test, and the original assertion must pass afterward.
5. Mobile sessions: Virtual Android emulators and iOS simulators, not a hardware lab. Free includes 2 Android and 2 iOS sessions at once, 15 minutes each. Scale includes 5 of each, still 15 minutes. Enterprise sessions run up to 1 hour, with custom concurrency.
6. Email and SMS: Disposable email inboxes are unlimited on Free, Scale, and Enterprise. Free lists zero phone numbers. Scale includes 5 phone numbers for SMS and one-time passwords. Enterprise lists unlimited phone numbers.
7. CI triggers: Scheduled runs and pipeline hooks start the same hosted tests. The gate is Momentic’s result, so CI credentials and the Momentic project both have to be up.
8. Retention: Full results and artifacts are kept 30 days on Free and Scale. Enterprise results retention is custom. Aggregate analytics are kept forever on each published plan.

Pros

1. Authoring is fast for a UI flow: Describing a button beats writing a selector, until the description matches the wrong node.
2. Auto-healing: Tests adapt to small UI changes on their own.
3. Web and mobile: The same product covers hosted browsers, iOS simulators, and Android emulators.
4. Inboxes for signup flows: Email inboxes are unlimited on the published plans.
5. Recovery does not edit the test: It can add steps for an eligible transient failure, and the original assertion must still pass.

Cons

1. Recovery is narrow: It applies to an eligible transient failure, does not edit the test, and still requires the original assertion to pass.
2. Auto-healing is for small UI changes: Momentic describes it as tests adapting to small UI changes, not as a replacement for a device lab.
3. Hosted only: Source of the runner is not yours. Enterprise is the tier with SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning, an audit log, and custom terms.
4. Virtual mobile, short sessions: Free and Scale cap a mobile session at 15 minutes, on emulators or simulators. Enterprise lists 1 hour. A hardware device lab is a different tool.
5. 30-day artifacts on self-serve plans: Full results on Free and Scale are kept 30 days. Enterprise retention is custom. Analytics without the screenshot is a weaker record.

Usage and Links (Example)

Create a project at momentic.ai, write a test in the editor, and run the steps there first. A step list for a public page looks like:

- action: navigate
  url: https://example.com
- action: click
  description: the primary call to action
- assert: text "Example Domain" is visible

The exact YAML keys are in Momentic’s editor and docs; treat the block above as the shape, and confirm property names in the product before you commit a suite. Connect CI with the project token Momentic issues, and fail the job when the hosted run fails. Start with normal steps. Add AI actions only where a stable selector or description is not available.

Pricing

Prices below are from Momentic’s pricing page. Plans are a monthly dollar balance for test steps, hosted runtime, AI features, and Mo. There is no per-user seat charge. That page says new plans are billed in dollars, and that Momentic does not sell credits or the $125 Pay-as-you-go plan. Teams already on Pay-as-you-go keep that plan.

On Free and Scale, a test step is $0.0125 and an AI-generated or failure-recovery step is $0.025. Editor test steps are free. A hosted browser is $0.005 per minute, or $0.0067 per minute for a large or WebGL browser. An Android emulator is $0.10 per minute and an iOS simulator is $0.1875 per minute. AI test selection is $0.10 per call, result classification is $0.39 per call, and triage is $1.25 per call. Mo is $1 per $1 of Mo spend. Enterprise rates are custom.

1. Free: $0 a month, for individuals and small projects. Includes $50 of usage each month, all core features and AI test authoring, and 30-day results. No credit card. 5 concurrent browsers, 2 Android and 2 iOS sessions of 15 minutes, unlimited email inboxes, and no phone numbers. Runs pause at $0. Included usage resets monthly and does not roll over. Adding funds is not included.
2. Scale: $500 a month, billed in advance, for teams running tests regularly. Includes $500 of usage. Add funds from $50. Each top-up is $50 to $1,000, limited to $1,000 per calendar month. Added funds do not expire and are used after included usage. No overages: runs pause at $0. 25 concurrent browsers, 5 Android and 5 iOS virtual devices (15 minutes), 5 phone numbers, 30-day results, and a shared Slack channel. Included usage resets each month after the invoice is paid and does not roll over.
3. Enterprise: Custom, test-based pricing. Contact sales. Adds SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning, an audit log, 1-hour mobile sessions, higher API rate limits, priority support, an uptime SLA, onboarding, and a dedicated account manager.

Recommended for?

1. Teams that want an AI-assisted E2E suite and will check a recovered run. Recovery does not edit the test, and the original assertion must still pass.
2. Web apps whose flows fit hosted browsers.
3. Signup and email paths, using the included inboxes. Phone numbers for SMS start at 5 on Scale and are unlimited on Enterprise.
4. Not for hardware-specific mobile bugs, payment-device labs, or teams that must run tests entirely inside their own VPC on a self-serve plan.

Conclusion

Momentic tests web, iOS, and Android apps with steps you can describe in plain English. Tests can adapt to small UI changes, and failure recovery can continue an eligible transient failure without editing the test. Hosted mobile runs use emulators and simulators. Plan limits and rates are in the pricing section above. Keep a real device lab if emulators are not the question you are asking.
