TestPlanHQ vs testRigor

They generate new tests. We run the ones you already have.

testRigor's strength is authoring: plain-English, no-code test generation for people who'd rather not write test code at all. TestPlanHQ starts one step later. You already have tavern, Hurl, Bruno, Playwright, or pytest suites, and you need them orchestrated, scheduled, and reported on together, as they are.

Where the line actually sits: testRigor writes tests for you in English and runs them on its own infrastructure. TestPlanHQ doesn't write your tests. It runs the files you or your team already authored, in their own formats, composed into one Plan. Starting from zero and want AI to write the tests? That's testRigor. Already have suites scattered across formats? That's us.

Side by side

What each one is actually built to do

Verified against testRigor's own homepage (testrigor.com, checked live) and its published pricing FAQ; testRigor does not publish exact plan pricing on its site, cited via third-party pricing trackers where noted.

	testRigor	TestPlanHQ
Core job	Generate and run tests from plain English, no code requiredsource: testrigor.com	Orchestrate the test files you've already written, across formats
Runs your existing tests	Its own generated format not built to run your existing tavern, Hurl, Bruno, or pytest files as-is	Yes. Runs real tavern, hurl, bruno, playwright, sql, and pytest files, unmodified
Platform coverage	Web, mobile (iOS/Android), desktop, API, email, SMS, phone calls, mainframesource: testrigor.com	Whatever your chosen type covers API, browser UI, or database, in the formats you already write
Agent/MCP surface	Claude Code and Skills integration, for AI-assisted test generationsource: testrigor.com	A full MCP lifecycle author, validate, run, poll, and manage Plans, Environments, and Schedules, not just generation
Pricing transparency	Not published. Pro estimated at $900–1,000/mo by third-party trackerssource: third-party pricing aggregators, not testRigor's own site	Every tier published upfront, including a genuine free plan no request-a-quote gate before you see a number
Cross-format Plans	Not applicable one authoring format, one execution engine	One ordered Plan mixes 8 types, with per-step and per-group failure handling
Scheduling	Not a headline feature	Full RFC 5545 recurrence, real timezone and DST correctness

Picking between them

Two tools, two different starting points

testRigor, if you're starting without engineers to write tests

A non-technical tester writing real automated coverage in plain English is a genuinely useful capability, and it's not something we offer we don't write your tests, we run the ones you already have. testRigor's platform coverage (native mobile, mainframe, SMS, phone) also reaches further than any single type in TestPlanHQ today. If your team already has engineers writing real tests and the problem is coordinating them, that's where we start instead.

Already have real tests? Skip the rewrite.

Bring your tavern, Hurl, Bruno, Playwright, or pytest suite as it is.
