Bug0 Pricing
Plans, Costs & Comparisons in 2026
Bug0 publishes two plans. The entry price looks attractive — but the proprietary Passmark library creates full vendor lock-in that most teams only discover after switching.

The Passmark lock-in risk
Bug0's tests are built on their proprietary Passmark library — not standard Playwright. If Bug0 is discontinued, acquired, or you decide to switch vendors, your entire test suite becomes unusable. You cannot export, run, or migrate Passmark tests to any other platform. This is a material business risk that the $2,500/mo headline price does not reflect.
Guardian writes standard Playwright TypeScript. You own every line and can run it independently today, tomorrow, and with any vendor.
