Data sources: QA Wolf's per-test rate (~$40–44/month) was confirmed in a direct sales conversation and is supported by Vendr aggregated data from 58+ QA Wolf purchases (median ACV $90K/year). Rates reflect web browser testing; mobile and GPU-intensive scenarios are priced higher. This page does not represent QA Wolf's official pricing — for current rates, contact QA Wolf directly.
How QA Wolf Pricing Works
Baseline rate for web browser testing. Sales-confirmed, not published publicly. Volume discounts require negotiation.
Most QA Wolf engagements start at ~200 tests, putting the practical floor at approximately $8,000/month.
Based on 58+ purchase records in Vendr's dataset. Range: $50K–$200K/year depending on scale and negotiation.
Key issue: QA Wolf's pricing scales linearly with the number of tests. Unlike Guardian's model — where the per-flow rate automatically decreases as you add more flows — QA Wolf's per-test rate stays flat until you negotiate a volume discount. You need a full sales cycle just to know what you'll actually pay.
