Pricing based on Results, not Hours.
Traditional QA agencies bill you for time spent debugging. We bill you for working user journeys. One Flow = One Automated User Journey.
Aligned Incentives
Hourly billing encourages slow work. Per-test billing encourages "bloat" (splitting one test into five).Flow Pricing aligns our goals with yours: covering the maximum amount of ground in the most efficient way possible.
Total Predictability
Never worry about a run-away bill. If you need 10 critical paths tested, you know exactly what it costs. No "setup fees," no "debugging hours," no surprises.
Focus on Business Value
We don't count "unit tests." We count User Journeys. A "Flow" corresponds to a feature your user actually experiences, like "Sign Up," "Purchase," or "Reset Password."
The Flow Definition
Limit20 Interactions
Enough to cover complex forms (like Checkout). Includes distinct actions like clicks, inputs, key presses, or selects.
Limit10 Assertions
High-fidelity validation. We don't just check if the page loads; we verify text, data accuracy, UI states, and URL routing.
Limit3 Minutes Execution
A generous buffer. Playwright is fast—most flows run in under 45 seconds. This protects us against server timeouts.
Fair Use Policy: If a massive test scenario exceeds these limits (e.g., an End-to-End full site tour), it counts as multiple Flows.

The Old Way vs. The Guardian Way
Building an internal QA team is expensive and slow. Traditional outsourcing delivers low-quality code. We fixed both.
In-House Team
- $120k+/yr per engineer
- Slow hiring process
- Distracted by meetings
- Infrastructure costs extra
Body Shops
- Hourly billing (slow is better)
- Low-quality, flaky code
- Proprietary frameworks
- High turnover rate
QA Guardian
- Flat Monthly Fee (Predictable)
- Standard Playwright Code
- AI + Engineer Verification
- 24hr Self-Healing SLA
Why Engineering Leaders Choose Guardian
Most QA services sell you "hours" of manual clicking. We sell you a self-healing automated infrastructure that you actually own.
AI-Powered, Engineer-Verified
AI writes the boilerplate 10x faster, but our Senior QA Engineers verify every logic gate. You get the speed of automation with the critical thinking of a human expert.
100% Portable Playwright Code
Zero vendor lock-in. We write standard, clean Playwright/TypeScript code. If you ever leave Guardian, you take your test flow with you—it runs anywhere.
Run on Every Commit. Free.
We don't charge "per run." Hook our tests into your CI/CD pipeline and run your full regression flow 50 times a day. The price never changes.
Self-Healing Maintenance
UI changed? Selector broke? Our system detects the flake and heals the test automatically within 24 business hours. Your dashboard stays green.
The "24-Hour Healing" Promise
Software changes fast. If a UI update breaks one of your flows, our AI agents (verified and edited by humans) will repair the test within 24 business hours.
