AegisRunner vs Mabl
Both AegisRunner and Mabl use AI for test automation. The key difference: Mabl requires you to record tests first. AegisRunner generates them from a URL — no recording, no clicking through flows, no Chrome extension.
Why teams choose AegisRunner over Mabl
AI generates, not just heals
Mabl uses AI to heal broken tests after you record them. AegisRunner's AI generates the tests from scratch — crawls your site, analyzes every page, and writes test cases automatically.
No vendor lock-in
Mabl tests live in Mabl's proprietary format — there's no way to export them. AegisRunner exports standard Playwright TypeScript files you can run anywhere.
Transparent pricing
Mabl requires contacting sales for pricing (typically $500+/mo). AegisRunner has public pricing starting at $0/mo with a free tier, and $9/mo for Starter.
