    When it makes sense. Keep BrowserStack, or challenge it?

    Keep if

    • You're testing a web app across many browsers.
    • You need real devices for testing.
    BrowserStack becomes worthwhile when
    • You use it at least once a week
    • The monthly cost ($29) is small next to the time it saves you

    Challenge if

    • You only test on Chrome/Firefox.
    • You have a very limited budget.
    BrowserStack becomes too expensive when
    • You use it less than once a month
    • A simple free version or a tool already in your stack would do
