    4.1/5
    Very good

    Percy: when it makes sense.

    Percy works for dev/QA teams with CI pipelines and frequent UI iterations; for small static projects, manual testing is enough.

    Keep if

    You build web/app with regular UI changes.. You need to automatically catch visual regressions.

    Challenge if

    You do only manual testing with infrequent UI changes.. You seek solution without CI/CD infrastructure.
