Top 5 Reasons Customers Choose Perfecto vs. Sauce Labs
Both provide a cloud-based SaaS solution for automated mobile and web app testing, but there are some core differences.
Perfecto is not your average testing vendor. Whether you are just starting your automation journey or looking to reach greater testing maturity, we are committed to working with you as a full-fledged testing partner.
Perfecto adopts a comprehensive approach to cater to your business needs, ranging from consultation to practical assistance in the transformation process.
Investing in our adoption teams helps us ensure successful implementation and faster realization of our customers’ business goals.
Testing web and mobile applications end-to-end has never been more achievable, through the combination of the two most powerful continuous testing platforms on the market.
By leveraging Perforce’s Application Quality suite of solutions (Perfecto & BlazeMeter), organizations can achieve comprehensive application quality from mobile to mainframe.
Get ready to create, execute, and analyze all testing types: API, Functional, Non-Functional, Exploratory, and Unit, across more devices and browsers – all at maximum scale. Enjoy our industry-first support for top testing use cases, such as mobile UX testing, mobile test data, and mock services (virtual services).
No one allows you to automate more complex test cases than Perfecto. Sauce Labs supports basic automation coverage based on Selenium and Appium capabilities, while Perfecto offers extended coverage including:
- Multi-factor authentication
- Voice control
- Image injection
- Network virtualization
- And more…
Customers who have switched to Perfecto save significant time and resources analyzing their test results – up to the tune of $250,000/year. Don’t spend minutes executing your tests, but days analyzing the results.
Sauce Labs provides basic reporting and rich test artifacts.
Perfecto takes that to the next level by providing AI-driven, noise-filtering reporting and analytics that includes root-cause analysis, heatmaps, and a CI dashboard. Faster and smarter feedback is possible with Perfecto.
With recognition from IDC, G2, PeerSpot, and more, it is no wonder that Perfecto is a top-trusted enterprise mobile and web testing platform in the industry.
We meet the most stringent security requirements and provide unparalleled scale with customers executing more than 1 million tests per month on average.

Total Cost of Ownership
Price is an important factor in choosing the right testing platform. It is important to understand the capabilities and feature comparison between the vendors you are evaluating. Some components are easily comparable. Others contribute differently to the total cost of ownership.
When comparing pricing between Perfecto and Sauce Labs, don’t lose sight of the advanced features that drive considerable value and cost savings as you scale your test automation.
Mobile Devices & Browsers
Lab costs should be comparable across most vendors, but make sure you understand what you are paying for:
- Real devices vs. emulators/simulators
- Private, dedicated devices vs. shared, public devices
- Datacenter coverage and locations
Scalable, Elastic Test Execution
Many test automation platforms are priced based on the levels of concurrency (or parallel test executions) you need. Features like Perfecto’s Bursting capabilities prevent you from having to pay for max concurrency when you aren’t using it.
Test Reporting and Analytics
Time is money. Don’t spend valuable time and resources analyzing test results. All Perfecto subscriptions include robust test analytics and reporting. Our customers have reduced the time and manual effort it takes to analyze their test results with Sauce – leading to significant cost savings of up to $250,000 per year.
Skillset-Matched Test Creation
SDET’s and development resources are hard to come by for many organizations. Giving your business testers the ability to create reliable test automation is more affordable and realistic for many of our customers. It is the only way for some customers to get up and running with automation, while it helps others really accelerate their levels of automation. On average, Perfecto customers achieve 85% automation and they are able to do it with fewer resources.
Implementation & Onboarding
When you invest in a solution, it is important that the vendor invests in your success as well. Perfecto’s 6-step implementation plan is designed to get new customers up and running quickly. We also offer our expertise and guidance on testing strategy and best practices. In addition, we offer Black Belt services for organizations that need the extra help. Investing in a partner that is committed to making you successful rather than just selling you software is critical.
