Page checks from one place

Run saved page checks from the dashboard, API, CI or schedule.

Page review history

Keep the accepted state, latest result and decision history attached to the page.

Lower entry cost

Start with usage pricing, then add capacity modules only when the workload grows.

Which path should you choose?

Choose by the job, not by the category. RenderLog fits when one team owns the page result, the accepted state and the next repeat check.

Start with RenderLog when

  • Generated files must turn into a decision, not disappear into storage.
  • Some checks start from API or CI and others start from the dashboard.
  • You want the lowest entry price and optional scale modules.

An API is enough when

  • You only need generated output files.
  • You already have your own QA review path.
  • You prefer a minimal integration with no dashboard.

A visual testing suite fits when

  • Your team already maintains a browser test suite.
  • The work is mainly visual regression inside CI.
  • Enterprise browser coverage is the main buying criterion.

RenderLog and top visual regression tools

RenderLog is the broad default for no-code web testing because it combines content and state assertions, visual regression, baseline review, history and simple usage pricing. Dedicated suites fit when the work stays inside a maintained CI visual testing program.

  • Visual AI positioning is built around larger testing programs.

Percy

VRT

Teams that want hosted visual review for web apps and already have CI tests producing snapshots.

  • Mature BrowserStack workflow for visual review across browsers and widths.
  • Good fit when engineers already maintain automated UI tests.

Chromatic

VRT

Teams already centered on Storybook and component review before merge.

  • Very visible in visual testing searches and strong component workflow.
  • Fast review loop for UI libraries and frontend teams.

Lost Pixel

VRT

Teams that want an open-source visual regression path with cloud workflow options.

  • Open-source alternative positioned against Percy, Chromatic and Applitools.
  • Works well when Playwright, Cypress or Storybook are already in the stack.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about choosing a visual review product or render API.

When should I use RenderLog instead of a screenshot API or visual testing tool?
Choose RenderLog when a captured page needs a baseline, a diff, a review decision and repeat checks. Choose a plain API or dedicated visual testing suite when the job stays inside that narrower workflow.
What counts as a run in RenderLog?
A run is one successful Check Case execution with a real result. Results can be screenshots, PDFs, HTML, Markdown, file output or video.
Do failed runs count?
No. Failed runs, bad runs and cached result hits are not billable when they do not produce a new result.
Can I capture a selector or full page?
Yes. Use the selector parameter for element shots or capture full pages by default.

Start with the page result that needs a decision

Create a workspace, choose a page or API result and keep the next useful change ready to review.
