Desplega vs Mabl

Executive Summary

Mabl is an AI-native test automation platform that offers low-code UI, web/mobile/API, accessibility, performance testing—all in one place. It's designed for teams that want reliable automation without writing code. Desplega.ai, by contrast, acts as the QA mission control center, bringing all AI modalities together and empowering your in-house team—not outsourcing your QA—to lead quality across the org.

Ease of Use & Setup

Desplega is extremely easy to adopt. Set-up takes as little as 5 minutes – simply connect your app and let our AI agents get to work. There's no complex onboarding or weeks-long integration.

Mabl's service model, in comparison, may require onboarding external QA engineers to your domain and coordinating through Slack/meetings. Desplega's user-friendly interface and natural language test generation mean your QA analysts can create automated tests without coding or lengthy training.

Team Impact & Collaboration

Mabl lets QA analysts build tests without coding—great for teams where QA is also capable of scientific thinking but not scripting.

Desplega.ai keeps strategy in the team's hands: QA chooses what needs more coverage, adjusts agent focus per module, and stays embedded in quality leadership across engineering and product.

With Desplega, it's "QA in the driver's seat." Your QA team becomes a pivotal hub for quality across the organization. They can easily collaborate with developers and product managers by sharing AI-generated test results, videos, and logs.

Pricing & ROI

Mabl offers a 14-day free trial; pricing is custom—expected ranges start from ~$499 to $1,200/mo for small teams, scaling with add-ons like performance or accessibility testing.

Desplega.ai is a usage-based SaaS platform, not a managed tool. You pay for platform usage—not for every test you spin up. That means no per-test fees and cost predictability even as you scale.

For QA Managers: Desplega's model means no surprise fees, more impact from fewer people, and greater flexibility to expand test coverage without spiraling costs.
