Scanning QR and adding item in basket and completing E2E flows. If you have a use case where you want to test application under test on different Apple devices with different iOS /iPadOS versions with real devices, then BrowserStack is one stop solution for you. The support team is also quick and gets a resolution within 24hrs or at least they acknowledge, which is the good part.

When it comes to doing or performing testing on the applications or devices then Kobiton is the best option to go forward with. Kobiton is best for both manual and automation testing. It also comes with great features like appium scripts generation which really useful and less time-consuming and makes it really good to go with.

Cons
BrowserStack
  • I would appreciate if they increase their maximum session time limit. Their current session limit is around 2 hours and for some lengthy end to end use cases we have, that becomes a hurdle.
  • Right now, the session recordings are unavailable after 30 days. I would appreciate if that availability is extended beyond that time frame.
  • Would love to have information about their Dedicated Device Cloud service available on the Browserstack website similar to other plans.
  • Would love to have an option for purchasing a plan that is more than 5 parallels, directly from the website instead of contacting sales team for that.

This decisions mostly taken by senior management at VP and CEO level, they also need approval from many other teams like dev, design according to the use, and finance due to competitive cost, They do check other product as well, and I am just a single person from QA team, and not a decision maker

Usability
BrowserStack
It integrates directly in internal networks and local development. The point and click interface of choosing your device, pick the browser/version and you have a working emulation of that exact environment. What else could you ask for? I've set our least computer savvy users up with BrowserStack for testing in minutes. It feels like it's just part of your local environemnt.

Performance
BrowserStack
The tests are fast considering the fact that they're Appium tests. I've seen tests reliably pass or fail when they're supposed to, with next to zero issues on the BrowserStack side of things. Tests launch only seconds after I kick off them off from my CLI.

I'm saying a 10 for support for BrowserStack only based on feedback from the development team. I myself have never had to reach out to support for any questions or issues, but others in the company have. From my conversations with them, the support was fantastic and had been a pleasure working with the BrowserStack team.

We did a benchmark to compare multiple criterias: Security, reliability, Sound, Variety of devices, availability of devices, how long before new released devices are made available, easy to use, extra features, customer support, company reference, integration with our tools. BrowserStack got the highest score and the overall price was also cheaper than their competitors.
