Reviewer scorecard
“Built-in database means zero external dependencies for simple CRUD apps. The automation engine is a nice bonus.”
“Playwright has surpassed Cypress in capabilities. Multi-browser, auto-waiting, and trace viewer are all better in Playwright.”
“For simple internal tools that need their own database, Budibase's self-contained approach is practical.”
“Was the best E2E framework but Playwright has taken the lead. The cloud pricing for CI is expensive.”
“The internal tools market is crowded. Budibase, Appsmith, ToolJet — differentiation is minimal.”
“The test runner UI and time-travel debugging are the most intuitive of any testing tool.”
