Reviewer scorecard
“Free tier with no restrictions is remarkable. Completion quality rivals Copilot for most languages.”
“Best E2E testing framework. Auto-wait, trace viewer, and codegen eliminate the biggest pain points of browser testing.”
“Hard to argue with free. The enterprise features and Windsurf IDE show they have a real business model beyond the free tier.”
“Replaced Cypress in most serious projects. Multi-browser support and the trace viewer are genuine advantages.”
“Giving away code completion to win IDE market share with Windsurf is a smart long-term play.”
“Playwright is becoming the standard for browser automation beyond testing — AI agents, scraping, and verification.”
