Reviewer scorecard
“Playwright has surpassed Cypress in capabilities. Multi-browser, auto-waiting, and trace viewer are all better in Playwright.”
“The free tier is incredibly generous. Multimodal capabilities and grounding with Google Search are unique advantages.”
“Was the best E2E framework but Playwright has taken the lead. The cloud pricing for CI is expensive.”
“Google's track record of killing products is concerning, but the Gemini API is too useful to ignore.”
“The test runner UI and time-travel debugging are the most intuitive of any testing tool.”
“Google's data advantage and multimodal-first approach make Gemini a serious contender in the model race.”
