Zerocheck vs Autonoma

Autonoma generates an end-to-end suite from your repository and runs it against a preview deployment on every pull request. Zerocheck is a QA agent that runs the flows your team describes or imports, against any reachable URL, and shows the evidence per step.

What Autonoma does well

  • •Self-serve start: a source-available platform under the Business Source License 1.1, which Autonoma describes as open source, with a free tier of 100K credits and no credit card, pay-as-you-go at US$100 per 150K credits, and free self-hosting. On 21 September 2026 the site lists SOC 2 Type II, SSO and VPC peering for enterprise deployments.
  • •Codebase-first generation: a GitHub App provisions an isolated preview environment per pull request, a planner reads the repository and generates a natural-language suite, an Environment Factory endpoint in your backend seeds data for each run, and a reviewer agent filters environmental noise before results are posted to the pull request.

What to evaluate with Autonoma

  • —Check what the setup needs from you: repository access for the planner, the GitHub App, your stack configured so its preview environments can build each pull request, and a data-seeding endpoint implemented in your backend with their SDK. Teams that restrict repository access need those in place first.
  • —Decide who owns the expected outcomes. A suite generated from code describes what the code does today; the release checklist your team trusts describes what the product must do. Confirm how a generated test expresses an expected outcome and how a failure is explained to the engineer who has to act on it.

How Zerocheck differs

  • Start from a URL, a test account and the flows you already check: describe them in plain English or import the release checklist. Zerocheck does not read your repository and does not need a preview environment per pull request.
  • Run the same YAML tests locally against localhost, in GitHub Actions or in a hosted browser, and keep them in your repository. There is no self-hosted platform to operate.
  • Inspect a screenshot and verdict for every step, every attempt and each heal with its old and new target. A pass after a transient retry stays labelled flaky.

FAQ

Do I have to give Autonoma access to my code?

Yes. Its documentation says the planner reads your codebase to generate the suite, and its GitHub App builds a preview environment for each pull request to run it. Zerocheck needs a reachable URL, a test account and the flows to check; it does not read your repository.

Is Autonoma open source?

Its source is public on GitHub under the Business Source License 1.1, which converts to Apache 2.0 in March 2028, and it can be self-hosted for free. That is different from an OSI-approved open-source licence today; read the licence before building on it.

How should I compare Zerocheck with Autonoma?

Use the same real user flow and expected outcome. Note what each product needed before the first run, then inspect one passing run, one intentional product failure and one harmless UI change. Compare who wrote the test, what evidence the failure carried and what the ongoing cost is.

What does the Zerocheck Pilot include?

Start on the free tier: US$0, about 200 test runs a month, no credit card, onboarding call required. The US$500/month Pilot includes one project on a dedicated instance and hands-on checklist import in week one. We agree usage and run cadence with you. Your team supplies the app, test accounts and expected outcomes, then saves and reruns its own tests.

Can I keep my existing test suite?

Yes. Evaluate Zerocheck alongside it for selected browser flows. There is no automatic migration or import of another framework's test code.
