Compared honestly, on the questions you actually score.
Below is Zenius next to the three vendors most often on the same shortlist (QA Wolf, Rainforest QA and Testlio) compiled from their public materials in September 2026. Each is a good company; they solve different problems. If a vendor tells us a row is wrong, we correct it.

Compiled September 2026 from vendor websites and public reports: QA Wolf pricing, QA Wolf SOC 2 announcement, Rainforest QA and reported Rainforest pricing (Bug0, May 2026), Testlio pricing. "Not marketed" means we could not find the capability in the vendor's public materials. Ask them directly. Trademarks belong to their owners.

Scoring guidance
Three questions that separate a tool from a function.
Most QA RFPs score coverage percentage, price per test and integrations. Those matter, but they don't tell you whether a release is safe. Add these three rows and the shortlist reorders itself.
- Who signs? Which named person is accountable for the go/no-go, and what evidence do they attach? A dashboard cannot be held accountable.
- What happens on the peak? Is the biggest revenue day rehearsed at scale weeks before, with a person on standby during it, or is that "out of scope"?
- What do we keep? If the contract ends, do the tests, pipeline and evidence stay in a format your team can run tomorrow?
