What SmartUI is
SmartUI is a visual testing tool that captures application screenshots and checks them against baselines to find visual regressions across browsers, devices, apps, and PDFs. Its Visual AI filters rendering noise and explains notable changes, while Smart Ignore can mask changing regions and tell layout shifts apart from other visual differences. Root Cause Analysis connects screenshot diffs with code changes and suggests fixes. The page lists support for Selenium, Playwright, Puppeteer, Cypress, Appium, Espresso, XCUITest, and Jest, plus testing coverage across 3,000+ browser combinations and 10,000+ real devices. It can compare Figma designs with live interfaces and inspect PDFs for text, layout, font, and graphic changes. Branch-aware baselines work across branches and CI/CD pipelines; diffs and suggestions can be exported to Jira or Slack, and GitHub and GitLab integrations are listed. The free plan is free and has 2,000 lifetime screenshots and one month of build history. Paid visual regression is $199 a month, billed annually.
