The AI platform for software quality

Reviewed by the the30top research team · Last reviewed 2026-10-27

Overview

Katalon brings Studio, TestOps, TestCloud and TrueTest into one platform for manual, automated and AI-generated tests across web, mobile, API and desktop. Its AI agent drafts and explains tests in plain language, supports self-healing, and lets teams bring their own coding agent or AI service such as OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Gemini or Claude on Bedrock. The Free plan caps static test suites at 40, Professional is listed at $1,000 per seat per year, and Enterprise is custom. Cloud execution sessions are allotted by plan, so large parallel suites can push you to higher tiers.
