QAShift vs Rainforest QA

Rainforest has managed elements but no single engineer who owns your suite. QAShift gives you a named forward-deployed engineer accountable for your morning report — and flat pricing instead of volume-based billing.

Where QAShift is different
A named, accountable engineer — not a rotating pool
Flat published pricing — never per-test or metered vs. volume-based pricing
You own the code — Playwright (web) + Maestro (mobile), in your repo, MIT core runner — tests in your CI, not vendor VMs
Predictions + honest flake vs. real-failure triage
