First published · Facts checked · Updated
Choose smolanalytics if you want one-sentence tests on every pull request, replayed recordings with no model call, and tracking instrumentation kept correct beside PostHog, GA4 or similar. Choose Sybqa if you want a reviewed plan and a published-site evidence report without writing sentences or running on your own CI runner. We have not run smolanalytics.
smolanalytics turns an English sentence into an end-to-end browser check, records a passing run so later replays need no model call, and comments on pull requests from your own Actions runner. It also maintains analytics tracking calls in SDKs you already use. Sybqa starts from a link and a plan you review and returns an evidence report; it does not install into your CI as a sentence suite. We make Sybqa, so weigh this page accordingly.

| Point | Sybqa | smolanalytics |
|---|---|---|
| Core job | Explores approved journeys for bugs, UI inconsistencies and UX flow issues using manual-testing techniques and real browser checks | End-to-end tests from one English sentence; optional analytics tracking maintenance |
| Where you start | A link and an optional goal. You review the plan before anything runs | npx smolanalytics test --url … --test "…", a markdown suite, or MCP in the editor |
| What you get back | An evidence report (HTML, JSON and JUnit) with available screenshots and recorded steps; blocked and not-run checks are listed, never counted as passed | Verdicts: passed, failed, flaky, stale or errored; PR comments; recordings that replay without a model |
| Public pricing | A free plan after signup (10 runs a month, no AI review) and a paid plan with AI credits | One plan: $19/mo for 100 tested pull requests, then 10¢ each; 14-day trial, no card. Repo audit free with no account |
| How usage is counted | Runs without AI review use no credits; AI review uses the plan’s credits | Test runs use your CI runner and your Anthropic key (not metered by smolanalytics); the product meters tested pull requests |
| Pipelines | Start a saved plan from GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Bitbucket Pipelines, CircleCI or any CI with an API token (guide) | Runs on your GitHub Actions runner with GITHUB_TOKEN comments; no GitHub App required |
