So why choose TestingBot over providers like [Sauce Labs](https://testingbot.com/saucelabs-alternative), [BrowserStack](https://testingbot.com/browserstack-alternative) or LambdaTest? Since 2011, TestingBot has been building, operating, and optimizing large-scale browser and device grids. We obsess over two things: **security** and **performance**. Here are a few ways we’re different: - **Every test runs on its own fresh virtual machine.** We provide single-use machines. No one used it before you, no one will use it after you. Each VM is firewall, isolated and destroyed at the end of the run. Some providers reuse VMs and "clean" them, which can leave residual state or cause test flakiness. - **Hosted in Europe.** All infrastructure runs in the EU for lower latency in Europe and straightforward data residency. - **Secure by design during testing.** Every machine is locked down so it can't reach other VMs. Our secure tunnel for testing internal apps spins up a dedicated, one-off VM per customer session, no multiplexing across customers. - **Fair billing.** You pay only for active test time—not for queueing or VM spin-up—so you can run more tests for less. - **Own hardware, faster grid.** We run our virtual machines on our own data center infrastructure. By not relying on public clouds, we control performance, capacity and isolation without competing for shared resources. - **Simple licensing.** No per-user, sub-account or "extra license" fees. A plan with 4 concurrent VMs lets you run 4 tests in parallel, with unlimited queued jobs. ### Sidebar #### TestingBot Cloud Testing Run automated, manual and visual tests on remote browsers and devices.
