Why pay once
A single payment you can plan for, software that keeps working after the year of updates, and files that stay in formats other programs can open. That is the whole business model.
Services
Test automation set-up, CI pipelines and a fractional QA lead for small software teams, from the people who build RiverProbe. Offers, rates and how to start are on our Canadian site.
How we build
A licence is a one-time purchase. The version you bought keeps working forever; updates for a year are included.
Our tools run locally. Projects, recordings, files and secrets never leave your computer unless you share them yourself.
Original code and artwork, permissive open-source components only, and a full list of third-party notices with every release.
No analytics inside the apps, no accounts to create, no tracking cookies on our websites.
