## Why should you choose BugBug over TestSigma? REASON #1 ### Truly codeless from start to finish Unlike TestSigma, which requires scripting for advanced cases, BugBug stays completely codeless with a **visual editor built for speed** and simplicity. ![BugBug Test Recorder](https://bugbug.io/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbugbug-homepage.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbugbug_screenshot_tests_create_record_2_f293ffbb75_aac870ca81.webp&w=1280&q=85) REASON #2 ### No setup, no dependencies, no fluff TestSigma's cloud-only approach limits local debugging. BugBug runs directly in your browser with **no setup, no installations**, and full offline support for faster workflows. ![BugBug Test recorder](https://bugbug.io/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbugbug-homepage.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com%2FBB_test_recoder_0d1d748462.png&w=2560&q=85) REASON #3 ### Lower costs, transparent pricing TestSigma’s pricing isn’t public and can get expensive fast. BugBug offers a **generous free plan** with simple pricing and no hidden costs. ![BugBug Team invite feature](https://bugbug.io/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbugbug-homepage.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com%2FFrame_5_2_77a74d7354.png&w=1366&q=85) ![quote mark](https://bugbug.io/_next/image/?url=%2Fassets%2Fquote-mark.png&w=256&q=85) ![](https://bugbug.io/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbugbug-homepage.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com%2FAuthors_7_fbd4dcf782.png&w=2560&q=85) BugBug has allowed us to implement automated tests in a number of areas of our product, **saving time and effort for the QA team** and allowing us to have a base set of tests that can be run at any time.
