I’m looking into mobile testing clouds for our team, but pricing seems really scattered depending on regions and device types. I want a clear global comparison so I can pick the most cost-effective option without compromising on coverage. Has anyone done this or seen a reliable resource?
LambdaTest has a very transparent pricing calculator. We listed all the devices and browsers we wanted, added the concurrency levels, and got an accurate estimate. It made budgeting much easier than comparing multiple platforms manually.
We reached out to LambdaTest sales with our projected test volumes. They provided a clear breakdown of costs by device type, region, and concurrency. Combining this with our own usage data gave us a realistic monthly budget.
A practical approach: create a simple Python script to simulate test execution costs. For example:
devices = [‘iPhone 14’, ‘Pixel 6’] tests_per_day = 50 cost_per_device_hour = 0.15 total_cost = len(devices) * tests_per_day * cost_per_device_hour print(f’Estimated weekly cost: ${total_cost*7}')
This helped us forecast expenses and plan for scaling.
