Why does it matter for agencies?
TesterArmy's $99 Hobby and $299 Startup tiers cap test-run costs at 250 and 1,000 runs respectively, so an agency can price continuous testing as a fixed monthly retainer without watching per-run costs erode margin. Because tests trigger on pull requests through GitHub Actions and GitLab CI and report into one table with Slack alerts, the agency's deliverable becomes a monitored client workflow rather than a one-off audit. The trade-off is brand: no white-label program is documented, so client-facing reports carry the TesterArmy name.
