TestSnag vs Currents

The Currents alternative for teams who would rather not maintain test code.

Currents is a dashboard and orchestrator for Playwright, Cypress and other suites you run in your own CI. TestSnag builds the tests from plain language, runs them in hosted browsers, and covers API, SEO and native mobile in one workspace.

[ 02 ] Switching

Spend less time keeping tests alive.

Cover the flows that matter without a test codebase, CI shards or flaky retries to babysit.

  1. 1

    Describe or record your flows

    Write steps in plain language, record them in a hosted browser or the Chrome extension, and import API requests from Postman, Swagger or cURL.

  2. 2

    Trigger runs from CI

    Paste the trigger URL into GitHub Actions, GitLab, Bitbucket or CircleCI, pick the environment, and every deploy starts a run.

  3. 3

    Act on failures

    Get Slack or email alerts, have issues opened and closed in your tracker automatically, and track flakiness per test and environment.

FAQ

Switching from Currents, answered.

What teams ask before moving from Currents.

Contact support

No. Currents collects and orchestrates results from test code you write and run in your own CI. TestSnag builds the tests, runs them in hosted browsers, and reports on them, so there is no suite to shard or CI machines to manage.

Yes. Many teams keep code tests for low-level checks and use TestSnag for end-to-end flows, API checks, SEO and mobile. TestSnag does not import Playwright or Cypress code, so you describe or record those flows once.

Yes. TestSnag has a free plan with cloud runs every month. Currents offers a 14-day trial and paid plans after that.

Yes, on the Advance plan. Analytics shows pass rate, duration and flakiness for every test, split by environment, so a test that only fails on staging shows up as a staging problem.

Test everything your users touch.

Describe your key flows once and let TestSnag run them on every deploy and on a schedule.
