Moving from another tool? We’ll set it up with you →FAQ
Questions,
answered.
The things teams ask before they move their browser tests to DevHelm.
Still deciding?
We’ll move your first journeys over with you, and answer the rest on a call.
Yes, if you want signup, login, checkout or your API covered in production, with or without existing Playwright tests. It isn’t real user monitoring: for performance data from real visitors, pair it with a RUM tool.
Yes. Upload a test with its helper files, up to 256 files and 10 MB, and it runs on Playwright 1.62.1 in Chromium. Other npm packages aren’t supported yet.
Yes. Point the same uploaded spec at two environments, each with its own variables and secrets.
Store them as secrets on an environment. They reach your test as environment variables, are encrypted at rest and are masked in logs.
One execution in one region. A check running in 3 regions uses 3 runs, and retries count too. Runs that fail because of our infrastructure don’t count.
Paid plans keep running: extra browser checks are $3.00 per 1,000 and extra API checks are $0.30 per 1,000. Free stays at the included grant until the next billing period or an upgrade.
us-east, us-west, eu-west and ap-south, in parallel, each run in an isolated sandbox. Private locations inside your network are coming soon.
Yes, with a Testing plan. Your test creates a DevHelm inbox or webhook URL, waits for the message or request, and checks it.
Screenshots and logs for 14 days. Run history for 90 days.
When a check fails, it reads the run, your recent changes and your vendors’ status, and tells you whether your code, a vendor or the test broke. It runs on Claude Code, Codex or Cursor. We set it up with a limited number of founding teams — it is not self-serve.
Yes, through the REST API today. YAML, Terraform and CLI support for synthetics are coming soon.
