BearQ Pricing

Flexible plans tailored to your QA workload

SmartBear BearQ™ is consumption-based, so you're not paying by seat or choosing between feature tiers. Your plan is custom-built around how much QA work you want BearQ agents to deliver and is informed by your trial experience.

The methodology

Your usage determines your plan.

BearQ’s pricing is based on agent compute units (ACUs). More intensive agent work consumes more ACUs, while routine test execution uses fewer.

Questions

Frequently asked questions about BearQ pricing

Pricing

BearQ uses consumption-based pricing. You pay for the amount of agentic QA work BearQ performs – driven by your application scope, testing activity, and QA workload – not by seat or feature tier.

No. Every BearQ customer gets access to the same core capabilities. Your plan is based on how much QA work you assign BearQ, not which features you unlock.

Yes. Unused ACUs roll over for the life of your contract, giving you flexibility to use more during busy periods and less during quieter ones.

Usage

An agent compute unit, or ACU, is how BearQ measures agent activity. Different types of work consume different numbers of ACUs depending on the level of compute required.

Yes. Your BearQ usage can flex as your applications, release cadence, and QA workload change. You can adjust how much work you authorize BearQ to perform.

Your trial gives you real usage data to work from. We’ll use that, along with your application scope and expected QA workload, to help size a plan that fits your team.

Trial

Connect with our team to get started. We’ll learn about your application and testing needs, then set up a seven-day trial built around them – so you see how BearQ works on the app you actually ship.

Your seven-day trial helps establish how your team is likely to use BearQ. From there, we’ll work with you to determine the right number of ACUs for your expected workload and coverage needs.

Yes. You can start with a focused use case or workload and expand your BearQ usage as your needs grow.
