Excellent Browser Testing Tool! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 15, 2021 **What do you like best about BitBar?** Easy to use. Supports TONS of browsers. Record & Play is an excellent resource! **What do you dislike about BitBar?** There is nothing I dislike about this tool. A huge support tool for us. **What problems is BitBar solving and how is that benefiting you?** Site updates for multiple clients are easy to text for cross browser compatiblity. ### 3. Excellent Tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 26, 2021 **What do you like best about BitBar?** Ease of use. Great sales and support staff. Mobile device testing. Time savings. **What do you dislike about BitBar?** At this current time, nothing. Their pricing plans are confusing. They could use a middle plan level. **What problems is BitBar solving and how is that benefiting you?** Testing fully on various devices, browsers, and OS combinations that don't require a dedicated person to complete. The time savings and reporting features. ### 4. Buggy, unhelpful support, and frustating sales interactions **Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Thomas D. | Associate Director Of Development, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 07, 2020 **What do you like best about BitBar?** The breadth of systems and devices available. **What do you dislike about BitBar?** We've run into a lot of issues over the past couple of years and our interactions with support have always been hit-or-miss: It was hard to get clear answers, or to find the right people (with the right level of technical knowledge) to talk to. Sales were really aggressive, last Fall, and we spent a lot of time trying to get clarity on a possible EDU discount. We were invited to sign contracts before having all the answers we needed. It felt a lot like a bad car dealership experience. We were excited about the Record and Replay feature, though. It was a reason why we upgraded in 2019. This year, when it was time for us to renew our plan, we got into the same confusing and frustrating conversations with sales. The rate they quoted us was $250 more than the renewal rate listed on our dashboard. We didn't get any explanation for the discrepancy and were asked to pay the highest rate. Nope. We'll take our business elsewhere. **What problems is BitBar solving and how is that benefiting you?** Automating testing across devices and Os. ### 5. CBT is a great tool at a good price **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kyle H. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 12, 2020 **What do you like best about BitBar?** While there are free versions of browser testing app out there, using CBT is far more thorough and much more efficient. The cost of CBT is easily paid back in saved hours of work. The overview dashboard is quick and to the point. **What do you dislike about BitBar?** While there are a lot of options to your tool (which is great and sets CBT apart from the rest), keep working on the UX, especially for novices (have a novice mode vs. expert mode, like GoogleAds does). **What problems is BitBar solving and how is that benefiting you?** The various options to review the browser status, information are well organized. The automation tools are the most valuable though, let's us run the testing every night, we get to simply review the results at will to see if anything has changed. The onboarding process was great, very quick and easy to follow live tutorial. ### 6. Great Tool To Test Your Website Over Many Browsers and Devices **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jake M. | E-Commerce Director, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 07, 2020 **What do you like best about BitBar?** I like the ease of testing our site over all the different browsers and devices. It is simple to use and the automation capabilities are outstanding if you are limited on time. **What do you dislike about BitBar?** I have found nothing I dislike of the service so far. **Recommendations to others considering BitBar:** This company is amazing to partner with and will help you in testing your website over every major browser and device. It is a time saver for any e-commerce company to make sure that all your customers can have the best purchasing experience they can while on your website. **What problems is BitBar solving and how is that benefiting you?** We can now easily find bugs or issues that only appear on certain browsers and devices without tracking down devices and installing all the different browser versions, if our customers call in and report issues with our website. We can now ask what device and browser they are using and then run the test and see if we can replicate the issue. ### 7. Awesome experience to the cross browsers testing module from g2 **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 02, 2021 **What do you like best about BitBar?** UI interfenece to the users user interface design is the best and liked in this module **What do you dislike about BitBar?** Speed can be increased slightly to deliver the pages **Recommendations to others considering BitBar:** Yes **What problems is BitBar solving and how is that benefiting you?** Can increase speed and UI ### 8. Really sucks! **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Electronics | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2020 **What do you like best about BitBar?** I prefer other tools compared to CrossBrowserTesting. **What do you dislike about BitBar?** The free trial is such a great 'gotcha'. It's supposedly a 7 day free trial -- But then when you sign up, you realize it's only available on iPad Mini and Galaxy Tab. Of course along with a message that says "Upgrade Today To Enjoy All Devices" blah blah blah. Okay, you got me. I now totally want to signup. I feel such a great sense of trust and appreciation towards your platform. I don't feel misled at all. And I trust that your support service and customer service must be of equal quality to this initial experience. **What problems is BitBar solving and how is that benefiting you?** Crossbrowser testing on iOS and Android devices. ### 9. Good bang for the buck **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chris H. | Quality Assurance Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 28, 2020 **What do you like best about BitBar?** I like the many OS/Browser combinations and the ability to run headless browser testing (CBT gives you double threads when running headless and the tests run MUCH faster). I think with CBT you get a lot for your money when comparing to other comparable services. **What do you dislike about BitBar?** I've seen a few times where the UI will change/break. Luckily I reached out and the CBT team fixed within an hour, so that was nice at least. I've also had my automated tests start randomly failing because a specific browser version is no longer supported (they changed support from Chrome 78 to Chrome 79). I would like to see the added capability of being able to upload and download files (my testing downloads PDF generated by our website and it is impossible to execute validation against them as they are stuck on the CBT VM). **Recommendations to others considering BitBar:** I would start here if you are looking at these types of services. It has most of the important features, but has a more competitive price point. **What problems is BitBar solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are able to get our entire automated regression executed (with video recordings) in about 1/3 the time and not have to support a local infrastructure. Our previous local execution took around 12 hours, but now completes in 4. We can also very easily add more threads to make the tests run faster. ### 10. CrossBrowserTesting is LEGIT! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tim M. | Web Designer, Marketing Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 09, 2020 **What do you like best about BitBar?** My favorite part about CBT is the amount of available testing resources. I am able to complete my tests across a large array of browsers and devices. This to me, as a developer and designer, is key to helping my projects become successful! **What do you dislike about BitBar?** I have found nothing I dislike about CBT at this point. A+ all around! **Recommendations to others considering BitBar:** Don't look any further - CrossBrowserTesting is what you need. **What problems is BitBar solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am solving a large array of responsive fixes throughout my web projects as well as cross browser compatibility. This helps my companies website excel and not fall short on any platform, browser or device. ## BitBar Discussions - [What is BitBar used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-bitbar-used-for) - [How do you automate cross browser testing?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/how-do-you-automate-cross-browser-testing) - [Which tests should be picked up immediately for automation?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/which-tests-should-be-picked-up-immediately-for-automation) - [Can we use headless browser in crossbrowser testing True False?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/can-we-use-headless-browser-in-crossbrowser-testing-true-false) - [What is CrossBrowserTesting?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-crossbrowsertesting) - [View BitBar pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/bitbar/reviews/bitbar-review-4184986?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-27+17%3A34%3A48+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=cc2e41e4-5576-4503-ad63-38fd8d02bcb1&secure%5Btoken%5D=13368f21caa099a693d542f9e6b009483fcf9640bb1d85496f16c8a03dedd87a&format=llm_user) ## BitBar Features **Functionality ** - Test Feedback - Test History - Customization - Test Variety **Automation** - Organization - Reliability - Thoroughness **Agentic AI - Automation Testing** - Autonomous Task Execution - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance ## Top BitBar Alternatives - [Sauce Labs](https://www.g2.com/products/sauce-labs/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (166 reviews) - [BrowserStack](https://www.g2.com/products/browserstack/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (3,266 reviews) - [UiPath Agentic Automation](https://www.g2.com/products/uipath-agentic-automation/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (6,099 reviews)
