TestOptim AI vs SanityCheck

SanityCheck is the quickest way to check one flow: write a sentence and get a verdict with a video in under a minute. TestOptim AI is built for whole-app regression: it explores the app, generates a full suite and files every failure as an issue.

The short answer

Choose TestOptim AI if

  • You want coverage of the whole app without writing each test
  • You want failures tracked as issues with severity and Jira or Slack sync
  • You want scheduled runs and runs for changed areas
  • You want flat plans that include page exploration

Choose SanityCheck if

  • You want a free plan
  • You only need a few critical flows checked on each deploy
  • You want Vercel deploy triggers
  • You want a verdict on a single flow in seconds

How we compared them

Hands-on, 20 Oct 2026 · Partially tested

We signed up with Google and asked it, in one sentence, to log in to a public demo store, add an item and check the cart. It passed in 22 seconds (6 steps) with a video replay.

  • Sign-up to first verdict took about 2.5 minutes.
  • After the first free run, more runs on the demo site needed us to verify we own the domain, so we stopped there.

We ran the same scenario on TestOptim AI and each product we could access: a public demo store built for test-automation practice, its published demo account, a login, an add-to-cart check and a deliberately wrong assertion.
