Last updated 6 November 2026. How we check facts: editorial policy processes.
You may not need to switch at all. testRigor integrates with TestMu AI, so a team that likes authoring in testRigor can run those tests on our real devices and browsers today through the testRigor integration.
Move to KaneAI when you also want code export, plans you approve before a run, or inputs beyond text. Stay on testRigor when your suite leans on Windows desktop, email, SMS or phone-call checks. To try authoring before you buy, Kane CLI runs from your terminal or coding agent and comes with 10,000 credits for 30 days.
Disclosure: TestMu AI sells KaneAI and also hosts testRigor runs through the integration, so we gain whichever you choose. testRigor's claims are quoted from its website as of 4 November 2026. For a wider shortlist of tools, see the testRigor alternative page.
Keep testRigor and Add Devices, or Switch?
More Devices for testRigor Tests
Keep testRigor. Enable the TestMu AI integration with your username and access key to run on real devices and browsers.
Tests as Selenium or Playwright
Move to KaneAI. It exports Selenium, Playwright or Appium code that your engineers can extend.
Tests From Tickets, PDFs or Video
Move to KaneAI. Testers start from the Jira tickets, PDFs, screenshots, audio or video they already have.
Windows Desktop, Email, SMS, Calls
Stay on testRigor. It covers these channels in one suite, and KaneAI doesn't test desktop apps.
Public Tests on a Free Plan
Stay on testRigor. Its free-forever plan works when your tests and results can be public.
Plans Approved Before Each Run
Move to KaneAI. A person approves every drafted plan before any test runs.
Desktop, Email, SMS and Phone Tests: testRigor vs KaneAI
testRigor covers more channels than KaneAI. Its tests run on web, native and hybrid iOS and Android apps, native Windows desktop apps on paid plans, and API calls, plus email with attachments and deliverability checks, SMS and phone calls through Twilio, and 2FA by authenticator app, SMS or email. It also lists mainframe testing and testing of chatbots and AI output.
KaneAI covers web apps on 3,000+ browser and OS combinations and native apps and mobile web on 50,000+ real devices, plus API, database, network and accessibility steps and TOTP for 2FA. It doesn't test native Windows desktop apps, and email, SMS and phone-call steps aren't documented.

How testRigor and KaneAI Write Natural-Language Tests
testRigor describes its tests as "plain English" that testers write free-form. Its own example, "purchase a Kindle", expands into steps such as entering "Kindle" into "Search", and you refine them with testRigor's documented commands.
Existing manual test cases can be pasted or imported, and Claude Code can generate tests through testRigor's MCP and Skills. Its tests identify elements by what users see rather than by XPath, and testRigor claims "99.5% less test maintenance" than Selenium or Appium (vendor claim).
KaneAI starts one step earlier, from the artifact a tester already holds: a Jira ticket, a PRD as a PDF, a screenshot, an audio note or a video walkthrough. It proposes prioritized scenarios, and nothing runs until a person approves the plan.
Once approved, the test's steps run deterministically, in the order you approved them. When a button moves, Auto-Heal re-locates it during the run without changing the saved test; when an objective has to be rewritten, Adaptive Heal saves the rewrite as a new version that waits for your approval, as the KaneAI Auto-Heal docs describe.
Code Export and Exit Cost: testRigor vs KaneAI
testRigor's website doesn't describe exporting tests to Selenium, Playwright or other framework code. KaneAI exports Selenium, Playwright or Appium code, so if engineers want to extend a test or you change vendors, the test travels as code.
Exported or not, a KaneAI test runs on HyperExecute and the Real Device Cloud in the same TestMu AI account, with 100 HyperExecute minutes a month on Pro and 300 on Max.
