The cost comparison

Senior-level output, for less than one senior hire.

One senior QA automation engineer in Canada costs about $110K a year once benefits and overhead are added. Every PathProof package costs less, starts in days, and comes with 13 years of judgment built in.

Hiring in-house
$110K+ / year loaded
  • About $9K a month, before recruiting fees
  • 8–12 weeks to hire, then weeks to ramp
  • One person's skill set, one person's bandwidth
  • Tooling, management and turnover risk on you
vs
PathProof QA Sprint
$4.5–7.5K / fixed, 2 weeks

  • You keep the suite, the docs and the pipeline

FAQ

Straight answers.

Yes, openly. Agentic AI drafts test cases and automation code, which is why we can deliver in days instead of months. A senior QA lead with 13 years of experience reviews every output before you see it. AI gives us speed; the human review is what you're paying for.

That's what Regression Rescue is for. We audit what's broken, flaky and dead, stabilize what can be saved, rebuild what can't, and leave you with a health report your whole team can read. Most teams are embarrassed by their suite. We've seen worse.

Your developers. We report bugs with clean reproduction steps, severity and suggested priority so fixes are fast. We don't change your application code, and release decisions stay with you.

Access to a staging environment, a test account or two, read access to your repo and CI, and someone who can answer questions within a day. If you have requirements or docs, great. If you don't, we work from the product itself.

We never put production data into AI tools. We test with synthetic data, and we provide a written AI and data handling statement before any engagement starts. Everything we deliver, including tests, scripts and the pipeline, belongs to you.

Hourly billing rewards slow work. Fixed pricing means you buy an outcome: a scope we agreed on, delivered on a date we agreed on. If we finish faster, that's our margin, not your bill.
