Browserstack: Which subscription?

Hi guys,

I'm a bit confused about the BrowserStack plans.

I'm confused whether I should Chose the "live" plan or the "Screenshots & Responsive" plan, mainly for checking mobile stuff.

What do you use?

Thanks for your Feedback!

The screenshots plan takes shots of your page through different browsers. It's the fastest way to test if you only want to see what the page looks like.

The live plan lets you do mobile/desktop emulation, which lets you look at page functionality and you can refresh to look at page updates quickly if troubleshooting. It is much slower though if you just want to see whether a page looks OK on multiple devices, so to each its own.

Which one you should get depends on what exactly you want it for.

Also, you can get it free for a while if you haven't already - https://modern.ie/en-us/tools

You, Sir, basically just paid for 2 months worth of my STM membership!

You definitely also deserve one of those gold-plated statues of your balls that were referenced in one of Finch's threads

Thanks so much!

Unless you know how to use Selenium, then no.

Get the Screenshots (if you can - I know you can get Live as least) plan for free through modern.ie and focus on higher value tasks for now.
