Pay for the loop you actually run
Most small teams use a fraction of an enterprise TMS: write cases, group them into a plan, execute against a build, read the report. That loop is all of Vektify — built to be fast, honest about pass rates, and cheap enough that a freelancer can expense it without thinking.
A five-person team on typical enterprise TMS pricing spends roughly $2,100–2,400 a year. The same five seats on Vektify cost about $600 — and your clients watch results live on free guest accounts instead of waiting for an exported PDF.
