Playwright vs testRigor

Our take

Pick Playwright if you're on a team who will stay on the OSS runner at $0 while they open a first Trace Viewer — then add their own CI, not Cypress Cloud Team $67 first unless they want Cypress’s hosted dashboard. Pick testRigor if you're oSS / demo sites that can live with public tests at $0. Skip testRigor if you're private apps that need a published private seat (Momentic Free $0 with private credits).
