Playwright vs TestSprite

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 TestSprite if you're on a aI-native team who will stay on $0, then $19 Starter. Skip TestSprite if you're people who want to own every selector in git (Playwright).
