Katalon is an AI testing platform for QA teams that brings authoring, test management, execution and production insight into one place. Katalon Studio creates web, mobile, API and desktop tests in no-code, low-code or full-code styles. TestOps handles manual testing and acts as the system of record, TestCloud runs suites in parallel on real browsers and devices, and TrueTest shows how real users move through a product. Katalon AI generates cases from requirements, heals locators when an app changes and summarizes release readiness. Studio's Professional plan costs $1,000 per seat per year on a first-purchase offer, with Enterprise on custom annual contracts.
Katalon is built for mixed-skill quality teams, so manual testers, automation engineers and developers share one environment. Small automation teams and individuals can start with Studio's Professional plan, while larger organizations in banking, retail, telecom, healthcare, insurance and government can use the enterprise tier with central controls and security. Testers who like writing scripts in Playwright can run their existing suites at scale in the cloud. The company says more than 30,000 quality teams use it and reports a 4.4 rating on G2.
Typical scenarios include building regression suites for a web app, testing Android and iOS releases on real devices, and validating APIs next to the UI in the same project. Manual testers plan cycles in TestOps, attach screenshots and logs to failed steps, and raise linked defects in Jira. Teams run suites on TestCloud or their own CI runners, and the Katalon MCP server lets a coding agent drive Studio directly. Production insights from TrueTest point to coverage gaps, and Katalon Academy offers over 50 free courses with certifications.
