pricing and terms for advanced procurement, security or support needs
Tricentis publishes no price for qTest: every plan is quoted by sales. Probara publishes its prices: Pro costs $24 per user per month billed annually per user per month billed annually, with no seat minimum and no packs, so you pay per user from the first seat. On Pro, read-only viewers are free and never take a seat, and the Free plan covers 3 users with no time limit.
Can we move our test cases from qTest to Probara?
Yes. Probara imports test cases from CSV and XLSX files laid out in its import template, with their suites and steps, so a spreadsheet of your qTest test cases moves them today: arrange the columns to match the template described in the CSV import guide and import the file into a project. If you would rather have Probara read qTest’s export directly, or bring over anything else, ask for it with Send feedback in your profile menu in the app, or through the contact page before you sign up, and the team adds support for it.
Does Probara work with Jira?
Yes, with Jira Cloud on the Pro plan: create Jira issues from defects and failed results with their steps and evidence, keep their status in sync both ways, link issues to the test cases that cover them, and build coverage reports from them.
Do we need an automation host to send CI results to Probara?
No. On Pro, Probara’s reporters for Playwright, Jest, Cypress and Vitest go in your test config and send each CI run into a test run with its attachments, creating the cases the report names that do not exist yet. JUnit XML from any other framework goes in through the open-source Probara CLI, and on GitHub you can launch Actions workflows from a run and get one results comment on each pull request. qTest takes automation results through qTest Launch, with the Universal Agent running on an automation host.
Can AI agents work in Probara?
Yes. Probara’s MCP server, with 270+ tools and operations, reached through up to 14 tools listed by default, is included on every plan, Free included, and documented for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Claude Code. Agents work with the same permissions as the person who connected them. qTest also has an MCP server, for its SaaS edition and accounts with MCP access, and adds its own AI test creation, which Probara does not have.
Can we try Probara without talking to sales?
Yes. You sign up on your own, and every new organization starts with a 14-day Pro trial with no credit card. After it, the Free plan keeps 3 users working with no time limit, and paid plans add users one at a time. qTest offers a 14-day trial, and buying it goes through Tricentis sales.
