Probara’s Pro plan costs $24 per user per month billed annually. TestRail’s yearly prices are $22 per user per month for Essentials, which stops at five users, $38 for Professional and $78 for Enterprise. Probara bills per user from the first seat, with no seat minimum and no packs, and on Pro, read-only viewers never take a seat, so they are free. The Free plan covers 3 users and 3 projects with no time limit, and every new organization starts with a 14-day Pro trial, with no credit card.
Yes. Export your cases from TestRail as XML or CSV and import the file into a Probara project: your test cases arrive with their suites and steps, with priority, type and status mapped. If you want Probara to bring over anything else from TestRail, ask for it with Send feedback in the profile menu in the app, or through the contact page before you sign up, and the team adds support for it.
Yes, with Jira Cloud on the Pro plan: create Jira issues from defects and failed results with their steps and evidence, keep status in sync both ways, link issues to the cases that cover them, and build coverage reports from them. TestRail’s Jira integration is on every plan.
Yes, on the Pro plan. Probara’s reporters for Playwright, Jest, Cypress and Vitest send results into a run with their attachments and create any case that does not exist yet, and any other framework sends JUnit XML through the open-source Probara CLI. From a run you can launch GitHub Actions workflows, and Probara posts one results comment on each pull request.
Yes, on every plan, Free included. Probara’s MCP server, with 270+ tools and operations, reached through up to 14 tools listed by default, lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients write cases, start runs and record results, with the same permissions as the person who connected them. Probara does not draft test cases on its own; TestRail includes its own AI features and its MCP server on every plan.
No. Probara has its own defects on every plan, Free included, linked to the results and cases where they were found. On Pro, PQL queries them alongside cases, runs and results, and defects also stay in sync with Jira Cloud and GitHub issues. TestRail records defects in an outside issue tracker.
