Yes. ShipCheck is completely free with no signup, no watermarks, and no credit card required.

How is this different from TesterArmy or Playwright?

ShipCheck is a free, no-login tool for quick browser checks and visual diffs. Describe tests in plain English, get screenshots and reports instantly. Playwright is a framework you code against; ShipCheck handles the browser run for you.

Do I need to write code?

No. Write instructions in plain English like 'Click Get started' or 'Verify page contains Pricing'. ShipCheck converts them into browser actions automatically.

Are my tests stored on a server?

No. Test runs are ephemeral — results are returned to your browser and never permanently stored. Image uploads for visual diff are processed in-browser.

Can I compare screenshots too?

Yes. ShipCheck also includes a pixel-perfect visual diff tool — upload two images or paste two URLs to detect UI changes.

Yes. Notes on smoke tests and visual diffs are published at /blog on Tuesday and Thursday at 09:00 IST. A post stays unavailable until that time. The feed is /blog/feed.xml.

What sites can I test?

Any public HTTP/HTTPS website. In production, private IPs and localhost are blocked for security. When running ShipCheck locally (npm run dev), localhost URLs are allowed so you can test apps on your machine.

Shareable test reports without accounts

Ephemeral share links, JSON export, and why bug reports should travel light.

Bug reports die in screenshots buried in Slack threads. A shareable ShipCheck report gives steps, console noise, network rows, and a pass/fail verdict in one URL — no account required for the reader.

Keep retention short, export JSON when you need an archive, and link the report from the PR or ticket. That is enough process for most indie and small-team deploys.
