Smoketest vs Momentic: a full suite, or a few tests that matter.
Momentic is an AI-native platform for building a broad, deep test suite your team owns in CI. Smoketest monitors a handful of critical tests, with nothing to maintain. Both author tests in natural language.
No suite to build, no CLI, no CI to wire up. Your first run in about two minutes.
Both author tests in words. The scope is the difference.
Momentic and Smoketest both turn natural-language steps into real-browser runs with self-healing locators. They part ways on how much you build and how much you own.
Scope
Momentic builds a broad suite: end-to-end, visual, API, and accessibility, across web and mobile. Smoketest watches three to five critical tests.
Where it lives
Momentic tests live in your repo as YAML and run in CI. Smoketest runs in the cloud with nothing to set up.
What you own
Momentic is a suite your engineering team builds and triages. Smoketest leaves nothing to maintain.
Who it's for
Momentic targets engineering teams investing in deep coverage. Smoketest targets small teams with no QA.
No selectors. No test file.

The whole story, not just a red X.
Every failed run hands you a recording, a transcript, the result, and the downloadable Playwright trace.
Jira or Linear starts the Test.
Keep the workflow where QA already works. Smoketest adds execution, evidence, and routing without becoming another board.
Connect Jira or Linear
A workspace owner authorizes Jira or Linear once. Smoketest keeps Connection identity, permissions, token health, and webhook health visible.
Define the QA handoff
Choose the team or board, exact QA status, direct Passed and Development statuses, then set the URL, Environment, device, and access settings.
Let the ticket start testing
When a ticket enters QA, Smoketest freezes current context, enriches it from an eligible ticket-linked pull request, generates one Test, and runs it automatically.
Return the Result safely
Smoketest posts evidence to one evolving Attempt comment. Passed moves forward, Failed returns to Development, and No Result stays in QA. Newer human changes always win.
Teams comparing us to Momentic ask these.
Both author tests in natural language with self-healing locators, so the difference isn't AI. It's scope. Momentic is a platform for building a broad suite your team owns in CI. Smoketest watches a few critical tests with nothing to maintain.
Smoketest is built to cover your money-path tests, not to be a full test platform. If you need deep coverage across end-to-end, visual, API, and mobile, owned by an engineering team, Momentic is built for that.
No. There's no suite, YAML, CLI, or CI to set up. You describe each test in a sentence and run it, and the agent handles the rest.
A recording, a step-by-step transcript, a pass or fail result with reasoning, and a downloadable Playwright trace.
About two minutes for the first test: paste a URL, describe the steps, run it once, then schedule it or fire it on each deploy.
Watch the tests that matter most.
Pick three tests you can't ship broken, describe each in a sentence, and run them in a real browser. No suite to build, nothing to maintain.
