The Octomind alternative for Playwright teams
Octomind discontinued its AI testing product in May 2026, and octomind.dev is now offline. Teams that relied on its Playwright test generation need a new home for their suites. Wopee.io is an alternative on the same browser engine: AI agents explore your app, write test cases in plain language, and run them in a real browser. Keep any Playwright code you exported from Octomind; it runs without any vendor.
What happens to your tests when your vendor shuts down?
In May 2026, Octomind, a Playwright-based AI testing company from Karlsruhe, Germany, published a farewell letter and turned its product off. As of July 2026, octomind.dev no longer resolves. Teams whose tests lived inside the platform lost their testing system with it.
That is the real lesson: before you depend on a testing vendor, check what you keep if it disappears. With Wopee.io you keep readable test cases, downloadable as JSON, and Playwright code for passing tests, whose visual checks use the Wopee.io SDK. Running the agent is a Wopee.io service, just as Octomind's platform was.

Migrating from Octomind in three steps
Secure your exported Playwright tests
Octomind generated Playwright test code. If you exported it before the shutdown, keep it, plain Playwright runs without any vendor. You can add Wopee.io visual validation to those tests with the Playwright SDK.
Point Wopee.io at your app
The agent crawls your application, builds an app context, and generates user stories and test cases. Every artifact is reviewable and editable before anything runs.
Run and review the suite
Wopee.io's agent runs your test cases on a schedule, on demand, or from your AI coding agent via MCP, and you approve visual baselines as you go. Passing tests can also be generated as Playwright code.
Transparent EU pricing, again
Octomind's last published pricing (March 2026) ran from $89 to $589 per month, capped by test cases, cloud runs, and AI test creations, with Enterprise behind a sales call.
Wopee.io keeps the part Octomind got right (pricing on the page) and prices in EUR: start free, Starter 19 €, Basic 79 €, Premium 179 € per user per month, Enterprise custom with on-premise deployment.
Octomind alternative: frequently asked questions
No. Octomind discontinued its AI testing product in May 2026, and the octomind.dev website is offline as of August 2026. In its farewell letter, the team said it did not find the market validation needed to keep going.
No. octomind.run is an unrelated open-source agent runtime by a different company that reuses the name. The Octomind AI testing product lived at octomind.dev, was discontinued in May 2026, and its domain no longer resolves.
Yes, if you exported them before the shutdown. Octomind generated Playwright test code, and plain Playwright keeps running without any vendor. Wopee.io can add visual validation to those tests through its Playwright SDK and regenerate fresh coverage from your app.
Point Wopee.io at your app's URL. The agent crawls it, builds an app context, and generates user stories and test cases, each artifact reviewable and editable. The agent then runs the suite on a schedule or on demand, and passing tests can also be generated as Playwright code.
Your test cases, which are plain-language files in a Git repository your team can access and can be downloaded as JSON. Passing tests can also be generated as Playwright code, but its visual checks use the Wopee.io SDK and would need editing to run on their own. Running tests with the AI agent is a Wopee.io service.
