We provide real browsers in the cloud across the globe for high responsiveness!

http://crossbrowsertesting.com/ is an alternative that has proven very good and cost effective for me.

This does appear to be cheaper though. The local testing thing may be cool. Not sure how that will work.

By the way, just realized you are based out of India. Great job! Very happy to see a quality web product that is made in India. Who did your design? Love it!

I thought this was going to be another cross-browsing testing thing that wouldn't work for me, but the local access is a really good idea. It really does change everything.

If you're looking for a service that's live, I've been using http://crossbrowsertesting.com/ happily for the last two or three years.

Also, if you're testing emails in different clients (worse than IE6 compatibility testing IMHO), I highly recommend http://litmus.com/

I think it's too pricey. But maybe it's just me.

we are trying to keep our prices as low as possible. We want to reach every developer/designer!

I think your prepaid plan should appeal to many small sites that anticipate only small changes over time. It's really a sweet spot in my mind.
