Hardening protects a mobile app once it's live — techniques like code obfuscation and anti-tamper controls that stop attackers from reverse-engineering the app or extracting sensitive data. It matters because the window to attack has collapsed: Digital.ai's 2026 Application Security Threat Report found 87% of monitored apps were attacked in 2026, with time to first attack under two hours of release. For regulated industries especially, hardening is shifting from a nice-to-have to a baseline expectation — and if your team isn't hardening yet, that's the gap attackers are counting on.

A workaround usually means maintaining a separate, unhardened build just to get test coverage — which also means what you're testing isn't what you're shipping. That gap is exactly where risk hides: bugs, regressions, or security issues that only show up in the hardened build never get caught before release. Digital.ai removes the workaround entirely by testing the exact build your customers run, so "passing tests" and "what's actually in production" are finally the same thing.

Digital.ai typically matches or beats what customers currently pay Perfecto, without the cost penalty that comes with scaling — adding devices or expanding coverage on Perfecto often means a steep price jump, while Digital.ai's pricing stays predictable as you grow. One financial services customer cut total cost of ownership by roughly 50% after migrating, while maintaining 16,000+ weekly test executions.

Yes. Digital.ai offers free, white-glove migration — a dedicated team handles the cutover at no cost to you. We don't ask teams to move everything at once: migrations typically start small, with one team or one app at a time, running in parallel with your existing setup for up to 60 days before anything fully cuts over. The goal is zero disruption to your release schedule, not a forced switch.

Yes. Digital.ai supports open-source frameworks like Appium, Playwright, Cypress, and Flutter, allowing teams to use the tools they already rely on. This approach provides flexibility and avoids being tied to proprietary frameworks as testing needs evolve.

Yes. Digital.ai supports SaaS, hybrid, and fully air-gapped on-prem deployments. For SaaS, teams can access global data centers, including Switzerland and Singapore (Asia) to meet data residency requirements and reduce latency, while maintaining secure access to internal environments.

Most teams get up and running quickly with guided onboarding and hands-on support. From day zero, we work with you to configure devices, integrate with your environments, and start executing tests, so you can begin seeing value immediately.
