Choose Your Level of Confidence
The traditional quality assurance model is broken. When you pay an outsourcing vendor by the hour to write test scripts, you are directly incentivizing inefficiency. They want to bill more hours; you want to ship faster. It’s a fundamental misalignment that results in bloated test suites, flaky automation, and an engineering team bottlenecked by the very people supposed to protect them.
To fix this, we need to abandon the hourly vendor model. OutpostQA offers QA-as-a-Service subscriptions designed to align our financial incentives with your engineering velocity. Whether you need raw talent to augment your existing processes or a fully managed QA Pod that owns quality from PR to Production, you stop renting hours and start subscribing to outcomes.
Here is the uncomfortable truth: you don’t need a higher volume of tests; you need a higher degree of confidence.
OutpostQA Tiers FAQs
Why do you charge a Platform Fee instead of just an hourly rate?
Because management, strategy, and reporting take time. Burying those critical functions into an inflated hourly rate for a junior tester is a dishonest industry practice. We split the Platform Fee from the Seat Licenses so you—and your CFO—know exactly what you are paying for execution versus strategy and oversight.
What if I just want one manual tester to start?
We highly recommend our Tier 0 (Team Extension) for this exact scenario. It allows you to leverage our Top 1% vetting and HR shielding on a pure Per-Seat basis, without the strategic overhead of a managed Pod.
Can we upgrade from Tier 1 to Tier 2 mid-contract?
Absolutely. Our QA-as-a-Service subscriptions are designed to scale with you. As your codebase stabilizes under Tier 1 and your release cadence demands automation, we can seamlessly upgrade your Pod to Tier 2 to integrate CI/CD capabilities.
Do you test physical device integrations or just web apps?
Under our Tier 3 Enterprise offering, our scope includes inclusive user experience testing. This encompasses not just digital UI constraints (like screen readers), but also physical and haptic interactions on mobile devices to ensure complete A11y compliance.
