The fact that there are so many integrations and the simplicity of writing code should make you want to select WebdriverIO. However, the full-feature nature of this framework is what sets it apart.

Likelihood to Recommend	Using Browserling, I never had a bad surprise. this tool is responsive and always offers the latest versions for each browser. I particularly recommend live testing which allows you to directly test the site and generate a screenshot if you have detected a bug or an anomaly in your interface. PS: I will give it 10/10 when recording videos of browsing sessions will be ready. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	I haven't seen a use case that WDIO can't cover, even including integrations into performance/load testing and mobile! The fact that there are boilerplate projects and code examples galore make it so simple to understand and see real-world PoCs of concepts you need to understand. I highly recommend WDIO!

Pros	Generating screenshots of my website in most used browsers. Live test interact in browsers as if they were installed on my computer. Bookmark my favorite browsers to make testing faster next time. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Quick start when running the test, easy to maintain the framework. Faster and has vast community support on the internet. No need to Build an Automation framework from scratch. Can be integrated with different services.

Cons	Record videos of my browsing sessions (on their site they said this feature will be coming soon). Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Tasks written in this can only be debugged using the provided WDIO task runner We cannot set breakpoints within tasks but have WDIO pause the run between commands. It is not as customized as Protractor. It deviates from generic syntax which may confuse selenium developers having knowledge of other languages.
