About
Chromatic is a frontend UI testing and review platform for teams that runs visual, interaction, and accessibility checks in real browsers. It integrates with Storybook, Playwright, and Cypress, and compares snapshots across browsers and viewports to detect regressions before changes ship.
The product is used for UI testing, review sign-off, and publishing shared component context. The free plan includes 5,000 snapshots per month, Chrome testing, unlimited projects and users, unlimited collaborators, Git and CI integrations, and UI version tracking.
- 5,000 snapshots per month
- Chrome browser testing
- Unlimited projects and users
- Unlimited collaborators
- Git and CI integrations

Free Tier Value
Starter is $179/month and the free tier gives a genuinely usable slice of the product: 5,000 snapshots, Chrome testing, unlimited projects/users/collaborators, Git/CI integrations, and UI version tracking. On the main quota, 5,000 is about 14% of Starter’s 35,000 snapshots; taking that practical coverage together with the core workflow features, the free tier lands around 15% of Starter, or roughly $26/month (well below the paid plan and with no credit-card friction).
