About
Sherlo is a visual regression testing tool for React Native. It screenshots Storybook stories on iOS and Android simulators in the cloud, compares each run against the last approved version, and presents visual diffs for review before changes are shipped.
The service is aimed at React Native teams that want pixel-level UI checks without driving the app through end-to-end flows. The free plan includes 1,000 snapshots, iOS and Android support, a visual testing cloud, a low-priority queue, a review app, a code inspector, unlimited projects, unlimited users, Figma integration, and Slack integration.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is perpetual and no credit card is required, which lowers friction, but it is still capped at 1,000 snapshots a month. Compared with the $179 Starter plan’s 35,000 snapshots, that’s about 3% of the quota, so a practical buyer would value it at roughly $5/month for a small team getting the core workflow plus the free-plan extras.
