In-depth: Agent Design Check vs Testlio
Testlio runs crowdsourced testing for large brands at global scale. We run recorded, accountable QA for teams that don't need a crowd. Here is the split.
Choose Testlio if you ship to many countries, devices, and payment methods and need a vetted crowd, localization coverage, and an ISO 27001-certified enterprise partner. Choose Agent Design Check if you are a small team that wants the same accountability — recorded sessions, tracked coverage, evidence with every finding — from one named person, without enterprise procurement or enterprise pricing.
Who each is for
Choose Testlio if…
- You need testing in 100+ languages and 150+ countries on real local devices
- Localization, payments, and device-matrix breadth are your main risks
- You have enterprise procurement and want ISO 27001 on the vendor
- You want a platform that orchestrates hundreds of testers per cycle
Choose Agent Design Check if…
- You are a team of 3–30 and a crowd would be overkill
- You want one named QA owner who learns your product and stays
- You want design-level review alongside functional testing
- You want month-to-month with no consumption fund to manage
- You want findings written for coding agents as well as humans

Frequently asked questions
Is Agent Design Check crowdtesting?
No. A crowd gives you breadth: many people, devices, and countries per cycle. We give you depth and continuity: the same QA owner running recorded sessions on your product release after release, with checklists that remember what was covered.
Does "accountable" mean the same thing for both?
Testlio describes its crowdsourcing model as built for accountability at scale. For us it is the artifact trail: every session recorded, every screenshot linked to a checklist item, every note pinned to a moment, so you can audit what was tested without asking.
We're too small for Testlio — are we too small for you?
Probably not. We work with small teams by design: engagements are month to month, scoped on one call, and your first recorded session usually runs within the week.
