Semaloop vs Minitap
Minitap is an agent that maps testable flows from your source and aims to author the suite for you. Semaloop runs plain-English tests on real iPhones and Android emulators against every build you ship.
What Minitap is
Minitap’s pitch is that it removes test authorship as well as maintenance: it reads the app from source, maps flows automatically including ones nobody thought to describe, and keeps the suite current without input from your team. The trade is the one that always comes with automatic coverage — you get breadth, and you give up saying precisely what matters.
Where they differ
| Semaloop | Minitap | |
|---|---|---|
| Who decides coverage | You do, one spec at a time | The tool derives it from your source |
| What a failure means | A stated intent did not hold | A derived expectation did not hold |
| Source access | Not required — we drive the shipping build | Reads the app from source |
| Triage load | Bounded by the tests you chose to write | Scales with automatically discovered flows |
| Pricing | Published in full, with a calculator | Contact sales at time of writing |
Choose Minitap if

- You are comfortable granting a testing tool access to your source.
Choose Semaloop if
- You want a small, trusted suite that maps to the flows your business actually depends on.
- You would rather not give a third party your source to get end-to-end coverage.
- You want every failure to come with the video and logs needed to act on it immediately.
