Semaloop vs Mobot
Mobot is a fleet of mechanical robots that physically tap real phones, supervised by humans. Semaloop runs natural language tests on real iPhones and Android emulators against every build you ship.
What Mobot is
Mobot runs robots that physically tap real iPhones and Android phones, using computer vision to recognise on-screen UI and drive taps, swipes and gestures. It lists a fleet of more than 300 devices, with up to three devices per robot for multi-device scenarios, and a Mobot QA analyst triages every failure before it reaches you. It highlights the cases conventional automation struggles with: Face ID and Touch ID, payments, push notifications and deep links.
Where they differ
| Semaloop | Mobot | |
|---|---|---|
| How the device is driven | An agent, in software, driving the device | A mechanical arm physically touching the screen |
| Model | Software your team runs | A managed service, with a QA analyst triaging failures |
| Physical interactions | Not covered — no fingerprint, no second handset | The core strength: biometrics, multi-device |
| Who checks results | A judging step compares each run with the spec | A Mobot QA analyst triages every failure before it reaches you |
| Pricing | Published per execution, with a calculator | Credits, Mobot Unlimited or Enterprise; no prices published, and an annual agreement is standard |
Choose Mobot if
- You need genuinely physical interactions covered — fingerprint and face unlock, a second handset receiving a message.
- You want a human verifying every result before it reaches you.
- Device breadth across a large matrix of physical handsets is the point.
Choose Semaloop if
- You want every build tested automatically.
- You want to add a flow yourself this afternoon without involving a vendor.
- Your failing flows are software behaviour rather than physical hardware interaction.
