Fair usage policy

Usage limits for Automated and Manual App Accessibility tests by plan tier.

BrowserStack App Accessibility Testing applies usage limits to ensure optimal performance for all customers.

Two limits apply for each product:

  • Automated tests: scans per build and builds per user per day.
  • Manual tests: scans per report and reports per user per day.

Enforcement policies

The following policies apply to both Automated tests and Manual tests:

  • Limits apply per user, not per group.
  • Daily limit counters reset at 00:00 UTC.
  • BrowserStack checks per-report and per-build limits on each submission.

Submissions blocked at 100% of any limit are not queued or retried automatically. To continue, wait for the daily counter to reset or upgrade your plan.

The following sections describe these limits and explain how you are notified when using Automated tests and Manual tests.

Automated tests

Automated tests run as part of your CI build through the BrowserStack SDK.

Plan-based limits

The following limits apply to scans submitted from your CI build:

Plan Scans per build Builds per user per day
Free 50 Capped by existing free-trial limit
Automate 2,000 100
Ultimate 3,000 200

Dashboard notifications

When a build exceeds the scans-per-build limit, the App Accessibility dashboard shows a warning on the build report indicating that some scans were not completed.

A warning on an App Accessibility Automated tests build report indicating that some scans were not completed because the scan limit was reached.

Manual tests

Manual tests run through Workflow Analyzer in the App Accessibility dashboard.

Plan-based limits

The following limits apply to scans submitted through Workflow Analyzer:

Plan Scans per report Reports per user per day
Free 50 25
Essentials 200 50
Automate 200 50
Ultimate 300 100

Dashboard and in-session notifications

When you approach or exceed a limit, Workflow Analyzer notifies you in one of the following ways:

  • At 80% of the reports-per-day limit, a Reports per day card appears in the device-selection column with your current count and the next reset time. Device selection stays enabled, so you can continue starting new sessions.
    The Reports per day card in the Workflow Analyzer dashboard at 80% of the daily report limit.

  • At 100% of the reports-per-day limit, the Reports per day card displays a Daily report limit reached message. Device selection is disabled until the daily counter resets. Hovering over a disabled device card shows the same message.
    The Reports per day card in the Workflow Analyzer dashboard showing the daily report limit reached and device cards disabled with a similar daily report limit reached message.

  • If you reach the scans-per-report limit during an active scanning session, App Accessibility stops scanning automatically and notifies you. You can save your current report to keep the issues captured up to that point.
