Keploy

84/100open sourcefreemiumexplicit relation

Keploy is an open-source AI-powered testing platform that generates API, integration, and unit tests by recording real network traffic via eBPF. It captures API calls, database queries, and streaming events, then replays them as deterministic tests with auto-generated mocks — no code changes needed. Works across any language or framework with CI/CD pipeline integration and popular testing framework support including JUnit, PyTest, Jest, and Go-Test.

Open-source core (Apache-2.0) with $0 self-hosted eBPF test generation and local mocking. Cloud Playground is $0 forever for OpenAPI/Postman test generation with AI edge cases. Pro starts at $19/user/mo (or $49-$99/mo) with included usage credit, team collaboration, contract testing, and CI/CD runners. Enterprise provides custom pricing for Kubernetes in-cluster production capture, centralized Mock Registry, private VPC/air-gapped deployment, SSO/RBAC, SOC 2/HIPAA compliance, and dedicated SLA.Review →
