12 alternatives to Seldon
Testifly is an autonomous AI QA service for web apps: you give it a URL, and it discovers your real user flows, turns them into end-to-end tests, runs them on every deploy and on a schedule, heals them when the UI changes, and explains failures with root-cause analysis and session video.
heal.dev is an AI agent that runs an application in a production-like sandbox to find bugs, performance regressions and runtime security issues. Each defect it files comes with a failing test that reproduces it.
BotGauge is an AI agent reliability platform that red-teams agents with adaptive attacks, traces every run, turns failures into evaluations and policies, and monitors agents in production; the company also runs an AI-led managed QA service.
TheySaid is a user-testing platform that runs usability tests with synthetic AI testers or real people and delivers findings and fix prompts inside tools like Claude Code, Cursor and Jira.
NoMac gives AI coding agents a real cloud Mac on Apple silicon with Xcode and full admin rights, ready in about a minute over MCP, CLI, API or SSH, to build, test and ship Apple apps. Billed per minute at $0.90 an hour from prepaid credit, with no subscription.
Arcjet is a security SDK and platform that runs inside your code to stop bots, abuse and prompt injection and to enforce policy on AI agents' tool calls. Its new custom-trained models include Himalia 1 for prompt injection and Thebe 1 for coding agents.
Tower is a desktop Git client for Mac and Windows from fournova; Tower 18 for Mac adds a rewritten gittower command-line tool and an Agent Skill so AI coding agents can open their changes in Tower for review.

Jev by TypeSafe AI is a model API that takes state plus typed questions and returns Choice, Score and true/false answers with calibrated probabilities instead of generated text.
Ultracite is an open-source, zero-configuration preset for Biome, Oxlint and ESLint. It lints and formats JavaScript and TypeScript code and checks each edit an AI coding agent makes against a strict, shared set of rules.
Maritime is a YC-backed cloud that gives every AI agent its own isolated machine: persistent agent boxes that sleep and wake in about a second, per-second sandboxes and swarms, and Linux desktops, Windows desktops and Android phones an agent can see and control, driven by API, SDKs, CLI or MCP.
