What TestRail costs

- 10 users: $410/mo (Professional $41/user/mo monthly x 10 = $410 (Essentials caps at 5 users, so Professional is the cheapest plan for 10).)
- 10k test runs: no public price (null: TestRail is a test management tool (manages test cases and records runs; it does not run automated tests), which the category rule sets to null.)
Plan compared: Essentials, 1 user, monthly billing (cheapest paid self-serve plan).

Pricing page: testrail.com/pricing. Prices last checked Oct 16, 2026. Monthly prices come from the pricing page's embedded plan data (the backend stores monthly prices and annual applies a discount), matching the page text that Essentials and Professional have monthly billing and Enterprise is annual-only. No price history was verified: PricingSaaS has no TestRail page (404) and the web search budget ran out, so changes is empty and the Essentials launch date is unknown.
