Common questions

How is Hawzu different from Qase?

Both are modern test management platforms. Hawzu adds dedicated release management (with release-gated executions), a native defect lifecycle rather than light/integration-based defects, and built-in Observatory analytics — and it's free while we're in early access.

Is Hawzu free like Qase's free tier?

Qase's free plan caps you at 3 users. Hawzu is free across every feature while we're in early access. We'll announce pricing later with plenty of notice.

Can I migrate from Qase?

Import/migration tooling is on our roadmap. Email contact@snoowl.com in the meantime and we'll help you move your test cases across.
