# Composal vs Sauce Labs

Sauce Labs is strongest as a place to execute existing automation or interact with provisioned browsers and devices. Composal instead centers its workflow on web Scenarios, application Discovery, and exploratory Deep Scan, then packages Findings for follow-up.

## Composal

Composal sends AI browser agents to use your running web app and check the outcomes you care about. Define journeys as plain-English Scenarios, map existing flows with Discovery, or explore for bugs with Deep Scan. Runs keep recordings and reproduction steps so your team or coding agent can investigate a Finding.
