# Composal vs Testmo

Testmo records and coordinates exploratory sessions, while Composal can perform browser exploration through Deep Scan and organize observations as Findings. Testmo is especially relevant for managing test work across manual and automated sources.

## 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.
