Checkly CTO and founder here. Thanks for trying Checkly. Just looking at Preflight, I think the audience might be different. Where we — Checkly — focus heavily on "code first / developer first", Preflight seems to target no/low code. For us, code-first / dev-first means we directly integrate with popular JS frameworks (like Playwright and Puppeteer), allow you to code any setup / teardown scripts in NodeJs and generally want you to treat your testing and monitoring setup "as code". So, TLDR is that I would 100% give Preflight a try and see if it matches your workflow. Always choose the best tool for your problem! P.S. we do help with generating test scripts with our Chrome extension https://github.com/checkly/headless-recorder
