25 reviewers had the following to say about Katalon Studio's pricing:
Pros
Ease of use, low cost, ability to translate previously complex automation languages down into more functional "human speak"
Cons
No complaints with the software itself. Automation is complex, and the limitations we've found are inherent more to the complexity of the process of attempting to automate complex flows more than to the software itself.

Katalon Studio is probably the best automation software in the market. It made really easy for my people to start testing with record&play feature.
Pros
This is a very usable and likable software, I've experienced with the trial version and it is strongly possible that my employer will buy a full version.
Cons
The price is a little bit expensive for companies located at regions where their currency is weak if compared with US Dollars. Also it has some language gaps.

overall a very good experience. Allows a small test team to access a great deal of features and reduce the time of end to end testing by eliminating the need for test/dev teams to focus on framework programming and concentrate on scripting and reporting. On going support is also great with a very active community and store. Seems like a great solution for small - medium businesses to test web, mobile and api functionality.
Pros
good amount of documentation, great price, intuitive UI and support across multiple platforms, web, api, mobile etc.
Cons
beta version occasionally crashing or not loading files but this is to be expected to an extent when using beta software.

We solved the business problem wherein the values appearing on screen in our scorecard where mismatched with the downloaded excel. We automated the checking of values in downloaded excel sheets with the values show on screen with Katalon Studio.
Pros
Was able to automate most of the manual testing work using Katalon studio. Thus saving time and efforts and putting those to use in more productive work.
The experience was great working on Katalon studio. The frequent updates of the software, the added enhancements every now and then are perfect. Quicker responses is what one can expect. Coming to the tool, its a great tool to work with. To sum up its a great tool which we can employ without any cost to pay for.
Cons
It crashed many times without saving the changes I did.
Katalon community can be improved.
I strongly felt that it should have a revamped User Experience, in terms of color schemes, ease of use and more shortcut keys to be included.
Coming to the technical functionalities in the tool, sometimes while after including certain files from a particular folder, it doesn't appear there directly.
We have to refresh the tool. It would be great if the tool had some auto-refresh feature.
Sometimes while saving an Object Repository file, even if I save file, I am not able to save file and the changes are lost.
I feel that improvements can be made on architecture level to sort out all these issues.
The tool should be asset light, means should be able to work on minimum computing requirements.

Overall the tool has many good functions and capabilities. Pros, outweigh cons in a major way. Pricing structure and support is excellent.
Pros
Somewhat easy to get started (see cons), Git integration, beginner and expert modes. Ability to export and continue with other IDEs if desired to go outside of the tool (not locked in to it forever).
Plenty of information on the web to troubleshoot and ask questions (unlike our previous tool).
May frequent updates and feature releases.
Cons
A little cumbersome to setup all the needed plugins. Until everything is configured just right, you will run in to errors here and there that take time to troubleshoot.
Test case navigation/folder structure could use a few more options and customization capabilities to be able to sort things better.
Automatic centralized location for code and test case storage (similar to ALM) would be great. Having to commit and pull code each time from different stations is cumbersome. To schedule remote execution you must make sure the machine pulled latest code which is an issue if execution and development PCs are different.

Likelihood to recommend: 8/10
Pros
It's very easy to use. You can quickly record test scripts and execute them from the command line on a schedule. Tests should be created for every app feature and then you'll be notified on any failure. Very impressive.
Cons
Marketing website does not seem to explain pricing. Did not figure out how to extend with custom tests or actions.

We develop web apps, and we've used Katalon Studio along with our pre-production and production CI builds, to ensure each new version is running as expected. Saves loads of time!
Pros
Price is the biggest thing! Also easy to implement. You can setup your full test, and then have it generate a command that you can run as part of your CI builds.
Cons
Not a huge fan of how it runs each instance as its own new instance.

We started using Katalon Studio around a year ago. Some users with little or no experience could easily get comfortable using it just by hitting record and playing around.
Pros
Web, mobile and API testing, and of cost the cost.
Cons
Unlike tools like Selenium the script creation is limited to Java and Groovy only

Need to have an automation tool, which could complement our automation framework. Need to have an automation tool for people who are less tech savvy Spend less time on building framework ourselves
Pros
1. It's free
2. Very easy to use
3. Lots of built in features
4. Easy to integrate with other tools
5. Low learning curve
Cons
1. No Support at all, you have to buy a package even if you need a small question answered.
2. Would have liked if the inbuilt keywords were customization. Need to have more features which allow to build more features like recovery scenarios etc.
3. Managing the project on git is difficult. Faced difficulties in collaborating across the team.
4. Frequent version releases and poor backward compatibility

I am able to test multiple platforms (Web and API) with one single tool. This eliminates the need for multiple expensive and complicated tools.
Pros
Ease of setup and use. Scripts being automatically generated while adding recorded or manually added steps also make it very simple to learn Groovy scripting language.
Cons
Recorded steps are not very robust, so it would take some tweaking and fine-tuning to improve successful execution rate for recorded tests.

So far the tool has proved invaluable for testing and development.
Pros
Easy to configure
Very nice UI, intuitive for users and admins alike.
Cost effective compared to other tools.
Cons
Not being a developer I needed some assistance from our dev team to setup some of the test cases, but I was expecting that. Once setup the automated/recording features helped out alot.

Katalon is a powerful tool it makes it easier to find objects and stores them in a repository. You can also add functions into the production for easy multi use of the same code. The product is much easier to use then Selenium.
Pros
One of the main reasons I chose this tool for my team to use is because you don't already have to know how to program to use it. This enables me to use people that are not as expensive to do our automation.
Cons
There is no dark background for when you have to script only white. That C# selenium test can not be converted.
