Does Playwright at playwright.dev have a paid subscription?

No. Playwright is a completely free, open-source testing framework licensed under Apache-2.0. There is no subscription, no account required, and no billing. You can simply stop using it.

What is Microsoft Playwright Testing and how is it different?

Microsoft Playwright Testing is a separate Azure cloud service that provides scalable, cloud-hosted test execution billed by test minutes. It is not the same as the open-source Playwright framework at playwright.dev.

Will I lose access to Playwright after cancelling Microsoft Playwright Testing?

No. The open-source Playwright framework remains freely available on GitHub and npm regardless of any Azure service changes. Only the cloud-based parallel testing service on Azure is affected.

Are refunds available for Microsoft Playwright Testing charges?

Refunds follow standard Azure billing policies. Contact Azure support through portal.azure.com → 'Help + support' → 'New support request' and select Billing as the issue type to request a refund.

Can I reactivate Microsoft Playwright Testing after deleting my workspace?

Yes. You can create a new Microsoft Playwright Testing workspace in Azure at any time by searching 'Microsoft Playwright Testing' in the Azure portal and following the setup wizard.

What happens to my test data when I delete the Azure workspace?

Deleting the workspace removes all associated resources and data including test run history and reporting data stored in Azure. Export any results you need before deleting the resource.

Confirm there is no subscription

Visit playwright.dev — Playwright is a free, open-source testing framework (Apache-2.0 license). There is no paid subscription, no account, and no billing associated with playwright.dev itself. Nothing to cancel.

Check if you mean Microsoft Playwright Testing (Azure)

If you are paying for testing minutes, you are likely using 'Microsoft Playwright Testing' — a separate Azure cloud service (not playwright.dev). Sign in to portal.azure.com with your Microsoft account.

Open your Playwright Testing workspace

In the Azure portal, navigate to 'All resources' or search 'Playwright Testing' in the search bar. Select your workspace resource.

Delete the workspace resource

On the workspace overview page, click 'Delete' in the top toolbar. Confirm deletion by typing the resource name when prompted, then click 'Delete'. This stops all billing.

Cancel Azure subscription if no longer needed

If the Playwright Testing workspace was your only Azure resource, go to portal.azure.com → 'Subscriptions', select your subscription, click 'Cancel subscription', and follow the prompts.
