What is Roost AI?
Roost AI is an AI-native quality engineering platform that transforms software testing using generative AI for test case generation and testing environments.
Roost AI pricing
Pricing model: Free
Roost.ai offers a 3-week free trial with no payment details required. After the trial, subscription plans are available through AWS Marketplace: Roost Startup Subscription (25 users/year) at $25,000, Roost Midsize Subscription (50 users/year) at $50,000, and Roost Enterprise Subscription (100 users/year) at $100,000. Pricing is based on contract duration and terms with the vendor. Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Active subscriptions include security patches, minor upgrades, and technical support via email or portal. Some sources mention a Pro plan at $29/month with limited test runs on a free tier, but the primary enterprise pricing appears to be the AWS Marketplace subscriptions.

Frequently asked questions about Roost AI
What is RoostGPT?
RoostGPT is Roost.ai's automated test-generation software that acts as a testing copilot powered by generative AI and large language models. It transforms requirements, code, APIs, UI flows, and enterprise context into maintained test assets, auditable coverage, and release-readiness intelligence. It automatically generates unit tests, functional tests, API & integration tests, and UI tests.
How does Roost.ai generate test cases?
RoostGPT collects inputs from source code repositories (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket), Jira/Confluence user stories and acceptance criteria, commit/change logs, and API traffic logs. This data is processed and sent to generative AI models like Google Vertex, Azure OpenAI, GPT-4, or Claude 3.5 Sonnet, which create tailored test cases. The output is reviewed by humans and automatically committed to repositories.
What deployment options does Roost.ai support?
Roost.ai offers flexible deployment options: cloud, on-premise, or hybrid. It supports self-hosted, single-tenant deployment where all compute, storage, and networking stay within your environment. The platform can be deployed on AWS using Terraform scripts, on Ubuntu Server, on Windows via installer, or on EC2 Linux via CLI. It operates within your existing infrastructure and security perimeter.
Which AI models does RoostGPT support?
RoostGPT supports multiple AI model providers including OpenAI (gpt-4, gpt-3.5-turbo, gpt-3.5-turbo-16k), Claude AI (including Claude 3.5 Sonnet), Azure OpenAI, Google Vertex AI, and open source models like meta-llama/Llama-2-13b-chat and HuggingFaceH4/starchat-beta. Customers choose and configure their own LLM endpoints.
Is Roost.ai secure for enterprise use?
Yes, Roost.ai is built for secure isolated execution with every generation running in isolated Docker containers. It supports role-based access control with granular permissions, customer-side secrets managers (HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault), enterprise SSO (OIDC/SAML), and is audited to SOC 2 Type 2 and HIPAA Type 2 standards. Signed containers include SBOMs and SLSA Level 2+ supply-chain attestations.
Does Roost.ai collect my source code or data?
No. In self-hosted deployment, all source code, prompts, test artifacts, logs, and coverage reports remain under your existing backup and retention policies within your environment. Prompts and completions never traverse Roost.ai infrastructure - they never leave your LLM tenant. Roost.ai neither collects nor analyzes your content and is not a data processor under data protection laws.
What integrations does Roost.ai support?
Roost.ai integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket (Cloud and Server), Azure DevOps for source code; Jira and Confluence for requirements; Elasticsearch and Amazon CloudWatch for application logs; LaunchDarkly for feature flags; and supports OAuth providers including Okta, Google, Microsoft Azure ADFS, Github, Google, Microsoft, and LinkedIn.
How do ephemeral environments work in Roost?
Roost creates temporary, encapsulated deployment environments on-demand through pull requests or on-demand requests instead of maintaining test environments 24/7. Each environment gets a custom sharable URL for stakeholder review. These environments prevent consistency drift, reduce cloud/infra costs, and disappear after functional use. This makes testing parallel rather than sequential.
What is included in the free trial?
The free trial lasts 3 weeks and requires no payment details. You sign up at app.roost.ai, receive a trial license instantly, and get access to all of Roost's features including AI-driven test case generation, ephemeral environment creation, VS Code extension, CLI, and integrations. You can connect your code repository, API specs, and documentation immediately.
How does Roost.ai handle compliance and governance?
Roost.ai provides auditable workflows where every generation, maintenance action, and governance event is logged for compliance audits. It supports regulated-environment readiness for banking, insurance, healthcare, and high-compliance SaaS where traceability and governance are mandatory. The platform includes complete audit trails for every action, supports human-in-the-loop review before merge, and is designed for compliance without compromising control.
