Steadybit review
A governed, no-code platform for running controlled reliability experiments at scale.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Steadybit is a chaos engineering and reliability testing platform for software, platform, and reliability teams. It helps organizations discover system components, identify reliability risks, design no-code experiments, inject faults, and evaluate system behavior with health checks and observability integrations. SaaS and on-premises deployments are supported, including air-gapped environments, making it suited to organizations that need controlled reliability workflows across varied infrastructure.
The platform’s strongest area is experiment control and execution breadth. Landscape Explorer discovers and groups system components, while Reliability Advice includes Kubernetes best-practice checks. Teams can use timeline-based experiment actions and inject network, resource, application, and cloud faults. Target filtering, configurable blast-radius controls, pre-flight checks, permissions, and emergency stops provide governance around potentially disruptive work. Experiments can run manually, on schedules, through APIs and CLIs, or within CI/CD workflows. Integrations include Kubernetes, AWS, Azure, GCP, Datadog, Dynatrace, Grafana, Prometheus, New Relic, Apache Kafka, Jenkins, and Postman.
Pricing is structured around Professional and Enterprise plans. Professional includes Landscape Explorer, Reliability Advice, Experiment Templates, unlimited agents and targets, unlimited users and teams, and unlimited experiment executions. Enterprise adds everything in Professional plus reporting, custom property management, pre-flight webhooks, custom webhooks, and on-prem installation. A 30-day trial is available, while the published model requires contacting Steadybit for plan pricing and does not include a permanent free plan. Choose Steadybit when reliability testing needs broad infrastructure coverage, repeatable automation, and governance. Teams seeking a permanently free option should look elsewhere.
