This page uses the dedicated QA Automation grid. It is separate from the QA / Tester family for general testing profiles; the two rates are not interchangeable.
Specify the applications, browsers, APIs, environments and test data available. Playwright, Cypress and Selenium are examples of tools to validate against your stack; experience level alone does not establish proficiency with a particular tool.
Reference for a 12-month engagement: $1,800 – $2,250 per month, with an estimated daily rate of $90 – $113 for a Mid-level profile, selected by default in the calculator.
Cost for 3, 6 and 12 months
Each commitment uses its own monthly rate. The project total is that rate multiplied by the duration; the 12-month rate is not applied to shorter engagements.
| Level | Duration | Per month | Daily rate estimate | Engagement total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Junior | 3 months | $1,850 – $2,350 | $93 – $118 | $5,550 – $7,050 |
| Junior | 6 months | $1,500 – $1,900 | $75 – $95 | $9,000 – $11,400 |
| Junior | 12 months | $1,350 – $1,750 | $68 – $88 | $16,200 – $21,000 |
| Mid-level | 3 months | $2,450 – $3,100 | $123 – $155 | $7,350 – $9,300 |
| Mid-level | 6 months | $1,950 – $2,450 | $98 – $123 | $11,700 – $14,700 |
| Mid-level | 12 months | $1,800 – $2,250 | $90 – $113 | $21,600 – $27,000 |
| Senior | 3 months | $3,600 – $5,100 | $180 – $255 | $10,800 – $15,300 |
| Senior | 6 months | $2,900 – $4,150 | $145 – $208 | $17,400 – $24,900 |
| Senior | 12 months | $2,650 – $3,700 | $133 – $185 | $31,800 – $44,400 |
Daily rate = monthly price ÷ 20 billable days, rounded to the nearest dollar. The 12-month total uses the “12 months+” grid. These are indicative estimates; the quote confirms scope, terms and availability.
United States and Tunisia: comparing the budgets
For the Mid-level tier, the calculator uses a US benchmark of $7,000 – $9,000 per month, compared with $1,800 – $2,250 for LSKSoft delivery from Tunisia on a commitment of at least 12 months.
The US benchmark is an internal calculator estimate by experience level, shared across technologies. It is not a dated market study. Compare responsibilities, billed time, included costs and management before estimating savings.
France vs Tunisia: a separate EUR comparison
For teams buying under the French pricing grid, the same experience tier has an internal France benchmark of 4 500 € – 6 000 € per month and an LSKSoft Tunisia service estimate of 1 600 € – 2 000 € per month on a 12-month commitment.
Both figures in this paragraph are in EUR and come directly from the French calculator. They are separate commercial benchmarks, not conversions of the USD estimates above. The France benchmark is an internal estimate shared across technologies, rather than a market survey.
Freelance or a QA Automation service from Tunisia?
For the same experience level and 12-month basis, the illustrative freelance scenario is $2,250 – $2,810 per month. Each end of the LSKSoft range is multiplied by 1.25 and rounded to the nearest ten. This is not a survey of Upwork or Malt prices.
Autonomy, continuity, supervision and contract terms also matter. Ask what each proposal includes to compare equivalent services.

Questions about QA Automation pricing
What monthly budget should I plan for a QA automation engineer in Tunisia?
For a commitment of 12 months or more, the LSKSoft grid estimates $1,350 – $3,700 per month, across Junior, Mid-level and Senior tiers. The table shows 3 and 6-month commitments separately. A quote confirms the profile and scope.
How is the daily rate for a QA Automation profile estimated?
The indicative daily rate is the monthly price divided by 20 billable days, rounded to the nearest dollar. This comparison convention does not replace the billing terms in your contract.
How does QA automation differ from manual QA?
Manual QA explores journeys, checks expected behavior and records defects. QA automation develops and maintains tests that can run repeatedly. Both approaches contribute to quality, but the QA Automation grid applies to the specialist working on test code and tooling.
Which experience level should I choose for QA Automation work?
A Junior engineer can add scenarios within an established framework under review. A Mid-level engineer can maintain a suite and its CI execution. A Senior engineer is appropriate for coverage strategy, test architecture and reliability issues spanning teams.
Does the freelance comparison represent Upwork or Malt market rates?
No. It applies an illustrative 25% increase to the LSKSoft range, rounded to the nearest ten. It is neither a platform survey nor a market average.
How can I request a QA Automation profile for my project?
Share your stack, responsibilities, expected duration and target start date. LSKSoft can scope the requirement, check availability and prepare a tailored proposal.
