How to select between Cypress & Playwright

Application complexity:
choose Playwright if your application is built with modern frameworks such as React, Angular, and Vue.js and you need to test on multiple browsers

Testing needs:
If you need advanced debugging and time-traveling capabilities, Cypress may be a better option because it has built-in time-travel support and a more powerful debugging experience

Skills and experience of your team:
If your team has less experience in end-to-end testing, Cypress may be a better option because it has a more user-friendly API

Community and resources:
Cypress has been around for longer but both have good Documentation and Community

Budget:
Both are Free with Cypress having an additional paid feature (Cypress Dashboard) if needed
