Why teams move off Chromatic
Per-snapshot pricing to publish a Storybook and diff it on each commit.
What you give up
Hosted visual regression testing, which Lookbook does not attempt.
This directory says so when an engine only covers part of the job. A replacement that needs a caveat is still worth knowing about — it just should not surprise you in week three.

Questions
- Is there an open-source alternative to Chromatic for Rails?
- Yes — Lookbook. It mounts into an application you already run, so there is no second deployment and no second database.
- What do I give up by replacing Chromatic?
- Hosted visual regression testing, which Lookbook does not attempt.
- How do I replace Chromatic in a Rails app?
- Add lookbook to your Gemfile, mount it in config/routes.rb at /lookbook, and run its migrations. The whole integration is two lines and a migration.
- How much does replacing Chromatic save?
- Chromatic is priced free tier, paid from $149/mo. The engines here are open source, so the cost becomes the time to mount one and the resources it uses inside your existing application.
