# Composal vs Biome

By Composal. Sources reviewed: 2026-10-15.

Biome checks source patterns and formatting in supported files. Composal evaluates the deployed application through browser Scenarios and exploration, which complements rather than replaces linting.

## Composal

Composal sends AI browser agents to use your running web app and check the outcomes you care about. Define journeys as plain-English Scenarios, map existing flows with Discovery, or explore for bugs with Deep Scan. Runs keep recordings and reproduction steps so your team or coding agent can investigate a Finding.

## Biome

JavaScript, CSS, and JSON linting and formatting

Biome provides a linter with rule-based static diagnostics and an integrated formatter. Its documentation covers recommended and configurable rules, safe fixes, editor integration, and supported language areas.

## Where each fits

Choose Biome when a unified tool for supported language linting and formatting fits your repository. Choose Composal for web acceptance checks, recordings, and Findings tied to actual application behavior.

## Try this evaluation

Run Biome on changed frontend files and use Composal on a preview of the same feature. Compare fixable source diagnostics with browser results for a success path and an error path.

### Coverage

Which user outcomes must this release prove, and which specialist checks must stay in your existing stack?

### Setup

Who prepares accounts, test data, permissions and access to the deployment being tested?

### Evidence

Can the engineer reproduce a reported failure from the recording and steps, without asking the tester to investigate again?

### Ownership

Who updates the checks when the product changes, and can the team review what a passing result actually proves?
