RedQA Now Serves US Clients: Professional QA Testing Available Across the United States

6 min readBy Elmonds Kreslins

RedQA is now open to US clients

We are excited to announce that RedQA is now fully available to companies based in the United States. With a dedicated US phone number (+1 (646) 655-0245) and a fully remote team operating across US and UK time zones, we are ready to become your QA team from day one.

Whether you are a funded startup in San Francisco, a SaaS company in New York, or an enterprise team in Austin, RedQA can integrate into your workflow without the overhead of building an in-house QA function.

Why US companies choose a UK-based QA agency

Outsourcing QA to a specialist agency is common and well-established in the UK. US companies are increasingly making the same move, for the same reasons:

  • Cost efficiency without quality compromise. Hiring a senior QA engineer in-house in the US costs $90,000 to $130,000+ per year plus benefits, equipment, and management overhead. RedQA plans start from $1,875/month with no long-term contracts.
  • Immediate capacity. There is no recruitment lead time. We can have an engineer assigned and onboarded within days of sign-off, not months.
  • Specialist expertise on demand. Need Playwright automation one sprint and an accessibility audit the next? A specialist agency can flex. An in-house hire cannot.
  • No management overhead. We report directly to your product or engineering lead. You get the output, not the HR problems.

How we work with US teams

The time zone difference between the UK and the US (5 to 8 hours depending on your state) is a practical advantage, not a barrier. Here is how we make it work:

Async-first communication

We document everything. Every bug report, test execution log, and status update is written down in your project management tool of choice, whether that is Jira, Linear, Notion, or GitHub Issues. You wake up to completed work, not questions.

Overlap hours for collaboration

For teams on the East Coast, we have a 4 to 5-hour overlap window in the morning. West Coast teams can catch us for a standup call at the start of their day. We flex our schedule to make this work.

Slack and Microsoft Teams integration

All our plans include Slack or Teams access. Your team can ping your RedQA engineer directly. Bug questions get answered the same day.

Sprint-aligned delivery

We run on your sprint cadence. If you run two-week sprints, we plan our testing cycles to match. Regression tests, exploratory testing, and automation tasks are scoped at sprint planning and delivered by sprint end.

What services are available to US clients

Every RedQA service is available remotely to US-based companies:

  • Manual testing: functional, regression, exploratory, and compatibility testing across browsers and devices
  • Playwright test automation: building and maintaining end-to-end test suites integrated into your CI/CD pipeline
  • WCAG accessibility audits: Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance is increasingly enforced in the US, with lawsuits rising year on year. We audit against WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 AA standards, which form the technical basis for ADA accessibility requirements
  • API testing: REST and GraphQL API validation, contract testing, and performance testing of backend services
  • Performance testing: k6 load tests, Core Web Vitals analysis, and spike testing before major launches
  • AI and LLM testing: testing for accuracy, hallucination rates, safety guardrails, and regression in AI-powered products

ADA compliance: a growing priority for US companies

The Americans with Disabilities Act requires that digital products be accessible to users with disabilities. While the legal framework differs from the UK's Equality Act, the technical standards converge: WCAG 2.1 AA is the accepted baseline for both.

ADA accessibility lawsuits have increased significantly over the past five years, with retail, hospitality, and SaaS companies among the most frequently targeted. An audit from RedQA provides a documented baseline of your accessibility posture, a prioritised list of issues by severity, and guidance on how to fix them.

Getting started

The fastest way to get started is to book a free 30-minute discovery call. We will ask about your product, your stack, your current QA process (or lack of one), and give you an honest assessment of where testing would add the most value.

There is no pitch, no obligation, and no slides. Just a conversation with a QA engineer.

Call us on +1 (646) 655-0245, email hello@redqa.com, or book a call via our contact page.

We look forward to working with you.
