Hi Amy, In terms of lightness, both are light weight (under a MegaByte). SeleniumBase can do far more though: UI Testing, Visual Testing, Website walkthroughs, Charts, Presentations, etc. And the syntax when using the sb pytest fixture is very clean and flexible:

# "sb" pytest fixture test in a method with no class
def test_sb_fixture_with_no_class(sb):
    sb.open("https://google.com/ncr")
    sb.type('input[title="Search"]', 'SeleniumBase\n')
    sb.click('a[href*="github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase"]')
    sb.click('a[title="seleniumbase"]')


# "sb" pytest fixture test in a method inside a class
class Test_SB_Fixture():
    def test_sb_fixture_inside_class(self, sb):
        sb.open("https://google.com/ncr")
        sb.type('input[title="Search"]', 'SeleniumBase\n')
        sb.click('a[href*="github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase"]')
        sb.click('a[title="examples"]')
