I use Ghost Inspector because sometimes you just need to get the client or project started quickly on automated testing to prove value. Ghost Inspector offers super easy authoring, and cloud hosting by default so it's good for small projects. It might not have all the features of testing frameworks but the ramp up is super easy, so it's value for time invested is huge.

Ghost Inspector Alternatives & Comparisons
What are some alternatives to Ghost Inspector?
BrowserStack
Live, Web-Based Browser Testing
Instant access to all real mobile and desktop browsers. Say goodbye to your lab of devices and virtual machines.
Selenium
Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily, it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should!) also be automated as well.
Cypress
Cypress is a front end automated testing application created for the modern web. Cypress is built on a new architecture and runs in the same run-loop as the application being tested. As a result Cypress provides better, faster, and more reliable testing for anything that runs in a browser. Cypress works on any front-end framework or website.
Mocha
Mocha is a feature-rich JavaScript test framework running on node.js and the browser, making asynchronous testing simple and fun. Mocha tests run serially, allowing for flexible and accurate reporting, while mapping uncaught exceptions to the correct test cases.
Jest
Jest provides you with multiple layers on top of Jasmine.
