A sandbox alternative that costs less than $20k and feels real.
Vendor sandboxes are expensive, thin, and isolated. You need an environment that spans every system and actually reconciles.
Why vendor sandboxes don't cut it
A NetSuite sandbox can run $20k+ a year. A QuickBooks test company is hand-built and tedious. None of them know about each other — your Stripe test data and your accounting test data tell different stories, so end-to-end tests are impossible.
What Fictix does instead
One synthetic company, generated in under a minute, exposed through endpoints shaped like each real service. Every invoice in accounting matches a charge in payments matches a deposit in banking — cross-system coherenceis the point, not an afterthought. It's a fraction of sandbox cost and it spans the whole stack.
Snapshot now, runtime when you need it
Start with a downloadable snapshot to prototype against. When you need a living environment — evolving books, webhooks, an API wired into CI — turn the same company live without regenerating it.
Questions
Is this really cheaper than a vendor sandbox?
Yes — generating a synthetic company is a fraction of the cost of an enterprise sandbox subscription, and it spans every system instead of one.
Does the data reconcile across systems?
Yes. Fictix generates one company whose accounting, payments and banking all tie out to each other — the core thing isolated sandboxes can't do.
Can I keep using my real integration code?
Yes. Endpoints are shaped like the real services' APIs, so existing integrations point at Fictix with no adapter changes.
