TestCafe can also connect to Sauce Labs _remotely_ via our [Provider Plugin](https://github.com/saucelabs/testcafe-provider).

Unlike [saucectl](/dev/cli/saucectl/), which transmits and runs your TestCafe
tests directly on a Sauce Labs VM, the Sauce Labs [Provider Plugin](https://github.com/saucelabs/testcafe-provider)
allows TestCafe to connect to a browser session remotely, allowing for a greater
project setup flexibility.
While [saucectl](/dev/cli/saucectl/) directly runs your TestCafe tests on a
Sauce Labs VM, the Sauce Labs Provider Plugin enables remote browser sessions.
This offers greater project flexibility, as tests run in your environment.
You maintain full control over the Node.js versions, dependency management, and
build systems.

Additionally, you may run into limitations with saucectl when accessing internal
resources that aren't accessible via HTTP(S) or use [unsupported ports](/secure-connections/sauce-connect/advanced/specifications/#supported-browsers-and-ports).

We recommend that you give both approaches a try and pick the one that suits
your use case best.
