Inside WPLoadTester 7.
The detailed view. Pricing breakeven math, the AI Assistant up close, the MCP server for engineers, side-by-side comparisons to LoadRunner / k6 / JMeter, and the full capability inventory.
Our 1999-vintage unique feature
How many users can your site actually handle?
Most load tests run a fixed number of users and tell you the response time. User Capacity Analysis finds the inflection point — the moment your site stops meeting your SLA. Use our defaults, or define your own performance goals.
AI that shows its work
AI that really gets work done.
Every recommendation is explained before it’s applied. The assistant tells you what it’s about to do, you accept or correct, then it does it.
| Task | Without AI Assistant | With AI Assistant |
|---|---|---|
| Configuring a complex test (scenario, parameterization, correlation) | 6 hours of recording and manual correlation | ~1 hour, AI explains each move |
| Writing the bottleneck report | 6–8 hours to author from scratch | ~1 hour to review and edit AI output |
Times based on real engagements. Your mileage will vary by application complexity and test scope.
Bring Your Own Cloud
Per-VU-hour SaaS bills compound. A flat license doesn’t.
Run a 10,000-user test about seven times a year and the flat license has paid for itself. Run weekly and per-VU-hour SaaS bills clear $78,000 while ours stays under $9,700.
| 10,000-VU × 1h tests per year | SaaS @ $0.15/VU-hr | WPLoadTester Cloud (license + EC2) | You save |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 (monthly) | $18,000 | $9,500 + $24 = $9,524 | $8,476 · 47% |
| 26 (biweekly) | $39,000 | $9,500 + $52 = $9,552 | $29,448 · 76% |
| 52 (weekly) | $78,000 | $9,500 + $104 = $9,604 | $68,396 · 88% |
Annual lease (10,000 VU) from our published pricing. SaaS rate is the published per-VU-hour at OpenText Core Performance Engineering, Grafana Cloud k6 Pro, and Azure Load Testing’s first 10,000 VU-hour tier (~$0.15). EC2 on m5.large × $0.096/hr in us-east-1 (April 2026). Reserved/Spot make it cheaper.
Two front doors
Performance testing for teams without performance teams.
AI Assistant GUI
For non-technical testers. Chat with the assistant inside the WPLoadTester GUI. It records the scenario, configures the test, and writes the report.
MCP Server CLI / Agentic
For engineers. WPLoadTester 7 exposes its test cases, results, and AI workflow as a Model Context Protocol server. Point Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible agent at it.
Everything else, in one place.
