What a typical 1-hour test costs to run, in your own AWS account versus pay-as-you-go SaaS. The WPLoadTester license is a separate flat fee (below).
That's runtime only. The WPLoadTester license is a separate flat fee, from $4,990/yr (Solo) for unlimited tests, where pay-as-you-go SaaS meters every run. The more you test, the more the flat license saves.
Figures use current US-East c5 on-demand pricing and assume thread-per-VU HTTP testing; your actual cost depends on instance type, region, and test profile. Browser-based VUs cost about 10× more across all providers. See the full cost breakdown.
Yes. No credit card, no email gate, no time limit. The free tier includes the full HTTP recorder, the ASM correlation engine, the AI test-case assistant (with your own API key), and local playback.
The only things you can't do on the free tier are: run cloud-scale tests from EC2, and generate AI consultant-grade DOCX reports. Both are unlocked on the paid plans.
It depends on your network and the system you're testing. Typical desktop loads run 50–400 VUs comfortably. Cloud execution exists for higher scale and IP diversity, not because the desktop is artificially limited.
Yes. All paid plans are available monthly or annually. Annual billing saves 23%: Solo is $416/mo billed annually ($4,990/yr) vs. $541/mo billed monthly. Use the toggle above the pricing cards to switch.
For short evaluation before committing, the free desktop tier covers most needs without any subscription.
No. Our pricing is published and uniform: every customer pays the same. We don't negotiate, and we don't run quarterly specials. The price you see is the price.
You grant us an IAM role in your AWS account. When a cloud test starts, we provision EC2 load engines into your account using that role. When the test ends, we tear them down.
You see the EC2 charges directly on your AWS bill, typically $1–$5 for a moderate test. We don't mark up the infrastructure.
Pro-rated upgrade. Move from Solo to Team (or Team to Scale) at any time; we credit the unused portion of your current plan against the new one.
