Load Testing in the Cloud

Load Testing - What's the Cost?


Guaranteed Lowest Price

load testing cost testimonialLoadStorm is the most cost-effective cloud load testing tool in the world. We offer two choices: 1) A monthly subscription or 2) Pay per test (aka. Storm on Demand).

The key to our subscription is that you get unlimited number of tests and data transfer! We limit the number of maximum concurrent virtual users per test, but you can run tests as many times as you need for performance tuning your web application.


Free Forever

load testing freeUse your free Breeze account to create as many test plans as you wish. There is no additional charge for load tests, scenario creation, or analytical reporting and dashboard. Your Breeze account has every feature and function of a premium account. Additionally, Breeze accounts are forever! Our free offer to you is not a one-time test run; nor is it a 30-day trial. It is your load testing account for as long as you want to use it.


Storm on Demand

If you prefer to pay as you run tests, we offer a "Storm on Demand" option where you can pay for virtual users as needed for $0.0399 each. You can use them all in one test or draw upon them when you need them. You don't have to buy at exactly the levels shown - you can buy 1,842 if you want.

Storm on Demand Users Cost
250 $9.97
500 $19.95
1,000 $39.90
5,000 $199.50
10,000 $399.00
25,000 $997.50
50,000 $1,995.00

For example, if you buy 3,000 Storm on Demand virtual users ($119.70) then you may use 800 in one test and 2,200 in another test. They never expire, and you can use them in any quantity.


Monthly Subscriptions - 6 Levels to Choose From

You don't need to calculate how many hours your tests will run, nor do you need to estimate the amount of bandwidth your test will consume. There is no additional charge for running more tests or heavier web pages!

Max Concurrent Users Per Test Type Monthly
25 Breeze FREE (forever)
100 Gust $19.99
500 Tornado $99.95
2,500 Typhoon $499.75
5,000 Hurricane $999.50
25,000 Cyclone $4,997.50
50,000 Meteor $9,995.00

A typical client will run about 10-15 load tests per month. So the actual cost per user/hour of performance testing is under $0.02.

Check with our competitors and see that they are charging $.30 per virtual user/hour.

No Commitment on Your Part

Monthly subscriptions do not require any commitment beyond one month. In fact when you upgrade, there is a selection for one month only or recurring charge - your choice. If you choose recurring, you may revert your account to a free Breeze plan at any time, and you will receive a reminder email approximately 3 days before your renewal date.

To upgrade your account to a larger volume of concurrent users, simply login to your account and click the orange "Upgrade Now" button in the top right corner. You will be given a screen to choose the volume you want and a page to enter your credit card information. It's very easy, and it's immediate. You can run the large tests right away.

If you prefer not to upgrade through the system, please contact us at:   1 (970) 389-1899 or sales@loadstorm.com.
