Security header misconfigurations aren't just technical oversights—they create real vulnerabilities that expose your users to XSS attacks, clickjacking, and data breaches. But manually checking security headers across every page? That's time-consuming and error-prone at scale. LoadForge can check them all for you!
Accessibility issues aren't just compliance concerns—they exclude real users, create legal liability, and hurt your SEO rankings. But manually checking every page for WCAG compliance? That's overwhelming and inconsistent across large websites. Automate monitoring with LoadForge.
LoadForge pricing comes in four variants, scaling up depending on your feature requirements and number of virtual users needed by your tests. You may
change packages or cancel at any time.

⚠️ VU Hour Limitations Impact Your Testing
Example: 5,000 user load test for 1 hour
LoadForge: ✅ Run unlimited tests
Grafana k6: ❌ Exhausts monthly quota in 1 test
BlazeMeter: ❌ Uses 6,500 VUh (8% of yearly limit)
CI/CD Impact
• VU hour limits prevent frequent testing
• Can't run concurrent tests across environments
• Forces teams to choose between test coverage and budget
• Blocks true continuous testing practices
* k6 Pro charges $0.15 per VUh after included limits. BlazeMeter Pro annual pricing shown ($499/mo = $5,988/year). LoadRunner Cloud and Artillery pricing varies based on usage - estimates shown for 100,000 VUh scenario.
Load testing that's designed to be used
Competitors have hard limits on virtual user hours, offer extremely limited numbers of test credits, and have confusing pricing. We offer a simple, transparent pricing model that scales with your needs.
No VUh Limits
We never limit your virtual user hours. If you have 200 hours of tests with 50k VUs you can run 50k concurrent users for 200 straight hours.
More VUs, more hours
LoadForge offers the highest virtual users and test credits in the market, and a better price than our competitors.
You're in control
Upgrade, downgrade or cancel whenever you wish. No contracts, no hidden fees, no surprises. Yearly has a 30% discount.

Prefer we do the work? LoadForge offers consultant run testing for enterprises for $9900.
Yes, we don't do lock-ins. You pay per month and if you only use the service for one month then you can cancel it after you're done!
How is the service billed?
It's all fixed price, as seen above. We bill through Stripe and you are charged once per month.
Can I purchase a yearly contract, or higher capacity?
Yes, yearly pricing is available and you can contact us at sales@loadforge.com for any custom requirements. Yearly packages
also include a 30% discount on the prices listed above.
What are the restrictions around the packages?
Only what you see on the pricing list above. They all have all the non-listed features.
How do test credits work?
All accounts include a number of test credits. Test credits are consumed when you run a test, with the minimum amount being one credit.
LoadForge provides 20x (or often much more) the test capacity than competitors in the market as we want you to be able to run tests as often as you need,
and believe in constant testing.
If you need to test on multiple load generators at once, you can use multiple test credits at once. Typically a single load generator
can maintain 10,000-30,000 concurrent VUs. If you run out of credits they are billed on-demand at between $1 and $2 per credit depending on your package.
What are VUs and VUhs?
VU's are virtual users — the number of concurrent users we are simulating in your load test.
VUh's are virtual user hours — an often predatory pricing model in the load testing industry that LoadForge does not use.
What competitors often do is limit your virtual user hours. A 5,000 user test is 5,000 virtual user hours, which
then caps your account and restricts you from running more tests.
We have designed LoadForge to be used by you and your team — a lot!
What happens if I exceed my plan limits?
If you run out of test credits, additional credits are billed on-demand at $1-2 per credit (depending on your plan).
You'll receive email notifications before hitting limits, and can upgrade your plan at any time.
We'll never shut down your tests mid-run or surprise you with overage fees.
Do you offer demos or money-back guarantees?
Yes! We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all plans - if you're not satisfied,
get a full refund, no questions asked. You can also book a personalized demo
with our team to see how LoadForge fits your specific use case.
How quickly can I get started?
Most teams are running their first load test within 15 minutes of signing up.
Our platform includes pre-built test templates, an intuitive GUI, and comprehensive documentation.
Premium customers get a complimentary 1:1 onboarding session to ensure success from day one.
What kind of support do you provide?
All plans include email support with typical response times under 4 hours during business hours.
Premium customers get 24/7 support via email, chat, and phone.
