Basic
Entry level license for small businesses and individuals.
Competitors have hard limits on virtual user hours, offer extremely limited numbers of test hours, 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 hours in the market, and a better price than our competitors.

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 hours work?
All accounts include a number of test hours. Test hours are consumed when you run a test, with the minimum amount being one hour.
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 hours at once. Typically a single load generator
can maintain 10,000-30,000 concurrent VUs.
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!
