LoadView Pricing Calculation

Three Simple Steps to Build Your Custom Scenario

select icon

Select HTTP or Full Browser Testing & Input Your Parameters

Determine the test type (HTTP or full browser), the number of simultaneous users, and how long they should run to get the user cost.
calibrate load injectors

Run Load Injector Calibration for Your Target URL

Then calibrate your specific test in the system to find out how many users can run on a single load injector.
calculate custom scenario

We Calculate the Cost of your Custom Scenario

We divide the total number of users by the users per injector to determine how many load injectors are required.*

*This calculation is automatically done for you when you create a new test

Don’t overload your own network and hardware.

Utilize a globally distributed cloud based load testing system.

Sample Pricing Scenarios

The following examples illustrate a few simple tests.
Create your own free trial to setup a sample test of your own scenario to see what the cost will be. You can create multiple scenarios to price out different tests without a charge.

Small Homepage HTTP GET Request:

Load test a single URL with 200 simultaneous users for 20 minutes.

Assuming each instance can run 200 virtual users:
(2 VM x $4) + (100 users x 20 minutes x $0.01) = $28

Small Real Browser Interaction:

Load test the login portal of your website using a real Chrome/IE browser with 100 simultaneous users for 20 minutes.

Assuming each instance can run 10 virtual browsers:
(10 VM x $4) + (100 users X 20 minutes x $0.1) = $240

Medium Homepage HTTP GET Request:

Load test a single URL with 1000 simultaneous users for 20 minutes.

Assuming each instance can run 500 virtual users:
(2 VM x $4) + (1000 users x 20 minutes x $0.01) = $208

Multi-step API HTTP POST:

Load test multiple steps interacting with an API with 1000 simultaneous users for 20 minutes.

Assuming each instance can run 500 virtual users:
(2 VM x $4) + (1000 users x 20 minutes x $0.01) = $208

We Recommend that you run a small test scenario before running a large load test to make sure everything works as expected, because once we initiate a test, the base fee is fixed.
(We are committed to paying the cloud provider for the first 1 hour on every load injector no matter how long the test actually runs).

FAQ Regarding Pricing

1Is there a cost difference between Load Testing HTTP URL and Web Applications (full browser rendering)?
Yes. Basic HTTP requests simply generate traffic on the server while web application testing renders the page in a real browser, requiring much more resources on the servers generating the traffic. This means that an HTTP might be able to generate 100 to 1000 simultaneous users per load injector where a full browser test might only be able to generate 10 simultaneous users per load injector. For example, a 10 minute test requiring 100 simultaneous users for HTTP would have a base cost of 1x$4 load injector + 1x$4 baseline server+ .01x100x10= $18. The same 10 minute test run in a real browser might cost 10x$4 load injector + 1x$4 baseline server +.10X100X10= $144. Also, full browser rendering uses the baseline server to capture video of the page loading which requires much more storage capacity for the test results.
2Why do I need to calibrate my test before getting the exact pricing?
Calibrating a test automatically determines how much CPU% is used by the load injector for each simultaneous user. This tells us how many simultaneous users we can run per load injector. The number of load injector directly affects the cost of the test.
3Why is calibration for load testing HTTP URL and web application is different?
Web application testing renders a webpage in a real browser, which takes much more system resources from the load injector than simply sending a GET or POST request to the web server.
4Is there a monthly or annual commitment or fees?
There is no commitment and you can cancel at any time. There is a small data retention fee ($9.99/month) to retain all the data generated from load tests.
5Why is the price so different when changing the User Behavior Delay?
As you increase the delay between users (simulating users pausing to read a page) the CPU of the load injector is freed up to process more user sessions, increasing the recommended number of users per load injector.
