Direct answer
How is LoadStrike priced?
LoadStrike uses simple self-hosted plans for teams that want predictable load testing costs today: Free, Pro, and Enterprise.
Start with Free or a Pro trial, then choose the plan that matches your transport, reporting, and rollout needs.
Public self-service pricing shows regional currency when a complete price is available. Private Enterprise accounts see the agreed amount and its fixed monthly or annual cadence in their assigned offer before checkout.
Common questions
Pricing questions teams ask before rollout
Short answers on pricing, rollout, and plan fit.
What changes between LoadStrike pricing plans?
Plans keep the same scenario model and unlock more transports, reports, extensibility, or rollout controls as the team moves from simple checks to wider performance programs.
Is LoadStrike priced for self-hosted use?
Yes. Pricing is plan-based for self-hosted use, so teams are not buying cloud load consumption each time they run a performance test from their own environment.
How does regional pricing work on the public page and in the portal?
The site shows regional currency when available, then keeps the account on the captured billing country so checkout, renewal context, and later portal views stay consistent.
How are plan changes billed?
Paid plan changes apply to the current subscription. If the change happens before the current billing period ends, the customer may receive a prorated charge or credit for the remaining time.
How do renewals affect paid time?
A completed renewal adds the selected billing interval once. Repeated payment confirmations do not add it again, and later subscription updates do not shorten the paid-through date.
How do private Enterprise offers work?
Each new private Enterprise offer has exactly one administrator-selected amount and one fixed recurring cadence, monthly or annual. Approved accounts review those terms in the portal and continue to checkout using that cadence. An offer can have only one active checkout at a time, and it becomes available for another attempt if that checkout expires before payment.
Can an administrator provision Enterprise without customer checkout?
Yes. An administrator can issue a non-renewing Enterprise license directly to an account for administrator-managed provisioning. Direct issuance creates neither a self-service Stripe subscription nor a private Enterprise offer.
Do all paid plans use the same scenario and reporting model?
Yes. The workflow model stays consistent across paid plans, while the available transports, reporting surfaces, extensions, and rollout controls change by the selected commercial plan.
Can a team evaluate LoadStrike before buying a paid plan?
Yes. Teams can use the trial path to validate LoadStrike on a real workflow before rollout, then choose the plan that matches their expected usage.
