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.
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. Checkout and recorded payments follow that currency's Stripe amount rules, including whole-unit charging for currencies that do not use fractional charge units.
How are plan changes billed?
Change Plan lists the paid subscription targets currently available for self-service changes. Any proration is shown before checkout. If no eligible target is available, the action stays unavailable.
What happens if live pricing is temporarily unavailable?
If live pricing is temporarily unavailable, LoadStrike uses the most recent complete pricing available and then the complete published fallback. If no complete price is available, the affected option stays unavailable; wait a moment and try again before checkout.
When can I renew a paid license?
Paid self-service renewal eligibility is based on the account's local calendar date, from two calendar months before through two calendar months after the license expiry date, inclusive.
How do renewals affect paid time?
Repeated or concurrent renewal requests produce one checkout and one license extension. A pending delayed payment leaves the current license unchanged. A later success extends it once only if the replacement remains eligible, then retires the prior subscription. A delayed older billing result cannot shorten or otherwise regress a newer renewal. If the replacement is ineligible, it grants no entitlement; the current license remains while the payment is reviewed, the replacement is cancelled, and a refund is completed when appropriate. A failed payment preserves the current license.
What should I do if a renewal checkout is already being created?
If a renewal request returns HTTP 409 with code renewal_checkout_in_progress and Retry-After: 2, no checkout URL is included. Wait two seconds, then retry the exact same renewal request. Keep retries bounded and contact support if the conflict continues.
What should I do if a checkout is already being created or recovered?
If a plan purchase, plan change, or private Enterprise checkout returns HTTP 409 with code billing_operation_in_progress and Retry-After: 2, no checkout URL is included. Wait two seconds, then retry the exact same request. Keep retries bounded and contact support if the conflict continues. If LoadStrike is recovering an interrupted checkout, that exact retry resumes the same checkout rather than creating a duplicate.
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. A payment completed after the offer is cancelled or expires does not grant an entitlement; the payment is reviewed, the subscription is cancelled, and a refund is completed when appropriate.
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.
Validate fit, then choose a plan.
Start with a quick run, review the report, then choose.
