Three paid self-hosted tiers keep the product and licensing surface straightforward.
Pricing
Run LoadStrike on your own infrastructure for C#, Java, Python, TypeScript, and JavaScript workloads. Start with a 7-day trial if your account has no prior paid license history, then choose the paid plan that matches your runtime, transport, and runner-key requirements.
Self-hosted runtime
Cross-platform correlation
Runner-key licensing
No cloud usage meter
Entry starts with the Community tier for engineers validating API and stream performance flows.
Yearly billing lowers cost while keeping the same plan surface and runner-key policy for the selected tier.
Eligible new accounts can start with a trial before purchasing a paid plan.
Start With A Trial
Use the trial to validate fit on one real transaction path before you commit to a broader rollout.
No Payment Required
7-Day Trial
Trial Free /7 days
Use LoadStrike for 7 days with the same runtime capabilities as the Community plan before you buy, for accounts with no prior paid license history.

Self-hosted pricing
Every paid plan stays self-hosted and keeps the same core scenario model, with higher tiers expanding transports, distributed execution, and extensibility surfaces.
