Just as it sounds - this is a plan that you can use forever without paying a cent!

You get up to ten performance tests per month for up to 20 minutes and with 50 concurrent users. You can also use your ten test runs for GUI Functional Tests. In addition, you get 25,000 API calls and 1 mock service running at a time. Tests run from our shared servers - which means you can’t control the location of the load generators and reports are less reliable.

We have two types of plans: Annual and Monthly.

For the Basic Annual Plans: You'll get your 200 performance tests right away, and 300,000 API Calls. You decide if you want to use them all in the first month or spread them out evenly over the year. In addition, you get unlimited GUI functional tests, and 1 mock service to use during the year.

For the Basic Monthly Plans: You'll get 15 performance tests added to your account each month, which do not roll over to the next month if you don’t use them. In addition you get unlimited GUI functional tests, 1 mock service, and 25,000 API Calls per month.

Under the Basic Plan, test credits are consumed one per test run, regardless of duration or size. A Sandbox Test (also known as a “debugging” or “dry run” test) allows you to validate your test configuration on a shared environment without consuming a test credit.
Please note: BlazeMeter is capable of generating up to 1,000 threads per machine.

Under the Pro Plan tests are counted in Virtual User Hours (VUH). Each Virtual User (Thread) in your test will consume 1 VUH for tests of 1-60 minutes, 2 VUH for tests of 61-120 minutes, etc… A test that runs 200 Virtual Users for up to one hour will consume 200 VUH.

If a test fails to run (i.e. due to an error in a user uploaded script) or generate a report (tests need to run for at least 2 minutes to generate a report), the test will not be deducted from your test credits. If the test is mistakenly counted against your test credits, just let us know and we’ll refund your credits.

As a rule of thumb we recommend running up to 1,000 threads/virtual users per one load generator. However, the number of users that can be simulated depends on a few factors such as script intensity or available resources (The more intense your script – the fewer threads a single load generator can support) which may result in a lower number of virtual users for your test. The Pro and Unleashed plans allow a more fine grained control over the testing resources enabling you to set the amount of load generators and threads per load generator manually.

Adding BlazeMeter performance testing into your CI/CD pipeline helps teams detect and address performance issues early in the development cycle. To add BlazeMeter into your current CI/CD pipeline. You will need the following: 

• SCM: A source code management system. This is where you keep and version your application’s source code. The SCM can also be used to version your test scripts and most companies do so. Most popular SCM tools are based on Git.
• CI/CD: A Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery toolchain. CI/CD tools are used to build, test, package and ship your application to production. They offer multiple integration options as plugins and scripts to integrate with a huge ecosystem of tools. You need to have Taurus CLI available in your CI/CD runner/delegate because we are going to use it to trigger a BlazeMeter test.
• BlazeMeter: A leading Continuous Testing solution. 

At the completion of your trial if you choose not to upgrade your account will be deactivated and your buckets and API monitors will be disabled. We will send you an email a few days before it expires to remind you to upgrade to keep your account active.

Yep! Payments can be made via check or wire transfer when prepaying for 12 months of service in advance on Large and higher plans only. Contact us for more info.
