Contact sales Price per VU-hour
The lowest published price per virtual user-hour
Monthly price divided by included VU-hours is the only figure that compares cloud load-testing vendors like for like. Ours is derived from the same billing catalog the product bills against.
| Vendor | Published price per VU-hour |
| MaxoPerf | Starter $0.0058 / VU-hour ·
Pro $0.00398 / VU-hour — hard-capped, no overage
|
| Azure Load Testing | $0.15 / VU-hour for the first 10,000 VUh, then $0.06 (pricing) |
| OctoPerf | Pay-Per-Test $99 per test-hour at 1,000 VUs ($0.099 / VU-hour) (pricing) |
| BlazeMeter | Basic from $149 / month; VU-hours not published as a unit rate (pricing) |
| Grafana Cloud k6 | Metered in VUh; no public unit rate on the product page (pricing) |
| NeoLoad | No published price — quote required |
| LoadRunner Cloud | No published price — quote required |
Competitor prices as published by each vendor and verified on 2026-07-06.
Vendors who publish no price are listed as such rather than estimated. BYOC (bring-your-own-cloud
private runners) is included on every MaxoPerf plan, the free tier included.
Metering
Simple enough for self-serve, explicit enough for enterprise
Usage-based load testing can get confusing fast. MaxoPerf keeps plan caps and metered usage visible in the billing and run workflows instead of hiding them in cloud bills.
Included usage first
Monthly plans start with the period's included VU-hours allowance. Annual plans receive the full year (12× the monthly allowance) up front as a single pool — it is not reset monthly.
Aggregation latency: < 10s
Product caps are visible
Concurrent runs, retention, and engine allowances are driven by the shared catalog.

Enterprise stays flexible
High-scale or compliance-heavy teams can work through sales for custom usage and support terms.

FAQ
Pricing questions
Where do the plan limits come from?
This page reads the shared billing catalog used by the product, so plan names, included usage, retention, engines, and caps do not drift from the application.
Does the free plan launch real load anonymously?
No. Free accounts still authenticate in the console, attach scenarios, choose capacity, and confirm settings before any traffic is generated.
How should we estimate usage?
Plans include virtual user-hours for load tests plus product caps such as concurrent runs and retention. The console remains the source of truth for checkout and account-specific usage.
How does the annual plan quota work?
When you subscribe to an annual plan, the full year's VU-hour allowance (12× the monthly figure) is granted immediately as a single pool for the entire 365-day term. There is no monthly reset — you can use the quota at whatever pace suits your testing schedule. If you downgrade before the year is up, any refund is prorated against the original annual plan price, capped at the unused portion of the term.
