BlazeMeter
Managed cloud execution for JMeter, Gatling, k6 and Selenium scripts.
What it is
BlazeMeter runs open-source load scripts on its own global infrastructure, adding distributed generation, real-time dashboards, trend comparison and enterprise reporting without requiring you to rewrite tests. It also bundles service virtualisation, test data generation and API monitoring. Broadcom owns it.
Best for
Where it is strong
- Runs your existing open-source scripts unchanged — no migration cost.
- Global load generation from many regions without owning infrastructure.
- Reporting and trend analysis suited to handing results to management.
Where it falls short
- Expensive relative to running the same open-source scripts on your own machines.
- Virtual-user pricing makes frequent large tests costly.
- Adds a vendor to a workflow that can function entirely on open source.
Pricing
From $149 per month (indicative entry plan)
Free tierFree tier: Free tier with a small virtual-user cap and limited test duration.
What drives the bill: Priced by concurrent virtual users. Large enterprise tests are a substantial annual commitment.
