About
Loader.io is a cloud-based load testing service for web applications and API endpoints. It lets developers register a target host through the web interface or API, run tests that simulate concurrent connections, and monitor results in real time.
The free plan includes 10,000 clients per test, one target host, one-minute tests, and two URLs per test. The service also offers a Pro plan with higher limits, unlimited target hosts, longer tests, and additional analytics and team features.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is a capped but genuinely usable monthly plan, not a trial: it renews forever, but it limits test size, duration, target hosts, and URLs. The cheapest paid plan is $99.95/month, and the free tier gives about 25% of that plan’s headline capacity (10,000 vs 100,000 clients per test, plus much tighter host and duration limits), so a reasonable buyer-value estimate is about $25/month.
