When to choose OctoPerf
OctoPerf is designed for engineering teams that need to run reliable and scalable performance tests without managing complex load testing infrastructure.
It is particularly suited for organizations that want to industrialize their load testing practices and make performance testing accessible to a broader group of developers, QA engineers, and DevOps teams.
Typical situations where OctoPerf is a good choice
Large-scale load testing
OctoPerf is well suited for teams that need to simulate thousands or millions of concurrent users in order to validate the scalability of web applications, APIs, or distributed systems.
The platform provides scalable load generation capabilities in both cloud and on-premises environments.

Teams looking for an alternative to expensive legacy tools
Many organizations look for modern alternatives to traditional performance testing tools that are complex to operate or expensive to scale.
OctoPerf provides a platform designed to make large-scale performance testing simpler, collaborative, and cost-efficient.
Its pricing model is transparent and flexible, allowing teams to run unlimited tests with parallel executions.

Teams already using Apache JMeter™
Organizations that already use Apache JMeter™ can benefit from OctoPerf's platform to:
- Build and maintain test scripts more easily using OctoPerf's scripting studio,
- Onboard more engineers into the load testing practice,
- Run distributed load tests without managing infrastructure,
- Analyze test results using advanced reporting and analytics,
- Integrate performance tests into CI/CD pipelines.
OctoPerf extends the JMeter™ ecosystem with enterprise-grade capabilities, while allowing teams to import and reuse their existing JMeter scripts.

Enterprise and restricted environments
Some organizations cannot run performance tests exclusively in the cloud.
OctoPerf supports secure testing environments, allowing teams to run load generators:
- In the cloud,
- Entirely on-premises,
- Across hybrid infrastructures.
This approach is particularly useful for companies with security, compliance, or network constraints.

DevOps and CI/CD performance testing
Modern software teams increasingly integrate performance testing into their DevOps workflows.
OctoPerf enables teams to run automated performance tests as part of CI/CD pipelines, helping detect performance regressions earlier in the development lifecycle.

When a paid OctoPerf license may not be necessary
A paid OctoPerf license may not be required for teams that only need:
- Small local performance tests,
- Simple single-user testing,
- Basic testing without distributed load generation.
In these cases, everything can be done with a free OctoPerf account.
The free plan includes 50 virtual users and access to all OctoPerf features, making it suitable for small-scale testing and learning performance testing practices.
