FAQs
-
How is Gatling Enterprise Edition different from the Community Edition?
Gatling Community Edition is free and ideal for small-scale testing. Gatling Enterprise Edition builds on it with advanced features like distributed load generation, real-time dashboards, CI/CD integrations, AI analysis, and enterprise-grade security. -
What are test credits or minutes?
1 credit equals a 1-minute test using 1 load generator. This calculation applies to both fully-managed (Public) and self-managed (Private) load generators. Gatling uses test credits/minutes as units in its usage-based pricing model. -
How do I estimate the price for my project?
Please contact our sales team. Each plan comes with a base amount of consumption (minutes of testing, load generators, users) included in the price. Your account will not be blocked if you go over that base consumption amount, but you won't be able to continue testing without purchasing additional units. -
How do I control costs with Gatling?
Gatling includes quotas, stop-criteria, and usage dashboards. These guardrails prevent runaway tests, make spending predictable, and help you optimize cloud usage.
