Almost none. We designed Artillery Pro to be usable without any DevOps experience. You need to provide an AWS account, and Artillery Pro can take care of everything else.

With built-in AWS Fargate support Artillery Pro can run in 100% "serverless" mode, i.e. there won't be any infrastructure (such as EC2 instances) for your team to manage.

That said however, since Artillery Pro runs in your own AWS account, it's possible to use standard AWS mechanisms to deeply integrate Artillery Pro with your existing infrastructure requirements if needed (for example by peering Artillery Pro's VPC to other VPCs to be able to test internal services deployed in those VPCs).

Trial licenses (14 days) are available on request. Please get in touch on sales@artillery.io to have one set up for you.

Artillery Pro is billed monthly or annually. Payment methods other than payment cards are supported but incur an extra processing fee of 10%.

An Artillery Pro license is tied to an AWS account. One license may be used with one AWS account. There are no per-seat or per-host charges.

Drop us a line on support@artillery.io if you need to move a license to another account.

Cost of AWS resources used to run tests with Artillery Pro will vary depending on multiple factors such as:

• how many tests are being run
• duration of each test run
• the nature of the tests themselves, e.g. amount of data sent over the network or CPU usage etc
• the scale of test runs, i.e. the number of Artillery Pro workers in a test run

The cost is likely to be a fraction of the cost of running the same volume and frequency of tests using other solutions, since you're getting the lowest possible price directly from AWS.

Since Artillery Pro runs in your own AWS account, it can benefit from any existing cost-reduction strategies already employed in your organization, e.g. by running Artillery Pro tests on existing ECS clusters comprised of reserved instances or spot instances.

If you don't operate any ECS clusters already, you can use Artillery Pro's Fargate support to run your tests in a "serverless" fashion with underlying infrastructure being provisioned and billed for on-demand.
