Overview

CodeArts PerfTest provides the pay-per-use and package billing modes.

Pay-per-use is a postpaid billing mode. You pay as you go and just pay for what you use. The pressure test usage is calculated by the second but billed every hour.

Packages are prepaid. You need to pay first. If you set the duration of a package to One year, you can get two months free and only need to pay for 10 months.
