FAQ: How can you charge so little/so much?

FAQ 2 Responses »
Nov 252008

Two of the most common questions we get also happen to be contradictory:

  • How can you charge so little?
  • How can you charge so much?

To be fair, depending on your perspective these are both very legitimate questions.

The short answers to these questions are:

  • We can charge as little as we do because we keep our costs very low. We don’t need 95% profit margins and we’re quite happy building a small-but-efficient business.
  • When you factor in the total cost of a load test (man hours, training, scripting, hardware set up), we think we are actually a great deal when compared to even Do-It-Yourself options.

BrowserMob officially opened for business today. While there are still several last-minute items to do (our FAQ is still not fully answered), we’ve decided that after months of polish and preparation, we’re now ready to open up BrowserMob to the public.

So what is it?

BrowserMob is the world’s first load testing service that uses real browsers (Firefox 3.0.3 to be exact). It’s on-demand, low-cost, and super easy to get started with. And best of all: you only have to pay for what you use.

What real browsers?

We’re only a day or two from officially launching BrowserMob. The only holdups are documentation and our new logo. The logo is out of our hands (we have an excellent graphic designer helping us out), but the documentation is definitely something we can wrap up on our own.

Since this blog serves as both our blog and our documentation, you can find the documentation as we wrap it up today and tomorrow right here.
