You get unlimited functional tests, basic load testing, security testing, and full access to the Groovy scripting engine. This version works great for individual developers and small teams.

For teams wanting advanced features, ReadyAPI is the commercial version starting at approximately $6,449 per year per user. ReadyAPI adds data-driven testing without coding, visual test creation, advanced reporting, native Git integration, and faster test execution. It also includes priority support and regular updates.

There is also a free trial available for ReadyAPI, letting you test all premium features before buying. Enterprise pricing is available for large teams and can be customized based on your specific needs and number of users.
