The cost of the license is quite high. The licensing cost for ReadyAPI, at least for the current license I have, covers both general and security testing.
We have a floating license that is shared by multiple users. The solution is dynamically priced so you only pay for what you use. For example, I do API testing and service virtualization in the solution. If someone does not want service virtualization, they are not charged for it. Pricing based on use is a very good thing because products offer a wide range of capabilities but 60-70% of them rarely get used. For the solution, you simply add whatever you want to use and are billed accordingly. I rate pricing an eight out of ten.
It is more expensive than other API testing tools. For example, Postman is an open source tool and is free to use. ReadyAPI is a commercial tool and licenses. need to be purchased. It costs approximately $200 000 Taiwan Dollars for three years. I would rate the pricing a six out of ten.
We have approximately 12 licenses in place. There are other solutions that are more expensive than ReadyAPI that have more features, but if the scope of the project is limited to SOAP and REST service, then this is the best option. If I compare the price of ReadyAPI with DevTest, DevTest is a lot less expensive. We have approximately 19 DevTest licenses, five ServiceV Pro licenses, and two web servers. The total cost is approximately $19,000 USD using ReadyAPI and a similar setup with DevTest would be at least $50,000 USD. All the features are included with the license with ReadyAPI.
I'm not familiar with the pricing specifics, but I would say it's somewhere in the middle. I don't think it's too expensive. I would give the pricing a three out of five. The thing with ReadyAPI is that you have to buy different licenses for different purposes. The license that we have is mainly for functional testing, but if you want to run security tests or scans, you need to purchase a separate license. If you want to run performance tests, you need a separate license. I am not aware of one single license available for all the features of ReadyAPI, but it would be nice for them to have one license for everything rather than having individual separate licenses.
Each user needs to be licensed, and there are different licenses within the product. It starts with 750 euros for a single user per year, but for the full product features, you need to pay a lot more. This cost is for functional testing, and then there is a cost for load testing and virtual services. If you want to use these areas with the functional test license, you are limited. If you have all three licenses, then you have full functionality for the API.
ReadyAPI requires a product license and a subscription, which is renewable every year or three years. Its pricing is very reasonable, unlike more expensive competitors like Tosca, XPlant, or Catalon.
The price was around $6,000 for one license, but I don't remember exactly. It is definitely expensive. Our organization was planning on having multiple licenses for this year.
The cost of a license is probably around $1,000 to $2,000. Accounting is done by my leadership. I am more into implementations and making sure all things and processes are taken care of and the frameworks are maintained and managed.

When it comes to large enterprise, ReadyAPI is good. They also sell specific additional products but they don't force you to buy the complete package. You can select and purchase whichever products you want. The price is reasonable and I don't think it's very high, because of the flexibility - anyone can buy any product at any time.

The price of the solution has been fine.
Licensing costs are yearly. There are costs in addition to the licensing fee. For example, if you want to add the load testing you would pay more.

This is a cheap solution when you consider the money that will be saved in testing.
