As Katalon Studio initially promised that its free and always free. So Katalon Studio should not be paid tool. Its run by the community and built on open source so it should be free.

This is a very simple product to use. Coming from the days of LoadRunner where creating load testing scripts took weeks. I was able to create and execute my load test in less than a week. The customer service was exceptional. Highly recommended.
