Pay for more build or load testing

Your Visual Studio Online account includes free amounts of these services:

• Build: 60 minutes per month
• Load testing: 20,000 virtual user minutes per month

When you stay within these free limits, you won't have any charges for using these services in your account. These amounts are shared across your account.

If you need to pay for more capacity, first link your Visual Studio Online account to a Microsoft Azure subscription. Your Azure subscription has the necessary billing information; you won’t set this up separately for Visual Studio Online. After you set up this link, you’ll buy more capacity through the Azure Management Portal. You'll see this updated capacity on your Visual Studio Online account's home page.
