# Compare Performate with other load-testing tools

Canonical HTML: https://performate.app/compare

Performate is a Windows desktop k6 workspace—not k6 Studio, not JMeter, and not a one-shot CLI converter. Use these pages when you need a citable, side-by-side answer for API and QA teams.

## vs Grafana k6 Studio

Studio records flows and generates scripts. Performate runs objective-based k6 tests with Postman import, thresholds, and shareable reports.

## vs k6 CLI

Same k6 engine. Performate adds a desktop workspace so collections, variables, live metrics, and reports are not scattered across terminal and spreadsheets.

## vs Apache JMeter

JMeter is a Java GUI across many protocols. Performate is k6-first JavaScript for HTTP/API teams who already live in Postman and k6.

## vs postman-to-k6 CLI

The converter emits a script once. Performate imports collections into a workspace so the migration survives the next release.
