Reviewer scorecard
“Best instruction-following of any model. Tool use and extended thinking are reliable. The API design is clean.”
“Clean UI, open source, and supports every protocol. The git-based sync is useful for teams.”
“Claude consistently produces the most useful outputs for real work. The longer context window is a genuine advantage.”
“Lighter than Postman and open source. For most API development needs, it's the right balance of features.”
“Anthropic's focus on safety without sacrificing capability is the right approach. Claude keeps getting better.”
“Functional but the UI isn't remarkable. It gets the job done without inspiring joy.”
