Reviewer scorecard
“API collections in git, no account required, and offline-first. This is how API clients should work.”
“The free tier is incredibly generous. Multimodal capabilities and grounding with Google Search are unique advantages.”
“One-time purchase vs subscription is refreshing. Git-native collections mean your API tests are version-controlled.”
“Google's track record of killing products is concerning, but the Gemini API is too useful to ignore.”
“Offline-first, git-native tools represent a pushback against SaaS subscriptions. Bruno leads this movement in API tools.”
“Google's data advantage and multimodal-first approach make Gemini a serious contender in the model race.”
