Reviewer scorecard
“API collections in git, no account required, and offline-first. This is how API clients should work.”
“Still the most used JS testing framework. Massive ecosystem of matchers, plugins, and documentation.”
“One-time purchase vs subscription is refreshing. Git-native collections mean your API tests are version-controlled.”
“Vitest does everything Jest does faster with better ESM support. New projects should start with Vitest.”
“Offline-first, git-native tools represent a pushback against SaaS subscriptions. Bruno leads this movement in API tools.”
“Jest defined modern JS testing but Vitest is the future. The migration is happening steadily.”
