Reviewer scorecard

Builder
80/100 · ship

API collections in git, no account required, and offline-first. This is how API clients should work.

80/100 · ship

The free tier is genuinely usable. Rare for this category.

Skeptic
80/100 · ship

One-time purchase vs subscription is refreshing. Git-native collections mean your API tests are version-controlled.

80/100 · ship

This is the kind of tool that makes you wonder how you worked without it.

Futurist
80/100 · ship

Offline-first, git-native tools represent a pushback against SaaS subscriptions. Bruno leads this movement in API tools.
