Reviewer scorecard
“Too expensive for what it offers. Plenty of open-source alternatives.”
“In an era of AI agents that can call APIs directly, do we still need a GUI for API testing? The future might be AI testing APIs autonomously.”
“Fast, reliable, and the docs are actually good. Ship.”
“Still the best API development environment. Postbot generating tests from your API schema saves hours. Collections shared across teams are essential.”
“It has gotten bloated over the years but the core functionality is unmatched. The AI features are genuinely useful, not just checkbox items.”
