Reviewer scorecard

Builder
80/100 · ship

Clean UI, open source, and supports every protocol. The git-based sync is useful for teams.

80/100 · ship

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

Skeptic
80/100 · ship

Lighter than Postman and open source. For most API development needs, it's the right balance of features.

80/100 · ship

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

Creator
45/100 · skip

Functional but the UI isn't remarkable. It gets the job done without inspiring joy.
