Hey!

I’m currently hitting the limits with Postman’s free tier and need your recommendations for alternatives. My company isn’t planning to upgrade to the paid version, so I’m specifically looking for:

Must-have features:

  • Unlimited API requests
  • Collection runner or similar batch testing capability
  • Data import from spreadsheets for test automation
  • The collection runner feature is crucial for my workflow: I heavily rely on being able to import Excel data to generate and map multiple API calls without manual setup.

Has anyone switched from Postman to something else that offers these capabilities? What’s your experience been like?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions! 🙏

    Like what?

    I make backends, very complex, yet curl does it all, headers, files, any data, whatever.

    Need to test an API? Swagger will help everyone.

    You need reproducible tests? Write feature tests.

    Need to do many requests to achieve a business goal? Put it into a script. Shell is sufficient for basic needs, use anything that can be interpreted for anything more complex. Though at that point you should have an app to handle distributed states, which is never a fun time.

        You want to tell me that Postman/whatever is a replacement for feature tests or Swagger?

        Oh hell naw
