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! 🙏
Have you tried Hoppscotch yet?
This is my official recommendation. It aims to be a drop-in replacement of Postman. They don’t have pre/post-execution scripts at the collection level (only at the request level) and there are a few other features missing but they are making pretty good progress.
I say official because I was on my company’s committee to switch to a new API tool. Though I personally felt that we should have just paid for Postman. But our business risk team didn’t like the terms that Postman had.
Yeah we moved from Postman to Hoppscotch and I think it’s pretty decent.
Hopscotch is the one I’ve been recommending, but it has a “use us before we also enshitify” vibe, so I’m going to check out Insomnium, the open fork of Insomnia.
