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! 🙏

    It’s almost 30 years old. Not to knock cURL, it’s a staple for sure.

    HTTPie and xh claim to have a more intuitive UX. If the functionality is comparable, I choose tools written in memory-safe languages by default.

      If being over 30 is “not modern”, OK, sure, but that’s a bit subjective.

      The fuctionality is hardly comparable, cURL supports many protocols. As for memory safety it’s trendy and modern but it hardly makes sense to rewrite such a project in a memory-safe language. It’s been tried though (for some components) and the project lead’s open to that.
