I've been using Postman's free plan for API testing for quite a while, but I'm starting to feel like it's too limited with user restrictions and collection runs. I'm considering whether it's time to upgrade to their paid version or if I should look into other tools for API testing. What are your thoughts?

I can't stand Postman lately. It’s just become super annoying to navigate, and there are plenty of free alternatives out there that don't bombard you with pop-ups or force you to log in for simple tasks. Convenience doesn't equal quality, and many of these tools can be replicated without the hassle.
Honestly, I would suggest sticking with open-source tools like xUnit. Paid tools like Postman might have their perks but if you're just tinkering with APIs, free alternatives can get the job done just fine. If I were paying for something, I'd want a more comprehensive solution that covers full API testing alongside UI testing—like chaos monkey features and CI/CD integration.
We automate our API testing using Rest Assured. I’m a bit puzzled about why you’d even need an external tool for this kind of testing. Isn’t that typically handled by developers or in testing? It feels like something DevOps deals with these days.
