What are some good alternatives to Postman?
Asked by

I've been using Postman for over ten years and I'm looking to switch things up a bit. I want a tool that aligns with my development needs, similar to how I prefer Svelte over React or Vue. Lately, I've noticed Postman has become bloated and is pushing cloud features that I'm not keen on. I've heard of Insomnia and Bruno as potential replacements, but I'd love to hear what others think! For context, I'm more of an experienced hacker than a formal software engineer, but I do have some interesting prototypes under my belt. I've worked with eight major API providers and used Postman to gather Fantasy Football research, which had its ups and downs. Let me know if I've posted this in the wrong spot!

Curl is a classic! It's simple and powerful if you prefer working in the terminal. Just depends on your workflow!

Httpie is another choice. It's not a direct GUI like Postman, but it's a great command-line tool if you're into that.

Insomnia is definitely a strong contender! It's really sleek and user-friendly, making it a popular choice for many developers looking for Postman alternatives.

Bruno's worth considering too. I haven't used it extensively, but I've heard good things about it.
