Postman
Postman is a collaborative API platform for building, testing, and documenting APIs. · Postman · DevOps & CI
Overview
Postman offers a free single-user plan for API testing, making it ideal for individuals to build and document APIs. Team collaboration needs a paid plan.
Good fit
Use Postman to quickly test, debug, and document APIs as an individual; the free plan does not include team collaboration.
- API developers
- QA engineers
- students
- solo developers
Not a fit
Avoid if you need team collaboration, shared workspaces, or more than 1,000 monitoring requests a month, as these require paid plans.
- You need enterprise features
- You require unlimited monitoring
