Postman is overrated. Insomnia REST API is way better. It’s free and open source. Postman’s free tier is limited and their team plans are expensive. You can do everything in Insomnia that you can do in Postman. Even if you needed to pay for Insomnia (If you need data sync or in a team) it's significantly cheaper than Postman.

Nice. I'll have to check out Insomnia! In full transparency, I used Postman simply because it's what I've heard others talking about - didn't really evaluate other options 🤦

For the sync part, there is also a free plugin that syncs to GitHub Gist 🎊🎊🎊
I have been using Insomnia for years now and I have wrote a couple of plugins for it.
insomnia.rest/plugins/insomnia-plu...

Oh sweet, that's pretty useful! Didn't know that. Now I really have no idea why people still use Postman haha
I guess because it came before Insomnia and people enjoying sticking with old technologies.

Thanks for commenting with that suggestion!
How insomnia (and postman) handle credentials in collections uploaded to the cloud for sync?
