Best Alternative to Postman? (programming.dev)

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! ๐Ÿ™

It got enshittified. I went to use it one day and it wouldn't work without creating an account.

Aw man that really sucks. I moved to it back in the day after Postman got enshittified. The cycle continues I suppose

Ah shit. Time to make something from scratch then.

I use one of its forks called Insomnium which was forked right before compulsory login was added.

I use insomnia but many of the updates to it disrupt my workflow. I should probably find something else.
