Postman
Postman · Developer & Infrastructure
The API development platform that defined the category, used by 30M+ developers at 500K+ companies. Positioned as the shared workspace for API design, testing, monitoring, and documentation. Distinctive for its collection-based workflow that made API testing collaborative before Insomnia and Bruno existed. Priced $14-$29/user/mo across Free/Basic/Professional plus custom Enterprise. Also offers Postman AI Agent Builder (2024 launch) for AI-powered API workflows. Founded 2014 in Bangalore, $5.6B valuation (2021 Series D). Public API network hosts 200K+ published APIs.
In other words, Postman is worth it for engineering teams (3-500 developers) that build, test, and consume APIs — particularly if you have more than 5 developers hitting the same API surface. Free covers solo learning + hobby projects (3 collaborators); Basic adds unlimited history and version control; Professional adds unlimited collaborators, SSO add-on, and 100K API calls; Enterprise adds SCIM, audit logs, and unlimited scale. Very easy setup (5-minute onboarding for anyone who's used curl). Native integrations with GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Slack, AWS, and 30+ dev tools. Downside: per-user pricing scales fast at Professional ($29/mo), and lightweight alternatives (Insomnia, Bruno, Hoppscotch) cover 80% of solo use cases for free.
