Been using Postman for years, but lately it's started to feel heavy for what our team actually needs. Collections that don't live in Git, writing scripts for every multi-step flow, and the bill going up every time someone new joins. So I went looking at what else is out there. Bruno is nice if you want everything in plain files in your repo. Hoppscotch works straight from the browser, and you can self-host it. Thunder Client is handy if you never want to leave VS Code. Insomnia is still solid for GraphQL and gRPC. If you're a Java shop, REST Assured makes more sense than any GUI tool. The one that surprised me was Keploy. Instead of writing tests by hand, it records real API traffic and turns it into tests and mocks. Took a lot of the boring work off my plate. Postman is still fine for quick manual checks. For automation and CI, though, I'd look elsewhere. Wrote up a longer comparison here if anyone's deciding: https://keploy.io/blog/community/postman-alternative
