## Best for

Teams that want Postman-style API work without forcing every collection into a vendor cloud.

## Why it deserves attention

Requestly combines an API client, environment and variable management, GraphQL, SOAP and gRPC, request chaining, assertions, an AI test-case generator, and a CLI for CI. Local Projects keep collections as files on disk so they can live in Git, while an encrypted Vault handles secrets that should not be exported. It has been used by more than 300,000 developers and ships on macOS, Windows, Linux, and the web. The free tier covers individual use; team workspaces, SSO, and audit logs sit behind paid plans, and the repository is a community hub rather than the full product source.
