About Requestly

Requestly is an API client designed for developers and teams who want to manage, test, and design APIs with a focus on data privacy and local control. Unlike many cloud-based tools, Requestly stores collections and data locally or in Git repositories, supporting workflows that require versioning and offline access. It offers features such as REST, GraphQL, SOAP, and gRPC support, scripting, environment variables, and AI-powered test generation. Collaboration is enabled through shared workspaces and Git-based sync. The platform is available as a desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux, with paid plans starting at $10 per user per month and a 30-day free trial.

Best for: software developers, API testers, engineering teams, enterprise IT departments
