| Collections stored | Postman cloud workspaces | YAML files in your project |

A hosted platform with shared workspaces, monitoring and a free plan. Its client is proprietary, and the Team plan is priced per user, so open-source clients cost less for solo work. A local-first desktop client that stores requests as YAML files for Git. It is free for personal use and MIT-licensed, while work use needs a paid license, and its ecosystem is smaller than Postman's.
