About ReqBin
ReqBin sends API requests from the browser and shows the status code, response time and content of each response. The site says all data is transmitted only over secure SSL channels. Basic use needs no account or installation, so it works for quick checks on a machine without tools.
The Premium plan is listed at $15 a year, billed yearly, and its page says it adds unlimited saved projects, managed shared requests and increased request limits. Because the tool runs in the browser, it suits quick checks more than full test suites. Developers who want a desktop client may compare Bruno or Hoppscotch, which are both in this ranking.
