Insomnia — Free Plan for Startups

Deal Highlights

Insomnia — API Client for Developers Who Need More Than Postman

Insomnia is an open-source API client for testing REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and WebSocket APIs. With a clean interface, environment management, and Git sync, Insomnia provides a focused API testing experience without the feature bloat that Postman has accumulated.

Focused API Testing

Postman has evolved into a full API platform with collaboration, monitoring, and documentation. Insomnia stays focused on the core task: sending requests, inspecting responses, and debugging APIs. Less complexity, faster workflow.

Multi-Protocol Support

REST with full HTTP method support. GraphQL with schema introspection and auto-complete. gRPC with protobuf support. WebSocket for real-time API testing. One tool for all API types.

Environment Management

Variables for different environments — development, staging, production. Switch environments without editing requests. Chain responses into subsequent requests for complex API workflows.

Insomnia vs Postman

Postman is a full API platform with team collaboration, monitors, and documentation. Insomnia is a focused client for individual developers. Postman for team API management. Insomnia for personal API testing speed.
