38/100

#11 of 11 API clients
Facts checked 8 Oct 2026

In short

Reqable suits developers who debug app traffic as well as call REST APIs, and want apps on five systems with a free plan1,3. The catch: its docs show no GraphQL, gRPC, CLI, collection runner, mock server or API docs publishing, and the app is not open source4,6,12.

Best for: Developers who want to capture app traffic and send REST requests in one tool.
