Reqable
Traffic-capture proxy with a built-in REST client, free on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android.
In short
- The Community plan is free for all platforms, with limits such as 1 online device and 100MB storage1.
- Premium costs $49.90 a year ($4.16 a month) and raises the limit to 6 online devices and 1GB storage1.
- Official apps cover Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS3.
- Without signing in, collections are stored offline on your device8.
- Collections import from Postman, Swagger, Insomnia, Hoppscotch, cURL and HAR files8.
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.
