Desktop API client with scripts, tests, mock servers, Git-backed local projects and a SOC 2 Type 2 certification.

68/100

#7 of 11 API clients
Facts checked 8 Oct 2026

In short

Requestly, a BrowserStack product6, suits teams that want scripts, tests, mock servers, published docs and Git storage in one desktop client, and a SOC 2 Type 2 certification it announced in 20245,12,16. The catch: the app is proprietary, the pricing page lists no free plan, and the cheapest plan is $10 per user a month from five seats1,4.

Best for: Teams that want Git-based collections, mock servers and published docs in one client.
