API client that respects your workflow, your data, and your budget
A lightweight desktop client built strictly for requests. One flat price, no usage meters
No login · No cloud lock-in · No AI training on your data
Trusted by 300,000+ developers
A faster, more flexible way to build and test APIs.
Start without signing in. Keep your collections local, sync with your team, or self-host, your call. Run a desktop client that stays light on your laptop. Pay one flat rate.
What Postman does well
A familiar API client most devs have used
- Full REST, GraphQL, and gRPC support
- Scripting, environments, and collection runs
- Massive library of public collections
- Broad ecosystem of integrations
Where it starts to hurt
The cost of staying on Postman
- Forced login before you can even send a request
- No true local-first or self-hosted option for teams
- Heavy desktop client with slow startup and UI bloat
Requestly fixes the four things Postman got wrong: no login required, complete data control, a lightweight client, and one flat price.
Things Requestly does differently.
Privacy by default, flexibility where it matters, and pricing that doesn't punish you for scaling.
Start sending requests in 60 seconds.
For developers who want to test, not sign up
Download the app. Open it. Send a request. That's the full onboarding. No account to create, no SSO dance with your IT team, no "sync to continue" dialog blocking your work. Your credentials and environments stay on your machine by default, you opt in to cloud, not out of it.
- Zero-account start, first request in under 60 seconds
- No telemetry or background sync without your consent
- Local collections are plain files you can delete, move, or commit
Local, cloud, or self-hosted, your call.
For teams whose security posture changes by project, not by tool
The only API client that adapts to your security needs instead of forcing you to work around it. Stay fully local with Git. Flip on real-time cloud sync for teammates who don't live in your repo. Or deploy the whole thing on your own infrastructure for compliance-heavy work.
- Local sync: plain files on your machine, version-controlled with Git
- Cloud sync: real-time Team Projects for instant collaboration
- Self-hosted: deploy on your servers, zero data leaves your network
A client built for executing requests. Nothing more.
For developers tired of waiting for the API client to load
A clean desktop client built strictly for executing requests. No embedded AI running in the background, no auto-modification of your headers, no heavy sync engine chewing through RAM. Open the app, hit your endpoint, see the response, the way it used to work.
- Instant startup, ready to send requests the moment it opens
- Low memory footprint that keeps your laptop breathing
- Simple UI with precise control, no auto-modification or noise

Questions Postman users ask us
Do I have to create an account to use Requestly?
No. Local Projects work entirely offline, plain files, no sign-up, no telemetry required. You only create an account if you opt into Team Projects for real-time sync.
Will my Postman collections import cleanly?
Yes. The one-click importer handles Postman collection v2.1 format, preserving folder structure, environments, auth, pre-request scripts, and tests. Nothing has to be re-keyed.
How is the free plan different from Postman's?
Postman's free plan is limited to one user as of March 2026. Requestly's free plan includes 10 collaborators and 3 Team Projects at no cost, so small teams don't hit a paywall on day one.
Will Requestly ever force cloud sync like Postman did?
No. That's a product commitment. Your local collections are plain files, you can walk away any time, take your data with you, and keep working with or without an account.
Does Requestly train AI on my API data?
No. Your requests, responses, environments, and tokens are never used to train AI models, not by us, not by third parties. It's written into our terms of service.
