Postman became too expensive for teams. I found a free and better alternative

I was working with a friend on a side project, and we had been using Postman for API testing and collaboration for a long time. A few weeks ago, we realized we could no longer collaborate in Postman without paying. We Google it for answers and found shocking news, Postman had quietly changed its pricing and removed team collaboration from the free plan entirely. When we checked the new pricing (which is effective from March 2026), the Free plan had no team collaboration. Team collaboration now costs $19 per team member per month. That means: A team of 2 -  $38/month ($456/year) A team of 4 -  $76/month ($912/year) For a small side project that felt too much.

It is Open Source and has insane features that are actually better than Postman. It is a local-first API Client with Native Git Sync and robust free team collaboration. It also has HTTP Interceptor
