Compare Postman
Learn why teams choose Postman over fragmented point tools, runtime-only gateways, and incomplete lifecycle systems. Stop stitching together fragmented tools. Postman delivers complete API collaboration that accelerates delivery, strengthens security, and scales across your organization.
Why Postman?
Tools that claim to be Postman alternatives only cover a fraction of API work. Postman brings everything into one platform.
Trusted by millions, ready for scale
Postman is the industry standard trusted by 40M+ developers and 98% of the Fortune 500, delivering proven ROI through measurable time savings, faster delivery cycles, and battle-tested reliability at enterprise scale.
APIs power business growth, customer experiences, and AI initiatives, but many Postman competitors fall short because they introduce risk when it comes time to scale and they lack the partnership organizations need to drive real transformation.
Security is built into every workflow
Postman's cloud-native security and compliance with robust data protection, centralized policy management, and CISO visibility give enterprises the confidence to scale securely.
Runtime-only tools act too late, fragmented stacks create risky gaps, and local tools create security blind spots. Postman is cloud-native and integrates seamlessly with your existing security and runtime stack, ensuring enterprise-grade protection without disruption. Enforce enterprise standards with SSO, RBAC, BYOK, SOC2/ISO compliance.
Complete API collaboration in one platform
One unified platform for designing, testing, documenting, and distributing APIs that integrates seamlessly with your existing systems while accelerating productivity with built-in AI.
Too often, teams rely on fragmented tools that create silos, leading to rework and wasted effort, which slow teams down and limit business impact. Postman is a collaborative platform that eliminates tool sprawl and scales with you by integrating with the broadest ecosystem in the industry, encompassing every major gateway, CI/CD pipelines, source control platforms, and your security stack.
Postman is where the world adopts APIs
Postman is the only open ecosystem purpose-built to turn APIs into adopted products at scale. It is home to the world's largest API ecosystem, turning API availability into adoption success at a global scale.
APIs only create value when they are adopted, but most enterprises struggle with public APIs that sit idle behind static documentation and partner APIs that fail to gain traction. Without adoption, even the best-designed APIs fail to deliver business impact. Postman operates the world's largest API network, comprising over 100,000 APIs from 18,000 companies, making APIs discoverable to the millions of developers who rely on the network to find verified solutions.
Postman is a one-stop shop for us as it supports different protocols. Being able to stay in one platform reduces friction and optimizes productivity.”
