Hoppscotch is a light, open source API client that runs in the browser and ranks fourth for ease of use and value. The free plan covers REST, GraphQL and realtime API testing with collections, environments, pre-request scripts and tests, a collection runner and code snippets, which is enough for a developer checking endpoints day to day. Business at $6 per user a month billed annually adds team workspaces with real-time collaboration, shared collections and environments, API documentation publishing, API mocking, MCP server support, an admin dashboard and email support. Enterprise at $11 adds SAML SSO, OpenID Connect, SCIM, role-based access, AI agent features and audit logs, with priority support through Slack Connect. The pricing page lists both a cloud and a self-host edition, which suits teams that keep tools on their own servers. Test automation is simpler than in Postman or Apidog, so heavier QA suites may outgrow it.
