Altair GraphQL Client vs Testfully

Altair GraphQL Client is an IDE for running and debugging GraphQL queries, mutations and subscriptions. It formats queries, supports file uploads using the multipart specification, and can export query collections. Users can set environment variables for endpoints, headers and queries, then browse schema types and operations in a documentation explorer. Pre-request and post-request scripts and an extensible plugin system add customization options. Altair GraphQL Cloud provides centralized query management, collections, query versioning and shareable query URLs. Official integration packages include Express middleware, Koa middleware, a static build and a Gatsby plugin. The free Basic plan lists up to two team members and 20 queries; Pro costs $7.99 a month per user and lists unlimited team members, teams and queries. The client is available as a web app and on desktop platforms, including Linux, macOS and Windows, with extension and self-hosted options. The maker says the web app is for quick or one-time use, not full development, because it has limitations. Documentation warns that introspection can expose an API schema and that Content Security Policy support is beta.

Testfully is an API testing and monitoring platform with web, desktop and browser extension options. Its client supports RESTful, GraphQL and XML APIs, with cloud or local offline storage. Testing tools include no-code response validation, contract testing, request chaining, folder runners and scripts; the CLI can run tests in CI/CD pipelines. Users can import data from Postman or Insomnia, and the product supports OpenAPI Specification.

Monitoring can reuse workspace requests, retain a history of runs and send alerts through email, SMS, Slack or PagerDuty. Teams can assign roles and control folder access. The free Developer Edition includes core features and commercial use, one offline and one cloud workspace, and up to five invited users per workspace. Offline workspaces can be used without an account. Team Edition costs $14 a month per user when billed annually; Enterprise Edition costs $29 a month per user when billed annually. Paid plans have a 14-day free trial enabled by contacting sales. Desktop apps support macOS 12 or later, Windows 10 or later (64-bit), and Ubuntu 20+ and compatible Linux distributions. Browser extensions are listed for Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge; Safari is marked as coming soon. Testfully says it was made in Australia and is headquartered in Sydney.
