API Portal vs Port

API Portal is a central platform for building, testing, managing and documenting APIs. Its catalog provides a shared place to manage APIs and lets developers find them through self-service discovery. API Explorer supports interactive walkthroughs and browser-based tryouts, while a CLI and REST API can automate specification updates in deployment pipelines. Supported specifications include OpenAPI, Swagger, RAML, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema and GraphQL. Version management can detect breaking changes, generate changelogs from specification differences and apply deprecation policies with sunset timers. Ready-made CI/CD integrations are listed for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI and Jenkins. Teams can set granular permissions for viewing, testing and consuming APIs; enterprise setups can use SSO and SAML. The company says data is hosted in EU data centers in Frankfurt and that it is GDPR-compliant. Enterprise offers on-premise deployment. Starter includes up to five APIs and three team members; Professional offers unlimited APIs and 25 team members; Enterprise includes unlimited teams. Pricing is on request, and a 14-day trial is available; there is no free plan.
