Apidog vs EvoMaster

Apidog is an API platform for designing, debugging, mocking, testing, and documenting APIs, with GraphQL and SOAP support. Its specification-led workflow can generate request parameters, body content, and mock data, then check responses against specifications. For automated testing, users can arrange request sequences, add assertions, extract variables, and save requests as endpoint cases. It imports Postman data and supports Postman scripts. Database operations include MySQL, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and Oracle on Free; ClickHouse, MongoDB, and Redis are listed for paid tiers. The CLI can connect to Jenkins, GitHub, and GitLab, and activity notifications can go to Slack or webhook-compatible tools. Deployment choices include Global and Europe SaaS services and an on-premises option hosted on customer servers. Apidog says desktop requests travel directly from the user's computer to the target server, not through Apidog servers. The free plan is time-unlimited for four users; paid plans start at $9/user/mo (annual), with a 14-day trial.

EvoMaster is a free, open-source tool that uses fuzzing to generate system-level tests for web and enterprise applications. It targets REST, GraphQL, and RPC APIs, including gRPC and Thrift. Black-box mode works with APIs in any programming language, while white-box mode analyzes JVM bytecode. Generated tests can be JUnit 4 or 5 in Java or Kotlin, or suites in Python or JavaScript. More than 30 oracles check issues including HTTP 500 responses, schema mismatches, BOLA, and SQL injection. White-box testing can analyze SQL and MongoDB interactions with PostgreSQL, MySQL, H2, and MongoDB support. Authentication accepts headers and cookies, including tokens or cookies obtained from a login endpoint. REST testing requires OpenAPI 2.0, 3.0, or 3.1. PyPI is the recommended installation route, with Docker and an uber-fat JAR also available. EvoMaster runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, and self-hosted environments, and integrates with GitHub Actions through a custom action.
