Apidog vs Hoppscotch

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.

Hoppscotch is a collaborative, open-source platform for creating, testing, documenting and sharing APIs. Its client supports HTTP, GraphQL, WebSocket, Socket.IO, MQTT and Server-Sent Events. Testing tools include pre-request scripts, post-request tests, environment variables, request history and collection runners. Teams can use shared workspaces, access-level roles and real-time collaboration, and the platform can be deployed on their own servers. Users can migrate from Postman, Insomnia and cURL, then generate code snippets in various languages and frameworks. Hoppscotch describes its data storage as local-first and says it has no tracking, analytics or ads. The free plan includes REST, GraphQL and realtime API testing, a personal workspace, collections and environments, scripts and tests, a collection runner and community support. Organization is $6 a month when billed annually. Business is $6 per user/month billed annually, while Enterprise is $11 per user/month billed annually. Enterprise includes identity and access management, audit logs and priority Slack Connect support. Hoppscotch supports more than 30 languages and is listed for API, Linux, macOS, self-hosted, web and Windows.
