Assertible vs Mockoon

Assertible tests and monitors APIs, websites, and other HTTP services for uptime, availability, and correct behavior. Users create HTTP assertions, inspect request details, and review assertion results. The service can run smoke tests automatically after deployments to staging or production environments. API tests can be imported and synchronized with OpenAPI or Swagger specifications and Postman collections. Integrations listed in its documentation include GitHub deployments and status checks, Slack, PagerDuty, and Zapier. Monitoring schedules range from once per minute to once per day, with shorter intervals available on paid plans. Plans limit services, tests per service, retained results, team members, and schedule frequency rather than monthly request counts. The Personal plan costs nothing and includes two web services, 10 tests per service, 1,000 results, one to two members, and Standard monitoring with two monitors. Paid plans are Standard at $25 a month, Startup at $50 a month, and Business at $100 a month; each includes a one-month trial.

Mockoon is a free, open-source tool for designing and running mock APIs locally. It supports OpenAPI and can fit into existing applications and API design workflows. Mock behavior can use dynamic templating, rule matching, JSON databases, proxy mode, webhooks, and TLS. The tool can record requests and responses from a real API to create mocks, and it supports proxying and integration testing. The open-source version permits unlimited mock APIs and routes, including parallel runs. Its CLI can run mocks in headless automated environments such as CI, GitHub Actions, and Docker; mocks can also run in serverless environments including AWS Lambda and GCP/Firebase Functions. The desktop app stores mocks locally, works offline without an account, and reports that mock content and request data are not sent to Mockoon. Pro adds real-time team collaboration, synchronized mocks, and deployment management on private infrastructure; it can be self-hosted on-premises, in a private cloud, or on isolated or air-gapped networks. Team is listed at €10 a month, billed annually at €120/license/year, tax excluded. Eligible companies can request one 14-day self-hosted Pro trial with five license slots using a verified work email, without a payment method.
