In their own words
Beeceptor
Beeceptor is a developer-focused API simulation platform for mocking services, virtualizing them, testing contracts, and simulating failures. It supports HTTP, HTTPS, HTTP/2, mTLS, REST/OpenAPI, SOAP, GraphQL, and gRPC. Users can build no-code mocks with request-matching rules and set response status codes, headers, and bodies. Uploading an OpenAPI specification can create a populated mock server with AI-generated data. Beeceptor can proxy requests to live backends, record traffic, and switch to mock behavior when a backend is unavailable. Latency, timeouts, and errors can be simulated to check client resilience. Its CLI exposes a localhost service through a public HTTPS URL and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Management APIs support mock-server configuration, while MCP connectivity supports AI agents including Claude and Cursor. API Connections store OAuth credentials and generate tokens for outbound requests. Beeceptor says it is SOC 2 Type II audited, adheres to ISO 27001, and complies with GDPR; it also says data is encrypted in transit and at rest. The free plan has public endpoints, a 1 MB request payload limit, and cleanup rules for unclaimed endpoints.
WireMock
WireMock Cloud provides simulated API environments for software development, testing and AI coding workflows. It supports REST, GraphQL, gRPC, Kafka and SOAP, and can import mocks from Postman, HAR files, OpenAPI or Swagger, and WireMock open source. WireMock Runner can record APIs, including internal services behind a corporate firewall, then run simulations locally or in CI/CD. A remote MCP server and Agent Skills work with named clients including Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, VS Code and Augment. The free plan costs nothing and allows one user, three mock APIs, 1,000 calls/month and 10 requests per second, with a limited CLI for local recording. Mocks stop when the monthly call quota is exceeded and resume at the next billing-cycle reset. Enterprise pricing is by tailored quote and includes unlimited calls and team members subject to the license agreement, statefulness, AI features, hybrid deployment, priority support and an SLA. WireMock Cloud is built on the open-source WireMock API mocking platform.
