Firecamp vs SoapUI

Firecamp is an open-source, multi-protocol API platform with playgrounds for REST, GraphQL, WebSocket, and SocketIO APIs. It supports API collections and collaboration in shared workspaces, while guests can test requests before creating an account. Accounts add saved requests, collections, and team collaboration. REST tooling includes authentication, scripts, code snippets, interactive variables, headers, cookies, timelines, statistics, body mockers, and protocol support through HTTP 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0. GraphQL tools include an explorer, query collections, generated variables, multipart uploads, documentation browsing, history, and introspection. WebSocket and SocketIO playgrounds provide message or emitter collections and connection settings. Firecamp lists an API test runner plus CLI and CI/CD support for collection tests. The Free plan costs $0 per month for up to five seats. Team supports up to 15 seats at $49 per month billed yearly or $59 monthly. Enterprise pricing is custom.

SoapUI is an open-source tool for testing REST, SOAP, and GraphQL web services. It supports drag-and-drop creation of functional and regression tests, assertions, and data-driven tests, and can create service mocks from WSDL. The listed protocols also include JMS and SOAP/WSDL. Functional tests can be extended into load testing, including runs from command-line tools. Named automation integrations include Maven, Hudson, Bamboo, JUnit, and Ant, and SoapUI can run from other CI tools. It can configure incoming and outgoing WS-Security, including encryption, signatures, SAML, keystores, and truststores. SoapUI is described as cross-platform for Windows, Mac, and Linux/Unix. The open-source edition is listed for basic functional and performance testing; security testing appears among expanded capabilities associated with ReadyAPI. The listed SoapUI Open Source plan is free and includes API testing, mocking, and command-line automation. SmartBear describes it as a starting point for developers and testers, with support and a community forum linked on the site.
