Hoppscotch vs SoapUI

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.

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.
