Knockout API vs Mockzilla

Knockout API provides image and video processing through a browser app and API. Its image tools cover background removal and replacement, batch processing, masking, smart crop, stickers, outlines, shadows, and inpainting; the API also handles upscaling, portrait restoration, colorization, and object removal. Video background removal runs asynchronously, with job polling for progress. The browser Canvas supports layered designs with text and effects, and users can save canvases and cutouts to a free account. Developers can connect through REST, any HTTP client, or official Node, React, Python, and CLI options. The service says it manages GPU processing, endpoint updates, usage records, credentials, teams, and billing. Its privacy policy says uploaded images are processed in GPU worker memory, not retained after the response, and not used to train models. The Free plan is free, with 30 images per month and 60 requests per minute. Pay-as-you-go is $0.02 a month, with metered usage billed monthly; Plus is $10 a month. Paid tiers have no monthly cap and a 600-request-per-minute limit.

Mockzilla turns OpenAPI specifications or plain JSON files into hosted mock APIs for frontend work, integration tests, and demos. It generates responses from OpenAPI schemas and can validate requests against the specification. Users can inject latency or errors at service or endpoint level to exercise retry and fallback behavior. A proxy can forward requests to a real backend while supplying mock responses for routes that backend does not serve. Its GitHub Action creates a mock URL for each pull request, updates it on pushes, and cleans it up when the branch is gone. Mockzilla records request status and timing, and supports replaying individual requests or sets of requests. The CLI is MIT-licensed, works offline, and can run on a laptop or in CI; hosted cloud features are optional. The site also lists a GitHub Action and MCP server, with CLI setup instructions for Claude and Gemini. The Free plan is free, but API access is unavailable and request history lasts two hours. Hobby costs $10 a month. Uploaded content must not contain personally identifiable information, real financial data, health records, credentials, or other sensitive data.
