MockAPI vs Mockfly

MockAPI lets users create REST API endpoints, generate custom data, and operate on it through a RESTful interface. Each project receives a unique base URL shared by its endpoints. Users define resource schemas and field-level generators, including Faker.js functions such as lorem.sentences and datatype.boolean. Relations between resources can be configured, with endpoints generated automatically. Generated resources support GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE operations. Listed query capabilities include pagination, sorting, filtering, data generation, and customizable responses, and OpenAPI import is supported. The service is described for prototyping, testing, and learning. Documentation covers projects, resources, data generation, code examples, filtering, pagination, and relations. The Free plan costs nothing for 1 project and 2 resources. Paid monthly access costs $5 a month, and paid annual access costs $35 a year; each paid plan allows 20 projects and 50 resources. Custom endpoints and webhooks are marked coming soon.

Mockfly provides hosted mock REST API endpoints for teams building or testing before a backend is ready. An endpoint can return JSON, XML, or files such as PDFs and CSVs, and can select among several responses using rules tied to incoming requests. Mock data can use Faker.js templates or AI-generated JSON. Projects can start from OpenAPI, Swagger, Postman collection, or HAR imports; a Chrome extension can capture browser requests and add selected endpoints. Teams can share and edit mocks, inspect request logs, and review response-body history. For offline work, the mockfly-cli npm package pulls projects to serve locally. A public REST API and MCP server support programmatic mock creation and editing. Mockfly lists API, extension, Linux, self-hosted, and web platforms, and supports REST and WebSocket. The free Starter plan allows 500 requests per day, one project, four endpoints, and two responses per endpoint. Pro costs €15 a month; Team costs €49 a month; Company is listed from €199 a month.
