Requestly review

Requestly is a Git-native API client for organizing requests, testing APIs, and automating collections. You can group API requests, inspect responses, set environment variables for local, staging, and production values, and write assertions for response status, body, and schema. The collection runner executes requests in order; the listed Team plan includes manual and scheduled runs, and Requestly also supports running collections through its CLI in CI.

The product supports REST, GraphQL, SOAP, gRPC, WebSocket, Socket.IO, and MQTT, according to the pricing details. Local Projects store collections as files and can sync with GitHub or GitLab. Requestly also offers team workspaces and self-hosting, and desktop apps for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Its plans target teams building and testing APIs, with a higher-priced option for organizations that want additional lifecycle-management features.

The clearest reason to consider Requestly is its combination of API testing and Git-based project storage. Collections can live as local files and sync with GitHub or GitLab, which gives teams a way to keep API work alongside their existing version-control workflow. The Team plan also covers a broad set of protocols and imports, rather than limiting teams to REST.

• Team costs $10 per user per month with annual billing, according to the pricing page, and includes unlimited manual and scheduled collection runs.
• It supports GraphQL, SOAP, gRPC, WebSocket, Socket.IO, and MQTT, as well as REST.
• Imports include Postman, OpenAPI, HAR, cURL, WSDL, SoapUI, and Bruno. Team also includes basic API docs with shareable links.
• Team Pro costs $15 per user per month with annual billing and adds unlimited AI credits, AI-generated tests and assertions, advanced reporting and analytics, a secret scanner, and external vault integrations.

For a team replacing separate API-request and collection-testing workflows, those inclusions make the annual Team price easier to assess against its current tool bill.

There is no free plan listed. Requestly offers a 30-day free trial, then the published entry price is $10 per user per month on annual billing. Team Pro is $15 per user per month annually. The pricing page marks those prices as 17% off, but monthly-billing prices are not published, so teams paying month to month cannot compare the actual cost from the published pricing details. Enterprise pricing is custom and annual.

The listed Team plan has unlimited manual and scheduled collection runs, but the pricing details do not state caps for seats, projects, storage, or other usage. That leaves some practical cost questions unanswered before a larger rollout. Enterprise does list self-hosting, SAML SSO, SCIM, role controls, audit logs with SIEM export, and data residency; those requirements may mean the custom-priced tier is the relevant one for organizations that need them.

The published Reddit material offers little evidence about API-client experience: one thread asks about Requestly but does not provide substantive user reports. We would treat community feedback as inconclusive, not as validation.

Requestly has no free plan. The pricing page lists Team at $10 per user/month with annual billing and Team Pro at $15 per user/month annually—a $5 per-seat difference, or 50% above Team. Annual billing is marked 17% off, but monthly-billing prices are not published, so the month-to-month cost is unknown. A 30-day free trial is listed.

Team includes unlimited manual and scheduled collection runs, local projects with GitHub/GitLab sync, basic API docs, and support for REST, GraphQL, SOAP, gRPC, WebSocket, Socket.IO and MQTT. Team Pro adds unlimited AI credits, AI-generated tests and assertions, advanced reporting and analytics, secret scanning, and external vault integrations. Enterprise is custom annual pricing and adds SAML SSO, SCIM, attribute-based RBAC, audit logs with SIEM export, data residency, self-hosting and priority support.

No add-ons are listed. The $5-per-user tier difference grows with team size, while Enterprise has no published price. Compare annual totals before switching; monthly prices are not published.

Requestly lists imports from Postman, OpenAPI, HAR, cURL, WSDL, SoapUI and Bruno, which gives teams several routes for bringing existing API work over. Its local projects can sync with GitHub or GitLab, and the product is described as Git-native. Keeping collections in Git may make them easier to manage outside a hosted workspace, but the published information does not specify export formats or whether tests, environments and other project details transfer cleanly. Check those details before moving production collections.

Leaving may be simpler if your work is already stored as local files and synced to Git; the available information does not confirm a complete export path. Self-hosting is listed as an Enterprise feature, so teams that need that option should account for the custom annual price. We don’t have Reddit posts or comments in the published material, so we can’t reliably say what users report as reasons for leaving Requestly.
