Simple, fast & powerful
Requestly provides a user-friendly and modern interface curated by UX experts.

Zero setup
Just install Requestly in your browser and you are good to go in a few clicks while in Charles you need to install the application, manage system-level proxy settings, and install an SSL certificate.
No VPN Issue like Charles Proxy
Since Charles Proxy overrides system-level proxy settings, it doesn’t work well inside corporate VPNs. Requestly uses Chrome’s APIs to intercept & modify HTTPs requests and hence Requestly is free from all VPN issues.
No context switching
Requestly is available as a browser extension on all major Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and all other Chromium-based browsers. No need to switch context to any other application.
Best customer support
Requestly is known to provide the best customer support to its customers. Requestly has more than 1000 reviews on the Chrome Store testifying the best support from the Requestly team.
