    The Key Difference
    Insomnia
    Insomnia is a dedicated API client focused on testing and interacting with APIs. It’s ideal for developers who need a simple, streamlined interface for sending requests and analyzing API responses, particularly for REST, GraphQL, and SOAP APIs.
    Requestly
    Requestly is a comprehensive, open-source web debugging, mocking, and development suite. While it covers the same capabilities as Insomnia for API testing, it goes further with advanced traffic manipulation, and seamless integration with both web and mobile environments, making it an ideal choice for teams and individuals.
