The Key Difference
Postman
Postman is a comprehensive API development tool with advanced features for designing, testing, and automating APIs. While powerful for managing complex workflows, it lacks the lightweight, browser-based flexibility that Requestly provides for real-time debugging.
Requestly
Requestly’s API client, available in both browsers and as a standalone app, offers robust features like variables, scripting, and dynamic request handling. It allows real-time API testing and debugging with an intuitive interface, making it ideal for agile workflows and front-end developers.
