Requestly over Charles Proxy
Charles Proxy was built 2-decades ago with no updates anymore. Requestly is a modern browser-first open-source software that accelerates web development and testing workflows.
1. Zero Setup
Just Download 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.
2. 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.

For the developers, by the developers ❤️
App works as expected! Ran into some small issues while creating the rules but the support team was able to help and overcome those.
Requestly is an amazing tool to get your development work less hassle. The product itself has evolved so much since day-1 and the company is really serious on helping their customer solves their problems. We had this nice session where they shared Requestly features and we were very impressed on its potential. A truly 5-star worthy.
Great functionality and amazing support. I ran into a problem with the Addin and the engineering team reached out to figure out a solution. They took the time to replicate the issue as well as provide alternative workarounds.
Requestly not just made it easier for us to develop, test & debug our code on our customer sites but also helped us do engaging product demos to our prospective clients.
Awesome tool. I use it almost daily for my projects to modify request body, headers, etc. Would recommend it to every frontend developer out there. Thank me later 🙂 (Case Study)
Requestly’s browser extension is remarkably easy to use. As a full-stack developer, I often need to test data-intensive UI for edge cases and performance. Using Requestly I can do it very easily by mocking network requests, without needing code changes or database seeding.
As a QA engineer, I found this extension to be a great tool for screen recording and network monitoring. Its user-friendly interface, robust features, and seamless integration make it an essential companion for thorough testing. Highly recommended for QA teams looking to enhance their testing processes.
Absolutely insane level of customisation and flexibility. Used this on a number of different use cases and love it. Works great and I found the UX fantastic. Nice job!
Requestly is awesome. I used to use Charles proxy in my day-to-day work but it always messed with my wifi. I haven’t had any issues with Requestly. Requestly’s UI is an amazing tool and great to work in.
I’m a big fan of Requestly, and use it on a daily basis as a QA Engineer. It removes the need to use Charles Proxy often, which is always nice. I can just use Requestly directly in Chrome
Requestly is user-friendly, brilliant and easy-to-use. I use it on an daily basis and it makes my work easier. After using other tools like Charles – Requestly is a nice new breath of air that I highly vouch for. Apart from the tool being amazing – the support from the Requestly team is phenomenal with them always going above and beyond for their clients.
Simple UI, Huge Impact Loved the intuitive UI for request body modification. Helped in confirming backend security with my senior engineer, even bested Postman Interceptor in some cases.
