Top Rated Kong Insomnia Alternatives
What I most like about Insomnia is its user interface. You don't feel burdened by hundreds of options or buttons. Most things are easy to find, and the distribution of Request's List, Request Body, and Response Body are lovely and understandable, especially on small screens.

What I dislike about Insomnia is that it doesn't have a free tier and doesn't support as much automation as Postman. Apart from that, it is an excellent REST client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used insomnia last 2 years and I love to use this tool as a rest API test and call API. I can easily and quickly send REST, and SOAP requests within these tools. UI of this tool is built as an easy to understand what I have to do next. I get what is expected from the API tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The dislike part about insomnia is this tool is used by some software developers only. Several times I had to send another tool proof to my client as they did not use insomnia. The community is small and taking time to get the answer from them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
