Developers can test API in the browser without additional tools such as Postman.

Great integration with OAuth2 Authorization

Product is constantly Updated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stoplight?

Stoplight Studio, which is the latest version of Stoplight is not suitable for our needs

We are currently still using the previous Generation Stoplight Next

We are unable to move forward because the feature is not apple to apple

Also we feel like the new Stoplight Studio User Interface is not as good.

The *Try Now* section is in a column that is too small.

Where previously, the Try Now section occupy a whole Row. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Stoplight?

We needed a handy editor for OpenApi for our company, which will handle a large project and at the same time remain clear, and which will have a friendly free budget version. All we found were toys for children rather than professional tools. Stoplight perfectly meets everything our development team needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stoplight?

We would appreciate the wider pricing options - the difference between free and starter program is unnecessarily large for our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Stoplight:

Best for massive projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stoplight solving and how is that benefiting you?
