What is Postman?
APIs developed, tested and managed on an AI-native platform.
Who is Postman best for?
Postman is best for developers and API teams who design, test, document and monitor APIs in one place.
Developers working alone
The Free plan already covers the API client, mock servers, specs and Git sync for one person, so many solo developers never need to pay.
Testing many kinds of API
One collection can test HTTP, GraphQL, gRPC, MCP, MQTT and WebSocket APIs, and the same tests run in CI before a merge.
Teams sharing APIs
Shared workspaces keep specs, collections, mocks and docs together, with unlimited viewers and role-based access on the Team plan.
Companies with many services
Enterprise adds an API Catalog that tracks owners, specs, tests and monitoring for every service, plus a private network for publishing internal APIs.
