What is Hoppscotch?

Hoppscotch is a free, open-source API development tool and lightweight alternative to Postman for testing REST, GraphQL, WebSocket and other requests. It runs in the browser or as a desktop app, supports collections, environments and team workspaces, and can be self-hosted, with paid plans for larger organisations.

Pros: what Hoppscotch does well

  • Very fast and lightweight
  • Supports many protocols
  • Self-hostable

Cons: where it falls short

  • Fewer integrations than Postman
  • Some admin features are on paid plans

Who Hoppscotch is for

Developers who test APIs often and want a quick, open-source client.

Who can skip it

People who never work with APIs or web services.
