What is Mockaroo?

Mockaroo creates realistic fake data such as names, emails, addresses and dates, with more than 150 field types you can arrange into your own schema. The free plan generates up to 1,000 rows per file and 200 API requests a day, and paid plans raise those limits.

Pros: what Mockaroo does well

  • Many realistic field types
  • Exports to several formats
  • Mock API option

Cons: where it falls short

  • Free files are capped at 1,000 rows
  • Large datasets need a paid plan

Who Mockaroo is for

Developers and testers who need sample data for demos, prototypes or database seeding.

Who can skip it

People who never work with databases or spreadsheets of test data.
