About Hoppscotch

Hoppscotch is an open-source API development tool that runs in the browser, with desktop apps available, and supports REST, GraphQL, WebSocket, Server-Sent Events, MQTT and Socket.IO. It is lightweight and fast to start, making it handy for quick tests without installing anything. Teams can create shared workspaces and collections, and organizations can self-host the full platform with Docker for internal use. The hosted version is free for individuals, with paid plans for organizations that need more collaboration and administration. It is a popular lightweight alternative to Postman.

Best for: Quick browser-based API testing and self-hosted team workspaces.
