Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Postman API at Free against Codenames's $4.99. Postman API also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and review sentiment (75% vs 66%). Codenames's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 14). On rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
