Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SendMan at 5.0 against REST API Client's 4.3. SendMan also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). REST API Client's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. REST API Client sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and SendMan sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
SendMan holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: REST API Client has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
REST API Client ships an update every 3 weeks, SendMan every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
