You can directly test APIs that return images, PDF, audio & more. - Save response body of any mimetype (image, text, etc.) directly in the Downloads folder of your system by clicking on the Download button. Code Generation - We started out as the only open source API client which supported advanced Dart code generation to easily integrate APIs in Dart/Flutter projects or to directly run it on DartPad. With time we have added more code-gens and currently API Dash supports generation of well-tested integration codes for JavaScript, Python, Kotlin & various other languages. Full Dark Mode Support - Easily switch between light mode and dark mode. Data - Data is persisted locally on the disk. To save the current snapshot, just press the Save button in the collection pane. - Click and open the collection/folder popup menu to export it as HAR. This can be version controlled & can be directly imported in other API Clients like Postman, Paw, etc. - Export your entire data into a HAR (HTTP Archive) file. To access this option goto Settings > Export Data.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: API Dash at none against JSON Dashboard's 1. API Dash also leads on ads (none vs shown). JSON Dashboard's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
