Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
ReqPad
Read full descriptionHide full description
ReqPad is the API client that Postman should have built for mobile. Test REST, WebSocket, GraphQL, gRPC, MQTT, and Socket.IO — all from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. No laptop. No desktop app. No compromises. — WHY DEVELOPERS SWITCH TO REQPAD: You're on the train and staging is down. You're in a meeting and someone asks "is that endpoint returning the right schema?" You're in bed at midnight and a webhook isn't firing. With ReqPad, the answer is always the same: open your phone, test it, fix it, move on. — 6 PROTOCOLS, ONE APP: Most mobile API tools only handle REST. ReqPad handles six: • REST/HTTP — GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS with full header, body, and auth control • WebSocket — Real-time bidirectional messaging with live connection status • GraphQL — Query editor with syntax highlighting, variables, and subscription support • gRPC — Server reflection and .proto file support • MQTT — Connect to IoT brokers with QoS levels and topic subscriptions • Socket.IO — Test event-driven real-time communication ReqPad is the only mobile API client with gRPC and Socket.IO support. — ENTERPRISE AUTHENTICATION BUILT IN: Don't hack together auth headers manually. ReqPad supports: • Bearer Token & JWT • OAuth 1.0 & 2.0 (full flow) • Basic & Digest Authentication • API Key — header, query param, or cookie • AWS Signature v4 • Hawk Authentication • Akamai EdgeGrid Your staging environment uses OAuth? Your production API uses AWS Sig v4? ReqPad handles both without leaving the app. — GENERATE CODE IN 20+ LANGUAGES: Build your request visually, then export it as production-ready code: Swift, Kotlin, Python, JavaScript, Go, Rust, PHP, Ruby, C#, Java, Dart, cURL, and more. Perfect for prototyping, sharing with teammates, or dropping straight into your codebase. — IMPORT EVERYTHING, START IN SECONDS: • Postman Cloud Sync — Import your existing workspaces in one tap • cURL Import — Paste a cURL command and ReqPad builds the request • OpenAPI / Swagger — Import full API specs • HAR Files — Import browser network recordings • APIs.guru Directory — Browse and test 2,500+ public APIs instantly Already invested in Postman? You don't have to start over. Bring your work with you. — ORGANIZE LIKE A PRO: • Collections — Group requests into folders by project, team, or API • Environments — One tap to switch between dev, staging, and production • Variables — Use {{dynamic_variables}} in URLs, headers, and request bodies • History — Every request saved and searchable • Cookie Manager — Full visibility and control over stored cookies — DESIGNED FOR DEVELOPERS, NOT COMMITTEES: • Dark mode that actually looks good at 2am • Syntax highlighting for JSON, XML, and HTML responses • Response metrics — status, time, size at a glance • Clean, fast, no bloat — YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS: ReqPad is privacy-first. Your API keys, tokens, and request data live on your device. We don't track your requests, log your endpoints, or store your credentials on our servers. Period. — WHO REQPAD IS FOR: • Backend developers tired of switching to a laptop to test an endpoint • Mobile engineers who need to verify API responses on real devices • DevOps and SRE teams debugging production APIs from anywhere • QA testers running API checks without a full workstation • Full-stack developers who move between protocols daily — Free to start. No account required. Just open and test. Questions or feature requests?
