Enshittification at its best. I used Postman for several years before it become unusable for me. Didn't actually think too much about it, tried several alternatives (ApiDog, Bruno), but none came to the comfort Postman gave me before that.
Now I understand if engineers spend lots of time on software, somehow they need to get paid. But I still believe, there is a more authentic and acceptable path than what most companies do - make people dependend, make the software worse, introduce subscriptions, force you into plans, etc.
I haven't found a good substitute yet. I use Bruno, I use ApiDog, but they feel a little cumbersome at times. Good enough, but not great. I'd had loved to stay with Postman, but I'm not paying that money for a an API debug client.
