Overview

Firecamp is an open-source API platform for testing and developing REST, GraphQL, WebSocket and SocketIO APIs, each with a dedicated playground. Teams keep API collections in a shared workspace, publish documentation, use variables across the platform, and run collections in the visual test runner, the terminal or a CI/CD pipeline. Web and desktop apps are both available.

Best for: Dev teams testing REST, GraphQL, WebSocket and SocketIO APIs who want an open-source Postman alternative
Pricing: Free for up to 5 seats, then $59/month for up to 15 seats ($49/month billed yearly), with contact-sales Enterprise plans.
