About SoapUI Open Source

Alternatives to SoapUI Open Source
Compare allSoftware that can replace SoapUI Open Source for an important use case, and what changes if you switch.
Postman
The most widely used API client, for sending HTTP requests, organising them into collections and sharing them with a team.
Postman offers collections, test scripts, a runner and mock servers across desktop and web, but it is closed source and built around a cloud account.
Insomnia
An API client for REST, GraphQL and gRPC that can keep everything local or sync through Git instead of a cloud.
Insomnia is an Apache-2.0 client adding GraphQL, gRPC and an OpenAPI editor with test suites and a CLI, though it lacks SoapUI's SOAP and WSDL focus.
Apidog
An API platform for designing, debugging, mocking and testing APIs, with desktop and web clients.
Apidog is a closed-source freemium platform combining design, debugging, mocking and testing, available on web and desktop, rather than a free open-source desktop tool.
Step CI
An open-source API test automation framework that runs multi-step workflows written in YAML, JSON or JavaScript.
Step CI tests REST, GraphQL, gRPC and SOAP from YAML, JSON or JavaScript workflows in CI, but offers no graphical interface for manual requests.
httpYac
A command-line and VS Code client for sending HTTP, GraphQL, SOAP and gRPC requests from files.
httpYac sends SOAP, REST, GraphQL and gRPC requests from text files via CLI or VS Code and runs them as CI tests, without a standalone graphical app.
Requestly
An API client for designing and testing APIs, plus a browser HTTP interceptor for modifying requests.
Requestly is a closed-source freemium client with SOAP, GraphQL and gRPC support and Git-friendly JSON collections, plus a browser interceptor.
ReqBin
An online tool for sending REST and SOAP API requests directly from the browser.
ReqBin sends REST and SOAP requests from the browser with built-in response validators, but it offers no structured test suites and is not open source.
