When is Beeceptor the better choice?

You need stateful or conditional mock behavior, not just canned JSON. You want CRUD-style mock routes and request inspection in the free workflow. You are testing one endpoint hard and can live within 50 requests/day per endpoint. You expect to grow into a paid plan with defined tiers and more rules per endpoint. You want a free tier that includes AI mock creation and local tunneling.

When is Mockfly the better choice?

You need a quick hosted mock server for frontend work with a higher daily request cap. You only need a small number of endpoints and response variants. You want the simplest free setup for a single project. You do not need the richer stateful or CRUD-oriented mock features Beeceptor emphasizes. You expect to hit the free ceiling mostly on request volume, not on endpoint behavior complexity.

Beeceptor vs Mockfly: Free Tier Comparison

Q: How much does Beeceptor cost after the free tier?

Individual - $10/month. Beeceptor uses flat monthly pricing for its paid tiers, starting at $10/month, then $25/month and $99/month before enterprise contact sales. Mockfly is also flat-priced at the first paid tier, at 8€ per month or 88€ per year, then goes to company/enterprise contact sales. For a small team that just needs to outgrow free limits, Mockfly is cheaper at the entry paid tier. Beeceptor becomes easier to justify if you need its extra mocking features, because the price ladder buys more rules, more request volume, and richer traffic tooling.

Profesional - 8€ per month or 88€ per year (1 month free). Beeceptor uses flat monthly pricing for its paid tiers, starting at $10/month, then $25/month and $99/month before enterprise contact sales.

Quick answer

Beeceptor - Beeceptor wins for most builders who need realistic mock APIs that stay useful as usage grows, while Mockfly wins only if you want the simplest free starter for a small frontend test setup.

How the free tiers compare

Beeceptor and Mockfly both sit in the mock API / testing lane, but they solve different scale problems. Beeceptor’s free tier is narrower on raw volume, with 50 requests per day per endpoint and 3 mock rules, but it keeps more of the advanced mock-server workflow available: dynamic and conditional responses, stateful behavior, CRUD routes, traffic inspection, AI mock creation, and a local tunnel. Mockfly’s free plan is much looser on daily requests, with 500 per day, but it is more restrictive in structure: 1 project, 4 endpoints, and 2 responses per endpoint. That makes Mockfly feel like a lightweight hosted mock starter, while Beeceptor is better when you need rule-based behavior and more API-testing depth. After the free tier, Beeceptor has clearer step-ups at $10, $25, and $99 per month; Mockfly jumps from free to an 8€ monthly plan with unlimited usage.

RequestsBeeceptor resets daily per endpoint; Mockfly states a daily request cap but not per endpoint in the free tier.	50 requests/day per endpoint	500 requests/day
Endpoints / projectsBeeceptor’s free tier is endpoint-centric; Mockfly’s free tier limits both project count and endpoint count.	Public endpoint included	1 project, 4 endpoints
Mock rules / responsesDifferent units, but both cap branching behavior on the free tier.	3 mock rules per endpoint	2 responses per endpoint
Stateful / CRUD toolingBeeceptor exposes more behavior controls in the free plan.	Multi-step behavior, CRUD routes up to 10 small objects	Not listed in free tier
Credit card requiredBoth inputs explicitly say no credit card is required.	No	No

After you outgrow the free tier

Beeceptor uses flat monthly pricing for its paid tiers, starting at $10/month, then $25/month and $99/month before enterprise contact sales. Mockfly is also flat-priced at the first paid tier, at 8€ per month or 88€ per year, then goes to company/enterprise contact sales. For a small team that just needs to outgrow free limits, Mockfly is cheaper at the entry paid tier. Beeceptor becomes easier to justify if you need its extra mocking features, because the price ladder buys more rules, more request volume, and richer traffic tooling.

You only need a small number of endpoints and response variants.
You want the simplest free setup for a single project.
You do not need the richer stateful or CRUD-oriented mock features Beeceptor emphasizes.

Bottom line

For most builders, Beeceptor is the better pick if the mock server has to behave like a real API, because the free tier already includes dynamic responses, stateful flows, CRUD routes, and inspection tools. Mockfly is the simpler choice if you mostly need a basic hosted mock endpoint setup and want a higher free request cap before paying. Once you pay, Mockfly is cheaper at entry, but Beeceptor gives a clearer path for teams that need more than just unlimited requests.
