About
Insomnia is an AI-native API collaboration platform for developers who design, test, debug, and manage endpoints across REST, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSocket, Socket.IO, and SSE workflows. It combines an API client with tools for API design, mocking, testing, debugging, collaboration, and local, Git, or cloud-based storage.
The platform is built for individual developers and teams that need a flexible workspace for API development and automation. It also includes CLI support, plugin extensibility, and enterprise capabilities for organizations that need governance, security, and scale.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is genuinely usable for small teams: it includes unlimited projects, environments, collection runs, plugins, CLI automation, and E2EE, with the main hard cap being 1,000 mock server requests per month and Git Sync limited to 3 users. Compared with the $12/user/month Pro plan, it delivers roughly half of the practical paid value for small usage, so about $6/month is a fair estimate; the 14-day enterprise trial is separate and a credit card is not required for the free tier.
