Bruno vs Insomnia

Our take

Pick Bruno if engineers who will stay on Free at $0 while they open a first GitHub REST collection on disk, then Pro at $6/user/month billed annually ($72) when they need private Git providers — not Ultimate $11 ($132) first unless they need SSO / SCIM / license admins. Pick Insomnia if small teams who will stay on Essentials at $0 (Git Sync for up to 3 users) while they open a first Insomnia-Airlines tree, then Pro
