Our take
Pick HTTPie if developers who will stay on Free CLI + Desktop/Web (no account) while they send a first POST To Mars, then Pro at ~$10/month if the checkout still prints that card — not Team ~$20/user first unless they need seats. 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 at $12/user/month when a 4th Git Sync
