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 Postman if solo developers who will stay on Free while they open a first collection, then Solo at $9/month yearly ($12 monthly) when they need higher AI / automation limits — not Team
