Our take
Pick Postman if you're 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 $19/user yearly first unless they need collaboration, and not Enterprise unless they need a custom quote. Pick Stoplight if you're aPI programs who will pay a workspace card and keep the contract in Git. Skip Stoplight if
