Bruno

What it is for

Bruno is a git-friendly API client: you open a GitHub REST API collection, hit Search Repos, and read a 200 JSON body, and the OSS client is $0. Use it when the job is a collection on disk you start at a public $, not when you need Postman's hosted catalog only.

Soft-note: Free client + paid Pro / Ultimate seats. Distinct from Hoppscotch and Postman.

What makes it unique: the cover is Bruno's official Collections desk (GitHub REST API, GET Search Repos, URL {{baseUrl}}/search/repositories?q=bruno&order=desc&sort=stars, tabs Params / Body / Headers / Auth / Vars, Params q=bruno / order=desc / sort=stars, Response 200 OK 15.67kB JSON total_count / usebruno/bruno, sidebar User / Repository / Search React Repos …) from bruno-homepage-hero.png on usebruno.com — not a dog poster. The q=bruno row itself is ops of Params.

Key features

• Collections sidebar — GitHub REST API → User / Repository (cover still; Quick Start). One desk. Cover GET Search Repos sits here.
• Request URL — GET {{baseUrl}}/search/repositories?q=bruno&order=desc&sort=stars (cover). A URL, not a Pro tile.
• Params table — q / order / sort with Name / Value / Description (cover). A table, not a $6 meter.
• Response JSON — 200 OK body with total_count / items / usebruno/bruno (cover). A pane, not yearly.
• Response tabs — Response / Headers / Timeline / Tests plus JSON 15.67kB (cover). Tabs, not Ultimate.
• Env chip — Prod on the top bar (cover). An env, not Send.

Send on the cover is a CTA (not a seventh desk). Free / Pro / Ultimate tiles stay in Pricing. AI Assistant stays off Key features as an AI extra.

Who it's for

Best fit: 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.

Pricing

Verified 2026-10-23 (Asia/Shanghai) from usebruno.com/pricing (stripped cards print Pro $6 / Ultimate $11) plus Buy Ultimate ($132) and the first-party State of Bruno note. Soft-note: annual seats.

• Free — $0. OSS API client (HTTP / REST / GraphQL / gRPC), testing, public Git providers, 2 workspaces, community support.
• Pro — $6 / user / month, billed annually ($72/year). Pricing page: “Download Pro $ 6 user/month, billed annually.” Private Git providers, GitUI extras, email / chat support.
• Ultimate — $11 / user / month, billed annually. Buy page prints $132. SSO / SCIM, unlimited license admins, PO / invoicing, 14-day Ultimate trial.
• Golden Edition — sunset; existing licenses keep maintenance. Do not invent a new Golden $.

Confirm checkout; taxes follow your location.

Limitations / costs

• Private Git providers are a paid seat. The Search Repos desk on the cover is Free.
• Ultimate is the SSO / invoice SKU at $132/year, not a second client.
• A file-based collection, not Hoppscotch's browser client. For that client see Hoppscotch.

Alternatives

• Hoppscotch — a browser API client when you want Free $0 / Business $6 annual, not Bruno's q=bruno Params table.
• Postman — a hosted API platform when you want Free / Solo $9 yearly, not a .bru collection on disk.

Official tutorial

Official Bruno channel video: How to Create a Collection in Bruno | Quick Guide (oEmbed author: Bruno). First-party collection how-to; the GitHub REST Search Repos still is the cover. Params / Send / 200 JSON on the video are ops of the collection, not generate-on-usebruno/bruno. We searched @usebruno and @brunoapi — @brunoapi is the product channel.

Written path: usebruno.com/pricing plus Quick Start and the homepage hero.
