Hoppscotch review
A broad browser-based API client with collections, runners, mocks, and team collaboration.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Hoppscotch gives developers and engineering teams a place to send API requests, inspect responses, and organize work in collections and workspaces. Its browser-based client supports HTTP and GraphQL, with options that also include desktop, command-line, cloud, and self-hosted use. Teams can manage environment variables, share workspaces in real time, and use scripts and assertions to test responses. That breadth makes it a fit for teams that want a collaborative API client across request authoring and repeatable runs, rather than a tool limited to sending individual requests.
The collection runner adds depth for repeatable testing: it can run collections and accept CSV or JSON files for data-driven runs. Pre-request scripts and post-request assertions support checks around those requests. GraphQL users can explore schemas and send queries, mutations, and subscriptions, while mock endpoints can return custom responses, headers, and status codes. Hoppscotch also supports Postman collection, Insomnia, and cURL imports, plus OpenAPI. These features make it practical to bring existing request work into a shared workflow and cover both live requests and mock responses.
The Free plan includes unlimited workspaces, collections, requests, and runners, along with community support. According to the vendor's pricing page, Organization costs $6 per user per month when billed annually and adds an admin dashboard, dedicated support, and custom payment options. The published plans make it possible to start with the core client at no charge, while teams needing administrative controls or dedicated support have a paid option. Choose Hoppscotch if collaboration, GraphQL, collection runs, and flexible deployment matter together; it is a less natural fit for buyers whose priority is support beyond the community on the free plan or who prefer not to commit to annual billing for Organization.
