Postman is also being used for API development, whereas other tools do not support development but documentation. Postman is used for real-time testing: Send requests and analyze responses directly without needing additional tools or platforms. Postman also has built-in JavaScript-based scripting, which can be used to automate workflows.

NGL first of all was word of mouth. my teammates were already using Postman so I was told to use it as well. I tried exploring other alternatives but most of them seem to provide a particular service. On the other hand, Postman is a whole bundle to manage almost everything related to APIs

There isn't much between them, really we just picked Postman as it was slightly better but the others are still good. We also had a few people that had a good experience of using Postman join the team when we were looking at what tools to use and with them using Postman before it allowed for us to get started much quicker.

A must-have tool for API development

Postman is a lot more affordable and maintainable than its competitors. Also, it is easy to use and deployment takes less amount of time. So, we selected Postman as it best fits our requirements.
