Overview

Testfully is a platform for API client, testing, and monitoring supporting REST and GraphQL APIs.

An offline desktop version offers identical functionality without cloud sync for air-gapped use, alongside the cloud-based SaaS option.

  • API Health Checks - Monitor API endpoints for availability and performance.
  • Request Chaining - Build multi-step tests by chaining API requests.
  • Multiple Environments - Manage variables and configurations across different environments.
  • Authorization Support - Handles OAuth2, Basic Auth, API Key, Bearer Token, AWS Signature, and more.
  • Testfully Vault - Securely manage sensitive data like API keys without storing them on device or cloud.
  • Team Collaboration - Cloud version enables sharing and collaboration on tests.

Reputation

Testfully is viewed as a capable Postman alternative with strong no-code testing, offline capabilities, and security features like Vault that keep data local. Users appreciate the cross-platform desktop support and auth scheme variety, though the offline free tier ended in 2024, shifting to paid. It receives positive demos for simplicity in API workflows but has less visibility than bigger competitors.
