API Tester vs. Paw vs. Python vs. ReadyAPI Comparison Chart

Paw is a full-featured HTTP client that lets you test and describe the APIs you build or consume. It has a beautiful native macOS interface to compose requests, inspect server responses, generate client code and export API definitions. Building great software is hard, and developer tools should be helping you without the headaches. Paw is exclusively built for macOS, so you should easily get the hang of it. Every feature is built intuitively with quick mouse or keyboard shortcut access. Visually build your API requests and describe each parameter through textual descriptions, typing, and constraints. Paw natively supports JSON Schema and can import and generate fully compliant Swagger, RAML, and API Blueprint description files. Keep everyone in sync with Paw for Teams. Create a team, invite your team and everyone gets seamlessly the updates.

The ReadyAPI platform accelerates functional, security, and load testing of RESTful, SOAP, GraphQL and other web services right inside your CI/CD pipeline. ReadyAPI allows teams to create, manage, and execute automated functional, security, and performance tests in one centralized interface - accelerating API quality for Agile and DevOps software teams. Teams can get started by importing API definitions like OAS (Swagger) or WSDLs, testing and recording live API traffic, or virtualizing web services to remove pipeline dependencies. Create comprehensive, data-driven functional API tests without the hassle of maintaining scripts. Generate load, stress, and spike tests to validate whether your API can handle real-world traffic conditions. Secure your vulnerable APIs from XSS, malformed XML, SQL injections and more with each deployment. Remove dependencies in your testing pipeline by virtualizing RESTful, SOAP, TCP, JMS, and other web services.
