Facts

License
Paid-feature tier C
Self-host
Paid-feature limits2 noted
  • Full Postman Data Export import is Ultimate-only; individual collection import remains available.
  • Open Source edition has 2 workspaces and 5 OpenAPI syncs/month; paid editions remove these limits.

Tier C: MIT desktop client and CLI; local operation, not a hosted collaboration server. Paid migration and ordinary workspace/sync capabilities justify C. CLI data-driven execution and reports exist, so GUI edition gates do not imply their total absence. License source. Repository: usebruno/bruno. Self-host: desktop; hosted offer from the project: no.
