Insomnia paid plans vs Bruno

Migration notes

Bruno accepts Insomnia collection exports in JSON (v4) and YAML (v5+). Review requests, variables and authentication after import; Git-based local collaboration differs from managed organizational controls.

What you may give up

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.

Git collaboration uses locally stored collections and a separately operated Git provider; catalog does not claim managed cloud team parity.

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

What running it takes

Bruno native desktop binary
Local collection storage

Hover or focus an icon for its name. Dashed means not established; struck through means no; grouped icons are alternatives.

Desktop/CLI API tooling, not a self-hosted collaboration server. Native installers and package-manager commands are local software installation; optional HTML docs hosting is separate. Infrastructure and staff time are not priced here; this page does not compare total cost.
