In-depth Report

  • Postman AI is an AI native API platform launched in 2025 by Postman, the world's leading API collaboration platform. The platform provides developers with full-process intelligent support from API design, testing to deployment by deeply integrating AI capabilities, including Agent Mode, AI-driven API design and test automation. Postman AI is positioned as an "AI-native API Platform", aiming to help developers build, test and manage APIs more efficiently while fully preparing for the AI ​​agent era. Core data: According to the Postman 2025 API State Report, 89% of developers use generative AI on a daily basis, while only 24% of organizations design APIs for AI agents. This gap means that Postman AI has huge market growth space.

  • Company history: Postman was founded in 2014 by Abhinav Asthana, initially as an API testing extension for the Chrome browser. Postman Cloud cloud collaboration platform was released in 2018. A partner workspace will be launched for enterprises in 2022. Postman version 11 will be released in 2024 to strengthen AI API support. Agent Mode will be launched in 2025 and officially transformed into an AI native platform. Market size and status: Postman is the publisher of the 7th annual State of API Report, which surveyed more than 5,700 developers, architects and executives, and is the global API platform market leader.

  • Core AI functions: Agent Mode uses natural language to control all core functions of Postman, automatically repair failed requests into code, automatically create, organize and update API collections, and perform complex operations across workflows. Postman MCP Server provides API context for AI agents, enabling AI agents to discover, understand and call APIs, and supports the Model Context Protocol standard. AI-driven development capabilities include intelligent API design (AI-assisted generation of API specifications), automated testing (automatic creation of test cases), Mock server (intelligent simulation of API responses), and document generation (automatic generation of API documents and SDK). General functional modules: API client supports HTTP, GraphQL, gRPC, MCP, MQTT, WebSockets, AI and other protocols. Test automation includes Collection Runner, performance testing, and Flows workflow. API management includes Catalog, Insights, Monitors, and Governance. Collaborative distribution includes team workspaces, API documentation, and private API networks.

  • Pricing plan: The Free plan price is $0, the core positioning is personal development testing, and AI Credits are 50/month. The Solo plan price is $9/month. The core positioning is for individual advanced users. AI Credits are 400/month. The Team plan price is $19/user/month. The core positioning is team collaboration, and the AI ​​Credits are 400/user/month. The Enterprise plan price is $49/user/month. The core positioning is enterprise-level scale. AI Credits are 800 (shared)/user/month. Add-on: Simple Security (SSO) is $6/user/month. Advanced Security is priced at $29/user/month. Usage billing: The price for exceeding AI Credits is $0.035-0.05/credit. Monitoring price is $20/50,000 requests/team/month.

  • Positive review: Liz Jackson, Developer Relations Team Lead at Toast, said Postman has had a huge impact on how we build software. Not only does it save time, it also enables widely distributed people to work as a team. Mudita Tiwari, Senior Director, Developer Experiences at PayPal, said an API-first approach allows us to provide developers with greater flexibility, speed up time to market and achieve scalability. Negative feedback: Performance issues include slow operation of large Collections and laggy interfaces. Missing features include the inability to move/copy Collections and lack of serial execution support. Sync issues include unstable cloud sync. The UI design includes complex menus and the save button is difficult to find. Time zone issues include confusing execution time zone display.

  • Market position: Postman is the de facto standard for global API testing tools in the international market, competing with Apifox in the domestic market. Industry Trends: According to the 2025 API Report: 82% of organizations adopt an API-first approach (+12% year-on-year). 65% of organizations generate revenue from APIs. 70% of developers understand the MCP protocol. 51% of developers are worried about unauthorized access by AI agents.

  • Main controversy: In terms of data security, cloud collaboration involves the risk of data leakage. In terms of performance stability, problems with synchronization functions and interface operations have long existed. In terms of pricing, the price is higher than that of domestic tools. In terms of functional redundancy, some basic functions are not polished enough. Potential risks: AI Credits quota restrictions affect the user experience. Enterprise data compliance risks. Fierce competitive environment (Apifox, Insomnia and other alternatives).

  • Recommended people: Individual developers recommend the Free plan because the basic functions meet their needs. The Team plan ($19/person/month) is recommended for small teams because of its complete collaboration features. Medium and large enterprises recommend Enterprise because of security and compliance guarantees. AI agent developers recommend Team+ because MCP support is complete. Suggestions for use: New users should first familiarize themselves with the Free version. Team users select the Team plan after evaluating their collaboration needs. Business users fully evaluate security needs and add-on costs.

  • As the world's leading AI native API platform, Postman AI has significant advantages in the field of API development. Advantages include: powerful AI integration capabilities (Agent Mode, MCP support), full protocol coverage and multi-platform support, mature enterprise-level functions, and an extensive community ecosystem. Need to pay attention to: large-scale project performance issues, relatively high pricing, and polishing of basic functions. Outlook: As AI agents become new API consumers, Postman AI has unique advantages in helping developers prepare APIs for the AI ​​era and has broad market prospects.

    Insomnia has a cleaner interface and better GraphQL support, but Postman still has better collaboration features.

    The collection (Folders) function is missing, and there is no way to manage multiple Collections using folders.

    Postman's AI function is pretty useless. Postbot often answers questions that don't answer the question. It's better to ask ChatGPT directly.

    The Newman command line tool is very convenient to integrate into CI/CD, and automated testing runs smoothly.

    The menu design is too complicated, the save button can never be found, and the Share button is always in the way.

    Postman's 2025 annual report said that 89% of developers use AI, but only 24% design APIs for AI agents. This gap is too big. Postman AI has great opportunities.

    The Enterprise version is too expensive at $49/person/month. Small teams cannot afford it.

    Postman's security is good, and its sensitive information scanning function is very useful.

    Postman is really strong in team collaboration. Five people work on different services at the same time. Sharing collections prevents API contract confusion.

    The free version of Postman is enough, but team collaboration still requires the paid version.

    The API for moving between Collections is not supported. You can only export first and then import, which is too troublesome.

    The time zone setting is too messy. The interface displays US time but it is actually computer time. The execution time always does not match up.

    Creating a Team is too slow. I don’t know if it’s a network problem or a server problem.

    The Team version is expensive at $19/person/month, but the collaboration function is really easy to use, and the efficiency is significantly improved when used by a team of 5 people.
