      scottfrost Many of the same features as Postman, but no sync unless you pay. This is a deal breaker to developers who work on multiple computers, like home & work PCs.

      malternative Handles cookies *way better* than Postman
      Positive comment • about 5 years ago

      Superb flexibility and cookie handling. An entire session with transactions can be constructed in Paw with it's ability to parse incoming data and extract potions for the next request.
