Best Alternative to Postman? (self.programming)

Hey!

I'm currently hitting the limits with Postman's free tier and need your recommendations for alternatives. My company isn't planning to upgrade to the paid version, so I'm specifically looking for:

Must-have features:

Unlimited API requests
Collection runner or similar batch testing capability
Data import from spreadsheets for test automation
The collection runner feature is crucial for my workflow: I heavily rely on being able to import Excel data to generate and map multiple API calls without manual setup.

Has anyone switched from Postman to something else that offers these capabilities? What's your experience been like?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions! 🙏

Milkman. It's simple and I've seen bugs where it hangs, but overall it works well, doesn't require a login, runs local, is open source, supports postman import, and exports to a nice variety of formats

Sorry if this response is mal-informed and misses some important part of your workflow, but if all you're trying to do is run a postman collection then all you really need is newman.
