There is no Postman mobile app, so "alternative" here means: what do you actually install? We build one of these apps, so read this as an opinionated but honest map — including where the others beat us. · Also in: 日本語 · Deutsch · Español · Português
| App | Store rating* | Protocols (store metadata) | Postman import | Model |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ReqPad (this site) | new — launched 2026, ratings still accruing | REST, WebSocket, GraphQL, gRPC, MQTT, Socket.IO | Cloud Sync, one tap | Free (REST+WS) · Pro $3.99/mo, $19.99/yr, $39.99 lifetime |
| HTTPBot | 4.48 (1,315) | REST/HTTP | not advertised | Free + IAP |
| Teste (ex-API Tester) | 4.72 (552) · Play 100K+ | REST/HTTP + scripts, terminal | not advertised | Free + IAP |
| Rest – HTTP API Client | 4.39 (94) | REST/HTTP | not advertised | Free + IAP |
| Postman web (browser) | — | full platform, desktop layout | native | account required |
* App Store (US) rating and count, checked June 11, 2026. "Not advertised" means the store listing doesn't mention it — verify in-app.
Our app, so judge the claim by its checkability: ReqPad is the only mobile API client with gRPC and Socket.IO support — across every store listing we surveyed in June 2026, no other mobile client mentions either protocol. Add GraphQL (with subscriptions), MQTT, WebSocket, nine auth schemes up to AWS SigV4 and Hawk, one-tap Postman Cloud Sync import, and code generation in 20+ languages. Honest cons: it's the newest app here — the rating count reflects that; Android is still in development; and the heavy protocols live behind Pro (REST and WebSocket are free forever, no account).
The strongest established iOS client: 1,315 ratings at 4.48 is real, earned trust, and the app is actively maintained. If your work is purely REST/HTTP and you want maximum maturity, it's an excellent choice. The trade-offs reviewers bring up: no multi-protocol coverage (REST only) and recurring complaints about the subscription presentation. Our detailed take: HTTPBot vs ReqPad.
The category's install leader (100K+ on Google Play) and the broadest feature set of the established apps: requests plus scripting and a terminal, on both iOS and Android. If you want an all-in-one mobile dev workspace — or you need Android today — Teste is the serious option. Trade-offs: no gRPC/MQTT/Socket.IO in its store metadata either, and it's worth scanning recent reviews for device-specific stability reports before relying on it. Details: Teste vs ReqPad.
web.postman.co loads on a phone and is genuinely Postman — but the layout, tap targets and the cloud Agent assumption are desktop-first. Fine for reading a collection on an iPad with a keyboard; frustrating as a daily phone tool. Full assessment in our Postman-on-mobile guide.
It depends on your protocols. For REST plus GraphQL, gRPC, MQTT, WebSocket and Socket.IO with your Postman collections imported, ReqPad covers ground no other mobile client does. For a long-established REST-only workflow, HTTPBot is a solid veteran, and Teste offers the broadest workspace features including scripting.
ReqPad imports Postman workspaces directly via Postman Cloud Sync, plus cURL, OpenAPI/Swagger and HAR. For other clients, check their current import options — most advertise cURL import at minimum.
No — Postman ships desktop and web clients only, and the mobile request has been open in their tracker for years. The web client loads in a phone browser but is built for desktop screens.
REST & WebSocket free forever, no account. Import your Postman workspaces in one tap and see if the rest earns Pro.
