Postman Alternative for Teams, Unlimited Members Free · Evlio

Animation: in a Postman Free workspace, invites to four teammates each come back "Team plan required". The same workspace then becomes Evlio Free: every invite flips to Joined, the team grows to 12 members, and a hosted MCP server appears with Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT calling it.

Same collection. Drag the line.
Left: Postman Free. Right: Evlio Free.
01
Import
Bring the collection. Import takes a minute.
Everything you built in Postman comes with you. Nothing to rewrite.
Everything comes with it
Requests, folders, environments, and auth. The collection works the minute it lands.
38
requests
4
folders
2
environments
Bearer auth
Collection or spec, either works
Postman Collection v2.1 JSON, Postman environment JSON, or OpenAPI 3.x and 2.0 in YAML or JSON. Connect the repo later and the spec comes from code. Monitors, mock servers and Postman-specific scripts stay in Postman.
postman_collection.json
or
openapi.yaml
Later:
acme/payments-api
keeps it in sync
The team comes too
The people who already use the collection join with one paste. Seats stay free.
5 members, $0 a seat
02
Beyond the client
Everything Postman Free leaves out
The client was never the hard part. This is what your APIs need once a team and its agents depend on them.
API catalog
Free
Every endpoint in your repo, found, grouped, and scored. No spec needed.
Insights
Free
Design, security, and AI readiness scores, with fixes written for you.
Hosted MCP
Free
Generate the server and Evlio runs it. Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT install it in one line.
MCP insights and logs
Business
Every agent call by agent and key, with latency, errors, and tokens. 30-day retention on Business; full logs and export on Enterprise.
API contracts
Startup
Decide what each audience gets, and stop breaking changes before they ship. 1 internal contract on Startup, all audiences on Business.
Catalog, insights, and a hosted MCP are on Free. Startup adds contracts, Business adds MCP logs, and both raise the volume.

On Free,
the hosted server reports its status and calls today. Per-agent and per-key logs come on Business, with 30-day retention; Enterprise adds full logs and export. With a server you host yourself, they are yours to build.

Side by side
What stays free, and what it costs after
Request testing is a tie, and so is SSO. The rest is the team, the catalog, a hosted MCP, and a price that does not grow with headcount.

Switching
Keep Postman while you switch
Some of your team will want the Postman client for a while. Let them. On Business and above, Evlio exports a fresh Postman collection on every sync, so Postman users on your team keep working from the same source. Run both for a week, then decide.

FAQ
Is Evlio really free for a team?
Yes. Every plan, including Free, has unlimited members. Free covers one workspace (one repo), one hosted MCP server and 1,000 tool calls a month. No card.
What happens to my collection when I import it?
Requests, folders, environments and auth come over with history. Your Postman workspace is untouched.
Can my teammates keep using Postman?
Yes. On Business and above, Evlio exports a fresh Postman collection on every sync, so anyone still in the Postman client works from the same source.
Do I need an OpenAPI spec?
No. Import a Postman collection or connect a repo and Evlio generates the spec.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Evlio runs on infrastructure covered by Evlio’s SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001/27701 certifications, and is GDPR compliant. The full posture, including encryption and SSO, is at evlio.xyz/security.
What does Postman Free actually include now?
As of October 20, 2026, Postman’s Free plan is limited to one user and can’t create a team. Source: Postman’s plan documentation at learning.postman.com/docs/billing/about-plans.
