Mockoon

Mockoon provides the easiest and quickest method for designing and running mock REST APIs. It operates locally, eliminating the need for remote deployment or account creation, and is available as a free, open-source application. This makes it a suitable choice for environments with high-security requirements or strict privacy regulations, as it functions offline first.

The tool integrates smoothly with existing workflows, including compatibility with the OpenAPI specification. Mockoon enhances API development and testing by offering features like dynamic templating, a rules-matching system, request recording, and proxy capabilities to simulate diverse scenarios effectively. Additionally, Mockoon Cloud offers features for real-time team collaboration, cloud deployment of mock APIs, and AI-powered generation of endpoints and templates to further streamline the development process.

SmartMock.io

SmartMock.io is a cloud-based solution designed for developers and teams who need to simulate HTTP APIs quickly and reliably. By providing hosted API mocks, the platform allows users to build, test, and validate integrations without being blocked by unavailable or unfinished third-party services. With features like static, template, dynamic, and proxy mocks, SmartMock.io enhances the speed and stability of software delivery by eliminating flaky tests and supporting comprehensive testing of edge cases, faults, and timeouts.

The platform supports workspace organization, multi-user collaboration, and seamless mock configuration through request-matching mechanisms and detailed workspace management. Integration with API descriptions such as OpenAPI or Swagger allows immediate mock creation, enabling fast feedback cycles and uninterrupted development. Users benefit from stateful behavior simulations, delayed responses, and automated quota tracking, all in a secure and collaborative environment.

FAQs

Mockoon FAQs

  • What is an "API mock" in Mockoon?
    An API mock is a collection of endpoints created in the desktop application to simulate a real API. Each mock can include an unlimited number of endpoints, rules, stateful routes, and more.
  • Which features are supported in Mockoon Cloud deployments?
    Nearly all features available in the desktop application are supported in cloud deployments. Some features may be unavailable due to technical limitations or security reasons. Please refer to the cloud documentation for specific details.
  • What is the difference between "Email support" and "Enterprise support"?
    Email support is standard for all paid customers, offering help without a guaranteed response time (usually within one business day). Enterprise support is a premium service for Enterprise plan users, providing guaranteed response times and negotiable SLAs.
  • How does per-seat billing work for Team and Enterprise plans?
    For Team and Enterprise plans, you select the required number of seats, and each seat is billed monthly. You can contact Mockoon support to add or remove seats at any time.
  • What payment methods does Mockoon accept?
    Mockoon accepts credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, etc.) through Paddle. Bank transfers are also available as an option for the Enterprise plan upon contacting them.

SmartMock.io FAQs

  • Does SmartMock.io offer a free plan?
    Yes, SmartMock.io provides a free plan that allows users to test key features with limited request and workspace quotas.
  • How is usage measured on SmartMock.io?
    Usage is tracked in terms of requests to mocks, workspaces, mocks, teams, and team members, with clear quotas depending on the selected plan.
  • Can SmartMock.io simulate error and timeout scenarios?
    Yes, the platform supports fault and delay simulations to test how your application reacts to errors or slow responses from APIs.
  • How can I organize different mocks and environments?
    Mocks are organized into workspaces, each with a unique URL, allowing you to separate different APIs and environments effectively.
  • Is it possible to collaborate with team members?
    SmartMock.io supports team collaboration, enabling you to manage and share API mocks with multiple users based on your subscription.
