Postman Pricing 2026

Yes, Postman offers a free plan for up to 3 users with 1,000 mock server requests/month, 25 collection runs/month, and basic API development features. The free plan works well for individual developers and very small teams.

Postman pricing: Free ($0 for up to 3 users), Basic ($14/user/month annual, $19/month monthly), Professional ($29/user/month annual, $39/month monthly), Enterprise ($49/user/month annual only). Annual billing provides 25% savings on Basic and Professional tiers.

Professional ($29/user/month annual) adds role-based access control, invite-only workspaces, partner workspaces, more private APIs (10 vs 3), and longer collection recovery (90 days vs 30 days) compared to Basic ($14/user/month annual). Professional is designed for teams collaborating with external partners.

Basic plan offers both monthly and annual billing. However, Professional and Enterprise plans require annual contracts only, despite showing 'per month' pricing. Annual billing on Basic and Professional saves 25% compared to monthly.

Postman is generally more expensive than Insomnia. Insomnia offers a free tier and paid plans starting around $8/user/month, while Postman Basic starts at $14/user/month. Postman's pricing reflects its broader feature set including API governance, mock servers, and monitoring.

Collection runs execute a series of API requests automatically for testing. All Postman plans, including Enterprise, limit collection runs to 25/month. For unlimited runs, you must purchase the Collection Runner add-on separately - this is one of Postman's most surprising hidden costs.

Postman offers 25% discounts for annual billing on Basic and Professional tiers. Startups may qualify for discounts through partner programs. Volume discounts are available for large teams (typically 50+ users) on Enterprise plans. Educational institutions and open source projects may qualify for special pricing.

Yes, Postman offers discounted pricing for verified educational institutions and open source projects. Nonprofits may qualify for discounts through Postman's partner programs. Contact Postman sales for specific nonprofit discount details and eligibility requirements.

Postman Enterprise ($49/user/month annual) includes SSO/SAML, SCIM provisioning, advanced RBAC, Private API Network, API governance tools, audit logs, unlimited private APIs, 100,000 mock server requests/month, 1M API calls/month, and dedicated support with SLAs.

Postman bills per user monthly or annually depending on plan. Basic offers both options, Professional and Enterprise require annual contracts. Overage charges for AI credits use pay-as-you-go pricing ($0.035-0.04/credit). Mock server and monitoring limits are hard caps requiring tier upgrades.

Yes, Postman Enterprise pricing is negotiable for larger teams (50+ users) or multi-year commitments. Volume discounts of 15-25% are possible. Best negotiation leverage comes at quarter-end or fiscal year-end. Contact Postman sales for custom quotes.

Exceeding mock server requests, monitoring requests, or API call limits typically requires upgrading to the next tier - Postman doesn't offer overage pricing for these. AI credits can be purchased pay-as-you-go. Collection runs are capped at 25/month across all plans without the separate add-on.

No. Postman has a strict no-refunds policy, even for cancellations submitted within days of renewal. Multiple users report that support consistently refers to this policy with no flexibility, even for non-profits or when seats were added accidentally and never used.

You cannot cancel or downgrade through the Postman website - all cancellation and downgrade requests must be manually processed by Postman support. Submit your request at least 3-4 weeks before your renewal date, as processing can take 2+ weeks. Users report being charged even after submitting cancellation requests before renewal.

Postman charges $19-$49 per user per month depending on the plan tier. For small teams, this adds up quickly - a 5-person team on the Professional plan pays $195/month ($2,340/year with monthly billing, or $1,740/year with annual billing). Additionally, critical features like security/governance and account management are locked behind Enterprise plans plus separate add-ons, forcing teams to pay for the full suite even if they only need basic features.

The Free plan is hard-capped at 25 collection runs per month. Once you hit this limit, you cannot run additional collections without upgrading to a paid plan (Basic starts at $19/month or $14/month annually) or purchasing add-on capacity. This is a common upgrade trigger for teams doing regular automated testing.
