Hoppscotch
Hoppscotch — A credible lightweight browser-based choice for quick REST exploration and response tests, but I would choose Bruno, Insomnia, or Postman first for deep automation and team-scale workflows.

Postman
Postman — My default recommendation for teams that need the broadest all-in-one API workspace, because Collections, scripted tests, scheduled runs, monitoring, performance testing, collaboration, and CI/CD execution via Postman CLI are unusually complete in one product.

Where the models split.
Across the 1 category Hoppscotch and Postman both appear in, the models never break ranks: in each one, the same brand leads on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity alike.
No model runs against the grain here: each of the four ranks Postman ahead at least as often as not, with Gemini the most lopsided.
