FAQ
Yes. Lodos API Tester supports direct import of Postman collection files (JSON format). Your endpoints, request headers, auth configurations, and environment variables carry over immediately — no manual rebuilding required.
Lodos API Tester focuses on request building, collection management, and manual testing workflows. Automated test scripts (similar to Postman's test runner) are on the product roadmap. For teams whose primary use case is building, organizing, and running API calls — which is the majority — Lodos API Tester covers the full workflow.
Postman charges per user per month for team features, with API documentation and advanced features on higher-tier plans. Lodos includes API Tester and API Documentation in the base workspace subscription — no per-seat pricing, no separate API tool bill. For teams of 3 or more, Lodos is significantly more cost-effective.
Yes. Lodos API Documentation generates from your API Tester collections automatically. Every request, parameter, and example response you've defined in your collection becomes the foundation of a shareable, versioned API reference — without manually writing documentation from scratch.
