# Apidog

API platform that combines a request client, test scenarios, mock servers and published docs, with a free plan for up to four users.

70 points out of 100. #4 of 11 API clients. Vendor: Apidog. Website: https://apidog.com/

- The Free plan covers up to 4 team members and 5 projects, with real-time collaboration [1].
- Basic costs $9 per seat a month on the yearly price ($108 a year), or $12 a month when billed monthly [1].
- SAML single sign-on is part of the Enterprise plan only [16].
- Apps are offered for Windows, macOS and Linux, plus a web version that needs a free account [2].
- Apidog's blog says it achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance, in a post dated 2 February 2026 [17].

Verdict: Apidog suits small teams that want one tool for sending requests, running test scenarios, mocking and publishing docs [3][4][7][11][12]. The Free plan allows up to four users, and Basic is $9 a seat on yearly billing [1]. The catch: its main modes need an account, and its offline and Git file modes are in beta [2][14][15]. Best for: Small teams that want design, testing, mocking and docs in one tool.
