Thunder Client is a commercial API client extension for Visual Studio Code, with a limited free tier and paid plans. Pages here cover moving to Bruno or Hoppscotch.
Comparing Thunder Client, which caps free use at three collections and puts imports and the CLI behind paid plans, with Bruno's open-source desktop client and bru CLI: where collections are stored, Git workflow, scripting, CI runs and price per seat.
Thunder Client inside the editor against Hoppscotch's web, desktop and CLI clients backed by a self-hosted instance: shared team workspaces, sign-in, imports and exports, and the work of running a Hoppscotch server.
Moving requests from Thunder Client to Bruno: exporting collections and environments in Postman format, importing them into Bruno, fixing scripts and variables, and moving CI runs from the Thunder Client CLI to bru run.
Cost of ownership by component: Thunder Client Starter, Business and Enterprise seats and the free plan limits, against Bruno's free and paid editions and a self-hosted Hoppscotch server, including the time to migrate collections.
