Which should you use?
Use Bruno if…
You live in git, you want collections that diff cleanly in PRs, or you need to run requests from CI. Backend devs touching the API daily — this is you.
Use Hoppscotch if…
You want a Postman-like web UI, you want to share a request with a teammate by URL, or you only poke APIs occasionally and don't want to clone a repo.
