Review Thunder Client?

Thunder Client is praised for its seamless integration with Visual Studio Code, offering a user-friendly interface for API testing. Users appreciate its simplicity and efficiency, often comparing it favorably to Postman. However, recent changes to a paid model have sparked criticism, with some users feeling misled by the initial free offering. Despite this, many find it a valuable tool for streamlining their development workflow, highlighting its ease of use and the convenience of having an API client directly within their coding environment.

Cons

free tier limitations (3)

Recently went paid with a limit of 25 requests per collection on the free tier. ** BEWARE ** Several reviews have also pointed out it is deleting your collections and environments if you roll back to the previously free version. Happened to me as well.

Great user experience as it is similar to other http clients. Was missing easy github integration for collaboration with the rest of the team.
