Other reasons that I also like Insomnia (I've used Paw as well):

- Cross platform

- Simpler use for non-experts

- No need for pro (paid subscription) for my needs, so it's completely free

- Feels nicer than all of the browser "REST explorer" plugins

Agree on these points as well, also love that it's open source[0]

Haven't used paw, but agreed with above about Insomnia, and:

- GraphQL support is pretty decent

- Copy as CURL is awesome

Don't forget the ability to paste a curl command into the url to import it!

paw has both these features (export to curl or httpie and import from curl)

And it costs $50. Also, I am sure that many people know that Paw is a good tool. It is just expensive and I don't like the UX.
