Discovering private APIs with Charles.app

There's often more than one piece of software to do something and that's OK. I've hacked up simple MITM proxies myself more than once in the last 15 years.

Charles is not new, it's been around more than 10 years.

I think that generally saying 'what does X do that Y doesn't' comes across as fairly negative, and unless there's some obvious reason why Y should be the default adds little.

I'd never heard of burp, but I had heard of Charles. Is there some obvious reason why burp should be the default?

Never heard of either, but just used both and the free version of Burp seems complete enough and is free. Charles is restricted when free ($50 license) but looks better.

edit: additionally, Burp uses a custom certificate instead of a default one for all Charles users
