A Requestly alternative
Requestly is excellent inside a browser tab. The day your bug is inside an iPhone app, you need a capture that lives on the phone.
People look for a Requestly alternative when the traffic they need has left the browser: a native iOS or Android app, a fleet of test phones, or a backend they want the whole team watching. Busymate DevTools captures on the device itself, folds the browser and the proxy into the same feed, and gives an AI agent a supervised seat at the table.
Try one workflow before switching
- Keep your existing capture files. Pair one test device with Busymate and capture a request you already understand.
- Recreate one mock or breakpoint and check the result. Existing proxy settings and rules are not automatically transferred.
- Confirm that cloud storage, the retention window, and device access grants suit your team before moving a larger workflow.
Built for the phone,
Compare the complete workflow: where capture runs, how you share access, and how you automate debugging.
Capture from iPhone, Android, Chrome, the proxy, and your phone farm in one place. Teammates see requests from devices they own or have been granted access to.
454 MCP tools let your agent inspect captured traffic and act within your role. Destructive actions require confirmation.
A rack of real Android and iOS devices you mirror, tap and script from the browser — or from a sentence typed to the agent.
Permissions are enforced in the database, actions are recorded in an audit trail, and the dashboard and API cannot reveal stored vault secrets.

When Requestly is the right pick
Plenty of teams should keep using Requestly. These are the cases where we would tell you to.
Your work is in the browser
Header edits, redirects, script injection and mocks straight from an extension — no proxy, no certificate. For front-end teams that is the shortest path.
You want an API client with Git in it
Collections stored as JSON in your repo, environments, a runner and a CLI for CI — Requestly is an API client first.
You need SOC 2 and SSO today
Requestly lists SOC 2 Type II, SSO and audit logs on its paid tiers. If procurement asks for those names, it has the answers ready.
Questions people ask
Can I still rewrite requests in the browser?
Yes — point Chrome at the local proxy or run the bmc capture, then use mocks, block rules and breakpoints. There is no extension-style script injection into pages; if that is your main use, keep Requestly for it.
Is there an API client and collection runner?
No. Busymate DevTools is a capture and control tool, not a collection-based API client. Resend replays a captured request and the REST API exposes what you captured, but there is no Postman-style workspace.
Do I get team roles and an audit trail?
Yes. Roles are enforced in the database with row-level security, every action across every surface lands in an append-only audit trail, and secrets go into a write-only vault that no surface can read back.
How does the free tier compare?
Requestly is free for up to 10 collaborators with Pro at $12 per user per month. Busymate DevTools is free to install today; its paid tiers are published as a draft and are not final.
