Postman Pricing in 2026: Free, Solo, Team and Enterprise Plans Explained

Postman's plans explained: Free for one user, Solo $9 and Team $19 per user a month billed annually, add-ons, AI credits and what each limit means.

Published on:

Postman costs $0 on the Free plan, $9 a month on Solo and $19 per user a month on Team when you pay annually, and the Enterprise price comes from Postman's sales team. Postman's pricing page lists $12 a month for Solo and $23 per user a month for Team when you pay monthly.

Free and Solo include one user each, so a team that edits shared private workspaces needs Team or Enterprise. Every Postman plan also meters AI credits, API monitoring requests and calls to the Postman API each month, and paid plans can bill extra usage on top of the seat price.

How Much Does Postman Cost?

Each row below comes from Postman's pricing page and its comparison table. Solo is a one-user plan, so Postman prices it per month rather than per user.

Source: Postman's pricing page and comparison table, checked on November 9, 2026. Postman's pricing page lists two different figures for the Free plan's AI credits, so the table shows that cell as a limited allowance.

Which Postman Plan Fits Your Team?

  • Free - one developer who sends and tests requests by hand, runs collections in the Collection Runner and stays under 1,000 monitoring requests a month.
  • Solo - one developer who needs 400 AI credits a month, 10,000 monitoring requests, CSV or JSON data files in the Collection Runner, webhooks or custom-branded documentation.
  • Team - two or more people who edit the same workspaces, with unlimited workspace and collection viewers and basic role-based access control.
  • Enterprise - organizations that need SSO included, SCIM user provisioning, audit logs, a private API network or private runners for tests and Flows.

Monthly vs Annual Billing

Postman's pricing page has a Pay monthly and Pay annually toggle, and the annual option says "Save up to 25%". Solo costs $9 a month billed annually or $12 billed monthly, so annual billing saves 25% ($108 instead of $144 a year).

Team costs $19 per user a month billed annually or $23 billed monthly, so annual billing on Team saves about 17% ($228 instead of $276 per user a year). The 25% figure on Postman's toggle applies in full only to Solo.

Postman Add-Ons

Postman's pricing page sells these add-ons on top of the plan price:

  • Simple Security - SSO through your identity provider (Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace and others) for $6 per user a month on the Team plan. Postman says it must be turned on for all licensed users, is included with Enterprise, is not available on Free or Solo, and does not include SCIM provisioning.
  • Advanced Security Administration - domain capture, account discovery and control, cloud secret detection and bring-your-own-key encryption, for Enterprise only, priced by Postman's sales team.
  • Premium Support - contractual SLAs with a 1-hour response for critical issues, 24/7 coverage and priority channels, for Enterprise only, priced by Postman's sales team.

What Counts Against Postman's Plan Limits?

Postman meters these resources every month, separately from the price per user.

AI Credits

AI credits pay for Postman's Agent Mode actions, such as generating requests, writing tests, updating documentation and running workflow steps. Postman's pricing page lists 400 credits a month on Solo, 400 per user a month on Team and 800 per user a month on Enterprise, where the Enterprise credits are pooled across users.

On paid plans, Postman's pricing page lists extra credits at $0.05 each on Solo, $0.04 on Team and $0.035 on Enterprise, charged only when a Billing Admin turns on pay-as-you-go. The same page shows two different figures for the Free plan's AI credits, so check the allowance in your own Postman account before you plan around it.

API Monitoring Requests

Postman counts monitoring requests per team, not per user: its pricing page lists 1,000 a month on Free and 10,000 a month on Solo, Team and Enterprise. A 50-person Team plan therefore gets the same 10,000 monitoring requests as a one-person Solo plan.

Postman's monitor-usage docs count each request in a monitored collection as one call, count each region separately, and add the requests from scheduled collection runs to the same limit. A monitor that runs a 10-request collection every hour from one region uses about 7,200 requests in a 30-day month (10 x 24 x 30), more than seven times the Free allowance.

On paid plans, Postman's pricing page lists extra monitoring at $20 per 50,000 requests per team a month.

Postman API Calls

Calls to the Postman API are programmatic requests that manage workspaces, collections and other Postman assets, for example from a script in your CI pipeline. Postman's pricing page lists 10,000 calls a month on Free, 100,000 on Solo, 1 million on Team and 10 million on Enterprise.

Postman's resource-usage docs say that once you reach the monthly limit, the Postman API returns a "Service limit exhausted" error until the limit resets or you upgrade.

Integrations

Postman's pricing page caps integrations at 5 on Free, 10 on Solo, 50 on Team and 100 on Enterprise. Postman's resource-usage docs add that 2026 plans include unlimited integrations with collaboration tools (Slack, Microsoft Teams and Jira), and that the cap applies to integrations with API development tools.

Postman's docs also say that at the cap you can't add a new integration until you delete an existing one or upgrade.

Other Usage Charges

  • Automation Flows credits - Postman's pricing page includes 25 a month on Free, 50 on Solo, 100 per team on Team and 500 per team on Enterprise, and lists extra Flows credits at $1 per 1,000 on paid plans.
  • Cloud performance testing - $0.04 per virtual user hour on Solo, Team and Enterprise, where Postman's docs define a virtual user hour as the number of virtual users multiplied by the test's duration in hours. A 30-minute cloud test with 100 virtual users uses 50 virtual user hours, which costs $2.
  • Local performance testing - unlimited on every plan, per Postman's comparison table, because virtual user hours apply to cloud runs only.

Postman's docs say pay-as-you-go for cloud performance tests is on by default, and a user with the Billing role can turn it off.

What Happens When You Hit a Limit?

Postman's pricing FAQ says Postman notifies you as you approach a limit, then either bills the extra usage on paid plans with pay-as-you-go turned on or pauses the feature until the next billing cycle. On the Free plan, Postman's monitor-usage docs say monitors pause for the rest of the billing period once the team reaches its monthly limit.

On paid plans, Postman's docs say monitoring overages are allowed by default, so monitors keep running and each extra request is billed. You can turn overages off in Postman's billing settings if you prefer a hard stop.

Can a Team Use Postman's Free Plan?

No. Postman's Free plan includes one user, and Postman's pricing FAQ calls Free and Solo "single-player plans". Postman's comparison table says Free and Solo support single-user internal workspaces, while Team and Enterprise support multi-user collaboration.

A second editor, or a view-only reviewer for your private workspaces, needs the Team plan, which adds unlimited workspace and collection viewers. Public workspaces are available on every Postman plan, but anyone can view what you put in them.

On the Free plan, one developer still gets the API client, collections and environments, mock servers, the Postman CLI, Native Git and unlimited Collection Runner runs, which Postman's comparison table lists on every plan. CSV or JSON data files in the Collection Runner, webhooks, private NPM packages and cloud performance testing start at Solo.

What Does Postman Cost for 5, 20 and 50 Users?

A team of two or more people needs Team or Enterprise, and only Team has a published price. The table uses Postman's Team price of $19 per user a month billed annually, multiplied by the number of users and by 12 months, and adds the $6 Simple Security add-on in the last column.

Team sizeTeam plan per month (billed annually)Team plan per yearTeam plus Simple Security (SSO)
5 users5 x $19 = $95$95 x 12 = $1,1405 x ($19 + $6) = $125 a month, or $1,500 a year
20 users20 x $19 = $380$380 x 12 = $4,56020 x ($19 + $6) = $500 a month, or $6,000 a year
50 users50 x $19 = $950$950 x 12 = $11,40050 x ($19 + $6) = $1,250 a month, or $15,000 a year

Billed monthly at $23 per user, the same teams pay $115, $460 and $1,150 a month, which is $240, $960 and $2,400 more per year than annual billing. Usage charges come on top of these totals, and the 10,000 monitoring requests a month stay the same whether the Team plan has 5 users or 50.

Cheaper or Free Postman Alternatives

If the price per user is the problem, other API clients have free plans: Bruno's pricing page lists a free Open Source edition, Insomnia's lists a free Essentials plan, and Hoppscotch's lists a free plan. Our guide to Postman alternatives compares free and paid options, from API clients to code-first test frameworks.

If you mainly use Postman to automate API checks, TestMu AI's API testing lets KaneAI import your Postman collections and run them as test steps next to UI tests, though it is not an API client for exploring APIs by hand.
