Insomnia pricing
Insomnia publishes 3 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.
As of 30 August 2026, Insomnia pricing is free across 3 published tiers. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

Insomnia plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essentials | Free | 8 | Entry tier |
| Pro | $12/user/month | 4 | +$12/user/month, 4 more features |
| Enterprise | $45/user/month | 6 | +$33/user/month, 6 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

What the product covers
The full Insomnia feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.

People bring Insomnia in for sending and debugging http, graphql and grpc requests, storing collections in git rather than a vendor cloud, mocking an api endpoint before it exists, running collections in ci with the inso cli, environment management across staging and production. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Insomnia are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Testing
Too few testing tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.
| Tool | Entry price | Model | Rated | Head to head |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Insomnia (this page) | Free | freemium | - | |
| Jest | Free | Open source, no licence fee | - | vs Insomnia |
| Cucumber | Free | Open source, no licence fee | - | vs Insomnia |
| Percy | Free | Freemium, paid tiers by screenshot volume | - | vs Insomnia |
| Detox | Free | Open source, no licence fee | - | vs Insomnia |
| Appium | Free | Open source, no licence fee | - | vs Insomnia |
| PractiTest | On request | Per user per month, yearly minimum on Corporate tier | - | vs Insomnia |
Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Insomnia badges page.
Before you pay for Insomnia
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between Free and $45/user/month, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Insomnia runs on windows, macos, linux, web, and is published by Kong Inc. of San Francisco, California, USA. The full record is on the Insomnia review, and the rest of the category is under best testing tools.
