Paw vs Pactflow: What are the differences?
What is Paw? The ultimate REST client for Mac. Paw is a full-featured and beautifully designed Mac app that makes interaction with REST services delightful. Either you are an API maker or consumer, Paw helps you build HTTP requests, inspect the server's response and even generate client code.
What is Pactflow? Fast, easy and reliable testing for your APIs and microservices. Deploy into production with impunity, and have visibility into the integration of your stack. It ensures that all components are communicating correctly before a release, without costly and brittle integration tests. We integrate with Pact and Spring Cloud Contract, enabling powerful collaboration features for the enterprise.

Some of the features offered by Paw are:
- Organize your Requests, make Groups or sort by Host, Name, etc.
