Paw vs StopLight: What are the differences?
Developers describe Paw as "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. On the other hand, StopLight is detailed as "Visual API Tooling". Stop writing thousands of lines of specification code. Our intuitive visual editors significantly cut down on design time, and are spec agnostic. Generate OAI (Swagger) and RAML specification code on demand.
Paw and StopLight belong to "API Tools" category of the tech stack.
Some of the features offered by Paw are:
- Organize your Requests, make Groups or sort by Host, Name, etc.
- Easily build your requests, enjoy Formatters and Dynamic Values.
- See Request and Response infos, headers, and body.
On the other hand, StopLight provides the following key features:

- Robust HTTP request maker
- One click hosted documentation
"Great interface" is the primary reason why developers consider Paw over the competitors, whereas "Intuitive UX" was stated as the key factor in picking StopLight.
