Paw (RapidAPI) is a native macOS API client with code generation, environments, and team sync. It handles native macos, code gen, dynamic values, and extensions, and it's best suited for macos developers wanting a native api client. It has been around since 2012, giving it a 14-year head start in building out integrations and refining the product.

Paid plans start at $49.99 one-time, which unlocks the full feature set. It's aimed at individual users, so it's fast to set up but may lack team-management features if you scale.
