Beeceptor alternative: Mockfly vs Beeceptor
Beeceptor is one of the first results for "mock server" and a solid tool: a hosted endpoint in seconds, live request inspection, rules and a proxy. Where it gets expensive is the metering: requests are counted per endpoint on every plan. Here is how the two compare on limits, price and features.
What Beeceptor does well
Beeceptor gives you a subdomain, for example my-api.free.beeceptor.com, that answers instantly and shows every incoming request in a real-time console. You add mock rules matching path, method, headers or body, with templating for dynamic values, and anything unmatched can be proxied to a real API. It also offers CRUD-style REST mocks, OpenAPI-based mocking and a local tunnel.
Its pricing model is the catch. One "endpoint" is one subdomain, and requests are metered per endpoint per month: 50 a day on the free plan, 15,000 a month on Individual, 100,000 on Team. A frontend polling a list during development can burn through that quickly.
What changes with Mockfly
- Projects with many endpoints. A Mockfly project has as many endpoints as you need (4 on the free plan, unlimited on Pro), each with several responses. No per-subdomain accounting.
- No request metering on paid plans. Pro and Team have unlimited requests. The free plan is 500 a day.
- Rules without templating code. 16 comparators on query params, headers, URL params, body fields, JSONPath, XML tags or XPath, with AND/OR groups nested up to three levels, from a form.
- Realistic data. Faker.js templates and AI-generated JSON bodies.
- More ways in. Import OpenAPI, Postman and HAR, or capture real traffic with the Chrome extension. Public API and MCP server for automation, offline CLI for no-network days.
- Team pricing that stays flat. 49€ a month for 5 seats and one invoice.
Where Beeceptor is the better choice
- You mainly want to inspect webhooks or callbacks hitting a URL, not serve an API.
- You need a local tunnel to expose a service on your laptop.
- One endpoint with a few rules covers the whole use case.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Beeceptor free plan include?
At the time of writing: one public endpoint (a subdomain), 50 requests a day per endpoint and 3 mock rules. Mockfly Starter gives you a project with 4 endpoints, 2 responses each and 500 requests a day, also free.
How do Beeceptor and Mockfly count requests?
Beeceptor meters requests per month and per endpoint on every plan (15,000 on Individual, 100,000 on Team). Mockfly counts 500 a day on the free plan and does not count at all on Pro and Team.
Can I inspect incoming requests in Mockfly like in Beeceptor?
Yes. Every project has request logs with method, path, headers, body and the response that was served, plus body history for each endpoint. Beeceptor's real-time console is very good at this too.
Does Mockfly support proxying like Beeceptor?
Yes, per endpoint: mock the routes that do not exist yet and forward the rest to the real API, then flip an endpoint to the real backend when it ships. See the docs on switching between mock and real API.
