Routebase Consolidates Postman, Swagger, Mocking and Uptime Monitoring Into One Spec, and Still Charges Per Seat
Berlin-based Routebase GmbH posted to Show HN on August 26, 2026 with an API lifecycle platform where one OpenAPI spec drives a visual editor, generated mock servers, test suites and security scans, a docs portal, drift and breaking-change monitoring, and a built-in MCP server so agents work the spec like a teammate. It replaces the job currently split across Postman, Swagger tooling and separate monitoring vendors. The pricing is the notable contradiction: Free, then $9, $19 and $39 per user per month with a 25-seat enterprise minimum, so a product whose whole premise is that agents do the work is still metered by human logins.
