Better alternative to Charles Proxy
Charles Proxy is a popular HTTP traffic debugging tool, but it has limitations such as a steep learning curve, lack of collaboration
features, VPN incompatibility, and the need to switch between browser & Charles. Requestly is a modern, user-friendly alternative that provides the power of Charles Proxy within the browser. It provides a browser extension and desktop application for debugging HTTP traffic on all platforms - Web browsers, Mobile browsers, Android & iOS apps. Requestly also provides an in-built mock server and session recording for recording & sharing http sessions with teammates for faster debugging.

Here are a few reasons why you should pick Requestly over Charles Proxy.
Effortlessly collaborate
Active Support
No performance impact
Zero VPN and Proxy Issues
Say goodbye to proxy and VPN issues with Requestly! While Charles Proxy and other proxy-based solutions modify your system's network configuration to intercept traffic, Requestly's Chrome/Firefox extension uses browser extension APIs to modify network traffic according to your rules. This means that no proxy is applied at the browser level, ensuring smooth and reliable performance.
Simple & Powerful UI
Requestly brings the power of Charles proxy with improved user experience and collaboration features. You can use Requestly to modify any part of HTTPs request and response, including:

We've just Integrated Requestly into our Android App & loving the experience. Solves so many issues already. This is a must-have tool for our development team.
Nikhil Bansal
Co-Founder at Alippo
We struggle with Charles proxy every day. It is very hard to set up & use. Our QAs can now easily identify whether there is a frontend bug or back-end bug. Feature request - Ability to bookmark a Request/Response and embed the link in the JIRA tickets.
Afsheen Amroliwala
Software Development Engineer
With Requestly, we can quickly set up "Replace Rules for switching API & Javascript Hosts" and load selective (or all) APIs from the local environment directly on higher environments. This saved us a lot of hassle, time & effort in working across environments. It's a go-to tool every day for Devs & QAs now.

Requestly is a game-changer for us. It started with one person and now the entire team uses Requestly to test our Staging code on production customers & non-customer sites. We more confidently ship product updates now.
