Stoplight Reviews in June 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

Complete API Documentation platform

What do you like best? After evaluating several products to document multiple REST APIs - Postman, Swagger, API Blueprint and the main differentiator for me were: - the ability to mix OAS-style documentation and Markdown pages, giving a one-stop tool to write the entire API documentation. - a nice editor for the OAS doc, which offers both a UI and a way to edit JSON data directly The team was very responsive to questions during the trial, and after becoming a paying customer. ...

Best docs ever

What do you like best? After we start using stoplight all our customers have a more clear an easy documentation to read an integrate with us, also is great to maintain and the last update is just awesome.

The only missing piece on the docs is a native multi-language feature Recommendations to others considering the product: If for you the multi-language is a key part on stoplight you can't do it What problems are you solving with the product? What ...

The most complete API design tool available

What do you like best? Automatic contract testing is a must for an API design first workflow. Beautiful published documentation, very convenient visual OAS editor. Based on GIT, including versioning.

A single source of truth for API design, testing, documentation & mocking.

Simple collaborative swagger lifecycle

What do you like best? It's a great collaborative tool for front and back end developers and testers. We use swagger as the main contract to define back end services and models, so it allows us to quickly get a spec prior to development. We find that the editor really simplifies swagger management and history. We also really like the testing capabilities so that backend engineers are encouraged to write integration tests as part of their development and save these so that we can run tests ...

Beautiful and usable documentation caught our eye, design and testing hooked us

What do you like best? Ultimately the time required for developers to put together specifications, testing, and documentation has been decreased dramatically since starting to use Stoplight. Developers never like dealing with this necessary part of collaborating, but the Stoplight's UI allows us to create great OpenAPI specs make that process more standardized and consistent across the team which ultimately led to greater developer velocity as a whole. What do you dislike? It's Next ...
