I completely stopped using all those clients. We now just store the requests alongside the code in an http file and use the built in IntelliJ HTTP Client to make the call. No need for a separate program, integrates with your code, you can save responses to make sure they don't change, it's all stored in git. There's a ton of benefits and not many downsides.

What is an HTTP file?
Once I learned about http files I never went back. It's so easy to share and use, I primarily use JetBrains but there are extensions for VSCode that do the same thing that I have used as well.
I am a fan of Insomnia. As far as I can tell it has most of the features I used in postman without all the paid upgrade nags
