Frequently asked questions
Is Cruss really free for teams?
Yes. There is no member limit and no paywall on any collaboration feature. Every team feature — shared collections, Collection Runner, request chaining, environment variables — is free forever.
Can I import my Postman collections into Cruss?
Yes. Right-click any collection in the sidebar and choose "Import from Postman". Paste your Postman Collection v2.1 JSON and all requests, headers, and auth configs are imported automatically.
Does Cruss have a Collection Runner like Postman?
Yes. Right-click any collection and choose "Run collection". You can select which requests to include, set delays, and run multiple iterations. Assertion results appear inline.
Can Cruss test local APIs?
Yes. Install the VS Code extension (no CORS, runs in Node.js) or run npx cruss-agent to proxy localhost requests. Both work without a Cruss account.
Does Cruss support OpenAPI import?
Yes. Paste an OpenAPI 3.x or Swagger 2.0 spec to populate an entire collection in one step.
