We’re reviewing our API development workflow and evaluating alternatives to Stoplight.
Some of the capabilities we’re looking for include:
- OpenAPI-first development
- API documentation
- Testing and debugging
- Team collaboration
- Smooth migration from existing Stoplight projects
If you’ve recently made the switch, what platform did you choose and why?
I’d love to hear about your migration experience and any lessons learned alon

Hi there,
Bump.sh is worth looking at if documentation quality is a priority. It is OpenAPI-first, has clean docs output, and is straightforward to migrate to from Stoplight.
Speakeasy is popular for teams that need SDK generation alongside their API docs, which Stoplight does not do well.
Scalar is a newer open source option that is gaining traction fast, clean UI and good OpenAPI support, and you can self-host it if needed.
Redocly is the closest feature-for-feature replacement for Stoplight Studio. It handles OpenAPI-first workflows, linting, docs, and team collaboration, and the migration from Stoplight is relatively smooth since both are built around the same OpenAPI spec format.
For hosting your API docs, DigitalOcean App Platform is a straightforward option if you are going with something like Scalar or Redoc that outputs a static site, free tier covers it for most teams.
