I thought RapidAPI.com would be a direct competitor, but their site changed a lot. Have they pivoted from monetizing an API, directly? If so, then I'd definitely keep Kable on my radar.
RapidAPI does offer some of the tools that Kable offers. And if you're looking to monetize a single REST endpoint, RapidAPI is probably the right tool for the job.
Kable is infrastructure for API companies, brands, and larger projects. You wouldn't find Twilio's SMS API in RapidAPI's marketplace, nor would you find many of today's hottest new API-first companies. Kable's mission is to help those companies launch quickly and scale.
Oh, I bought the vision. I'm impressed with what's available at launch, even.
Personally, yes, I'm much more aligned with Kable value proposition. It solves pain points I have today and by experience (authentication schemes, how to throttle calls, how to monitor etc).
