The features you pay for are just GUI features. All of the things are still accessible in the terminal or IDE.

I'm not sure how adding a subscription is 'the same thing'. Postman forced all of your data to be stored in their cloud, and held it hostage for $1,000/user/year.

Bruno seems to charge somewhere between 70-130 dollars user/year for unlocking GUI features. The same features are all accessible via the terminal or IDE.

So basically you're just using the free version at the end of the day?
