Considered Both Products
Cypress.io
Chose Cypress.io
Execution speed and interactive debugging tool is very easy. you can make changes in the fly and test will run automatically, thus saving more time debugging your code. Can easily be intergrated to to CI/CD pipeline.
Chose Cypress.io
Easier to use from the start. Back to front workflow integration makes it more fun to use than Selenium. Usable for free other than very expensive Smartbear solutions.
Chose Cypress.io
Cypress.io is easy to start with and is independent of other automation tools. Unless we are looking for automating every edge case, Cypress.io can do it without using any plugins. Also, when a test fails, we can travel back to the state in which the test failed (aka time …
SoapUI Open Source
Chose SoapUI Open Source
SoapUI Open Source is free, which is good for light use or simple things here and there. There is a Pro version that makes things more user-friendly. I also like that custom code can also be used for doing more complicated tasks.

Chose SoapUI Open Source
Compared to SoapUI, we have been using "light" tools like RestClient extension in Firefox, or Postman.

Compared to Postman, SoapUI is more simple for WSDL / SOAP webservices, as SoapUI generate all envelop, but Postman does not.
Chose SoapUI Open Source
Every application has its own features and UI design but SoapUI is also very good at testing. All features are awesome.

Automating a test is very easy when you start with Cypress.io. It is extremely easy to set up and use. Also, debugging a failed test is hassle-free because of its time travel feature. We can do both web UI and API testing with Cypress.io and the only prerequisite is some knowledge in Javascript.

If you are making system upgrade project and you have existing system working and you want to imitate messages that are going in production but without making any data loads or switch it’s very suitable and convenient software. It serves well in manual test scenarios but wouldn’t be as good in case of mass tests.

SoapUI Open Source is free, which is good for light use or simple things here and there. There is a Pro version that makes things more user-friendly. I also like that custom code can also be used for doing more complicated tasks. I like that SoapUI can have a process/flow (conditional/loop/waits/etc.) set up for scripting purposes, which is good for beginners and light users. However, I think the user interface has room for improvement.
