What each one is
The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.
Apidog

Swagger UI
A tool that automatically transforms OpenAPI specifications into visual, interactive documentation allowing developers to explore and test API operations directly without implementing the backend. Works across browsers and deployment environments as a set of reusable web components.
