Is anybody aware of alternatives? I'd like to compare before deciding which one to embrace.

I have a license through work. Respect/use it/love it so much I bought a license to use personally rather than recycling the license from work.

Looks like a nice tool, too expensive for me though.

mitmproxy is a fantastic tool and free. This is just marketing spam.

I am most familiar with Telerik's free product Fiddler. Looks like a similar feature set to Charles.
