Convoy vs Webhook Management

Convoy is a webhook gateway for sending and receiving events, with automatic retries for failed deliveries. It supports both incoming and outgoing webhooks and can ingest events from Amazon SQS, Apache Kafka, Google PubSub, RabbitMQ, and HTTP. A developer portal lets users inspect deliveries and configure or debug endpoints. Prometheus metrics and OpenTelemetry support provide observability, while separate control-plane and data-plane architecture uses PostgreSQL for event durability. Security features include HMAC signatures, static IPs, IP blacklisting, and replay attack prevention. Convoy is available through web and API access, and can be self-hosted; those deployments keep payloads, secrets, and logs in the customer’s infrastructure. Convoy states that it is SOC 2 and GDPR compliant and offers SSO, SAML, private networking, RBAC, and a 99.999% uptime SLA. The Community plan is free forever for one user and one organization. Premium costs $999 a month, and a 14-day trial is listed. Convoy is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

Webhook Management sends and tracks webhooks through a dashboard and REST API. Users can register and test endpoints, route selected event types, inspect deliveries, and replay historical events. Failed deliveries are retried with configurable exponential backoff, and events remain stored until delivery succeeds or they are manually cancelled. Each webhook is signed with HMAC-SHA256 so recipients can verify authenticity and detect tampering. The dashboard tracks delivery success, latency, and endpoint health, with failure alerts; consistently failing endpoints are disabled automatically. The product page states a 99.99% delivery rate and average latency under 200 ms. The API covers endpoint creation, sending and listing events, retrying events, and checking endpoint health. The maker describes use in SaaS integrations, payment events, event-driven architectures, and partner notifications. Starter is free for up to 10,000 API requests per month and includes seven-day log retention. Pro is billed monthly for usage, with unlimited API requests and Webhook Management listed at €0.0001/delivery. The Webhook Management plan is listed at free, starting at $0.0001 per event, with up to five retry attempts included; additional retries are charged. The product lists 30-day retention.
