Dispatch vs Webhooker

Dispatch receives webhooks, processes events, and delivers them to Discord, Slack, Telegram, or custom HTTP endpoints. It verifies incoming requests before storage, applies filters, formats payloads, and routes events to linked destinations. Filters can use header or body fields, and JSONata expressions can transform event data before formatting. Templates support Discord embeds, Slack Block Kit, and Telegram HTML with platform-specific variants. Failed deliveries can be retried with configurable exponential backoff, up to seven attempts by default. Documented source integrations include GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Jira, Linear, OpenAI, Shopify, Stripe, and others; destinations also include Google Chat and Webex. Its CLI forwards webhook events through a secure tunnel to a local development server, with binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Project-scoped API keys provide programmatic access. Dispatch says it encrypts destination URLs and tokens at rest and uses TLS 1.2 or higher for traffic. The cloud service has a free plan with 10,000 events per month and three days of history; paid plans start at $39/mo.

Webhooker is an inbound webhook gateway that verifies, stores, and delivers events to your services. It accepts HTTP POST webhooks from providers including Stripe, GitHub, and Shopify, and can check each source using HMAC-SHA256 or SHA1 signatures; invalid signatures receive HTTP 401. For each destination, it makes six delivery attempts over about five hours, with failed events available for resending from a dead letter queue. You can transform payloads per destination, inject headers, and sign outbound requests. A live SSE event stream, delivery history, replay, and in-app or email failure alerts help track processing. Delivery is at least once, so your receiving services should account for duplicates. The cloud service says ingest, storage, and delivery run on Hetzner servers in Germany, with backups in EU data centers. Plans retain events for 14, 30, or 90 days, depending on plan; the data processing agreement is available on paid plans. The Free plan is free, and Pro is €29 a month. Webhooker also offers a CLI for Linux, macOS, and Windows and a Management API for dashboard operations over HTTP.
