HookBytes vs Webhook Relay

HookBytes provides webhook infrastructure as a managed cloud service or an open-source self-hosted gateway. It creates dynamic endpoints with HMAC authentication and custom routing rules, then delivers events asynchronously with exponential backoff and a dead letter queue for failed deliveries. Users can search, filter, inspect, and replay events through the dashboard or CLI. Stored payloads include event history and metadata such as headers and delivery status. The Open Source plan is a self-hosted Laravel gateway with full source access, an MIT license, community support, and unlimited webhooks at free. Cloud Starter costs $29 a month for up to 100K webhooks monthly, standard support, a 99.9% uptime SLA, email and Slack alerts, API rate limiting, and real-time monitoring. Enterprise has custom pricing, unlimited webhooks, a 99.99% uptime SLA, multi-region deployments, dedicated support, on-premise options, and custom integrations. HookBytes is available through API, self-hosted, and web platforms.

Webhook Relay receives webhooks, transforms payloads and delivers events to public URLs, private servers, localhost or cloud services such as AWS and GCP. It stores incoming events and retries delivery with exponential backoff for up to 30 days. JavaScript or Lua functions can filter, route and transform payloads. Tunnels expose local servers through encrypted connections described as available in multiple regions and non-expiring. The site lists uses with Stripe, GitHub, Shopify, Jenkins, Bitbucket, AWS, GCP and Azure. Webhook Relay can run on customer infrastructure; its agent is available for Linux, Windows and macOS, as well as in a Docker container. The company says it has SOC 2 Type II certification and describes authenticated agents and encrypted tunnels for reaching internal services. The free plan includes 150 webhooks per month, up to two destinations and one input. Its pricing FAQ says free-plan buckets are temporarily suspended from receiving webhooks when the monthly quota is reached. Basic costs $8.99 per month and includes 5,000 webhooks per month, 10 destinations and eight bidirectional tunnels.
