In their own words
HookBytes
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.
