In their own words
RelayHQ
RelayHQ receives provider webhooks, queues them, and delivers them to configured services with routing rules, retries, and request logs. Permanent inbound URLs can fan requests out to multiple destinations. Rules can filter by JSON payload path or HTTP header and combine conditions with AND or OR. Failed deliveries can be retried up to five times with exponential backoff, and requests can be replayed manually from the dashboard. The site names Stripe, GitHub, and Shopify as webhook sources.
The service documents a REST API that accepts bearer API keys or a valid session cookie. Its Free plan includes a CLI local tunnel for development. RelayHQ says setup can be completed in under five minutes without managing infrastructure or configuring message brokers. The service runs on cloud infrastructure in US East (IAD). The privacy policy says traffic uses TLS 1.2 or higher, API keys are hashed before storage, and passwords use bcrypt. The maker says it does not sell personal information or use webhook payloads beyond delivery to configured destinations. The Free plan allows three endpoints and 500 requests monthly; paid plans start at $23/mo (annual).
Webhooker
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.
