Best for sending webhooks from your own product
Svix lets a SaaS or API company send webhooks to its customers. Free covers 50,000 messages a month with 7-day retention, Basic is $20, and static IPs, an unbranded portal and advanced RBAC need Professional at $490 a month.
Who Svix is for
- Fits if you run a SaaS and need to send webhooks to customers
- Works for small teams starting on the free 50k messages
Who Svix is not for
- Skip it if you only receive webhooks, since it is for sending
- Pricey if you need static IPs or an unbranded portal, which need Professional at $490
- Watch out: SSO, HIPAA and a BAA are Enterprise with custom pricing
- Tight if you pass 50k messages, because the page doesn't state overage billing
Why Svix gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyBasic starts at $20 a month, near the category's middle of $19.99; Professional is $490. The page doesn't say how messages beyond the first 50k are billed.
- BFree plan and trialFree: 50k messages a month at 50 messages per second with 7-day retention.
- CFeaturesOutbound webhooks and a customer portal. It does that one job fully, and it's a smaller job than general automation.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You add the SDK to your product, so it takes a developer.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb dashboard with AWS S3, Azure, Google Cloud Storage, Snowflake and OpenTelemetry connections.

Keep Svix, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Svix you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 90 of the 134 other automation tools we grade. It costs $240 a year.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
What this rests on. Svix’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Svix?
Svix is a webhook platform that lets a product send webhooks to its own customers. It handles delivery, retries and signing, and offers an embeddable portal where customers manage endpoints and view delivery logs. Related products cover receiving webhooks, data streaming and webhook testing. Pricing is by messages sent.
Worth knowing
- Free stops at 50k messages a month and 7 days of payload retention.
- Static source IPs, unbranded portal and advanced RBAC need Professional at $490 a month and up.
- SSO, HIPAA and a BAA are Enterprise features with custom pricing.
- The pricing page does not state how messages beyond the included 50k are billed.
Key features
- Webhook sending
- Svix Dispatch delivers a product's webhooks to its customers' endpoints with retries and signing. Svix Ingest covers receiving webhooks.
- Embeddable portal
- An application portal can be embedded in a customer dashboard so webhook consumers manage subscriptions and monitor delivery themselves.
- Usage-based counting
- Only attempted messages count toward usage. Messages filtered out by Svix, such as when no endpoints exist, and retries are free.
- Destinations
- Higher plans add object storage endpoints (AWS S3, Azure, Google Cloud Storage). Enterprise lists Snowflake and OpenTelemetry log streaming.
- Testing tools
- Svix Play is a separate tool for testing webhooks, and the site links an API reference, SDKs and a Terraform provider.
