Source: https://www.svix.com/pricing/ ## 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. ## Good for - SaaS and API companies adding outbound webhooks to their product - Small teams that want a free tier for first webhooks ## 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. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. 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. - **Value for money: C.** Basic 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. - **Free plan and trial: B.** Free: 50k messages a month at 50 messages per second with 7-day retention. - **Features: C.** Outbound webhooks and a customer portal. It does that one job fully, and it's a smaller job than general automation. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You add the SDK to your product, so it takes a developer. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web dashboard with AWS S3, Azure, Google Cloud Storage, Snowflake and OpenTelemetry connections.
