What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 90 of the 134 other automation tools we grade

Related products cover receiving webhooks, data streaming and webhook testing. Pricing is by messages sent.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
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.
