Who Webhook Relay is for
- Fits if you need webhooks to reach a machine behind your firewall
- Works for a developer testing with a few hundred webhooks a month
Who it is not for
- Tight if you're staying free, with only 150 webhooks and 2 destinations a month
- Watch out: extra webhooks and outbound packs, such as +100k for $5 a month on Basic, cost more
- Watch out: only Basic shows a monthly price; the rest are yearly figures
- Skip it if you need a no-code builder, because it only forwards
Good to know
Good for
