Hookdeck alternatives (2026)
The webhook platforms most often considered instead of Hookdeck, with honest pros, cons and the situation each one suits.
In short
- The short answer: HookGet — managed EU delivery, an embeddable white-label portal your customers run themselves, per-endpoint secrets and retries, and $199 as the first paid step.
- Why people leave Hookdeck: their signature is computed from one project-level secret, and the retention on the cheaper tiers is short.
- Where Hookdeck still wins: You want a true local tunnel, queues and buses through Outpost, OpenTelemetry, or you would genuinely rather run the engine yourself under Apache-2.0.
- The verdict: Hookdeck if you want a real tunnel, non-HTTP destinations, or to self-host under Apache-2.0. HookGet if you want a secret per destination rather than one per project, and would rather not operate anything.
What each one costs at 10 million deliveries a month
Read off each vendor's own published pricing on 20 August 2026. The gap is not a trick: Svix Professional includes 50,000 messages — the same allowance as its free tier — and lists $100 per million past it.
| Product | A month of 10 million deliveries | What that buys |
|---|---|---|
| HookGet | $399 | 30-day retention, embeddable white-label self-service portal, every delivery feature |
| Hookdeck Outpost Growth | $599 | 30-day retention, 99.99% SLA, SOC 2, SSO |
| Convoy Premium | $999 | A self-hosted licence — you run and pay for the hardware |
| Hook0 Pro | €890 | EU hosting, embeddable portal, 99.9% SLA |
| Svix Professional | $1,485 | Unbranded portal, SOC 2 Type II, 99.99% SLA |
Svix Professional includes the same 50,000 messages its free tier includes; their page lists $0.0001 per message past it. The bars are to scale except the smaller one, which is drawn at the narrowest width that is still visible — it is 0.25% of the other.
The alternatives
HookGet Recommended
$449 a month includes twenty million deliveries. Svix Professional is $490 and includes 50,000. That is the whole difference in one line, and everything below is why it is not a trick.
Managed webhook delivery, hosted in the EU, with the things teams discover they need only after a destination breaks: retry schedules set per endpoint, a secret per endpoint with overlapping rotation, dead letters you can replay with the original event id, gap repair for events that were published but never attempted, circuit breaking after 50 consecutive failures, and filters that read the payload so a destination receives what it actually asked for. Signatures follow Standard Webhooks in both of its schemes — HMAC, and ed25519 for the partner who has to verify your deliveries without being able to forge one.
- Best for: teams who want managed EU delivery with every capability on every paid plan — including an embeddable, white-label consumer portal your customers administer themselves, which is the feature the category leader charges $490 for.
- Not a good fit for: anyone who needs a published uptime SLA, a SOC 2 report today, SAML SSO, a Terraform provider, or JavaScript transformations.
- Pricing: free for 10,000 deliveries a month and it blocks rather than bills — trying HookGet cannot produce an invoice, which is not true of every free tier here. Then $199 for 2 million, and $449 for 20 million.

Why people look for an alternative to Hookdeck
- The Hookdeck signature is computed from the project's secret. A per-destination secret means configuring a custom signature or another destination auth method instead. source
- Retention is 3 days on the free tier, and the free tier is one user and 10,000 events a month. source
- Event Gateway overage starts at $3.00 per 100,000 events — $30 per million at the lowest volume band. source
- SSO, SAML and SCIM start at Growth, which is $499 a month. source
- A static IP your consumers can allowlist is a $100 add-on rather than part of the plan. source
- Inbound URLs live on their domain (
hkdk.events) — although that is true of every hosted gateway, ours included. source
How to read this page. Every claim about another product below was read off that company's own public pages on 20 August 2026, and each one links to the page it came from — check it yourself, that is what the links are for. Pricing and features move without anyone telling us, so our build fails if this page goes more than 120 days without a re-check. Everything stated about HookGet is something you can verify in the product today, including the rows where we lose. If we have something wrong, tell us and it is fixed the same day.
Svix
The category leader, and the authors of the Standard Webhooks specification.
- Best for: you need a portal your customers administer themselves, JavaScript transformations, HIPAA or PCI-DSS, a published uptime SLA, or a Terraform provider.
- Worth weighing: the step from their free tier to the next one is $490 a month.

Convoy
A bi-directional webhook gateway, open-core, available either self-hosted or as their cloud.
- Best for: you want to self-host an open-core gateway on your own hardware, or you want their cloud with SOC 2 and SAML.
- Worth weighing: much of what a team wants in production sits behind the $999/month Premium licence.

Hook0
A small, EU-first webhook service from France — bootstrapped, six years in service, source-available under SSPL-1.0.
- Best for: you want EU hosting from a small independent European company, per-subscription retry control, and a portal for your subscribers.
- Worth weighing: the free plan stops at 100 events a day and the licence is SSPL rather than OSI open source.

Writing it yourself
Still a legitimate answer when delivery is your product, or when volume is small and consumers are few. What accumulates afterwards is the reason this category exists: per-destination limits, breakers, rotation, replay, and answering "did you send it?" for support. The homegrown page is honest about both directions.
