Looking for a Convoy Alternative?
Convoy is a powerful open-source webhook gateway — but you have to host and maintain it. Hookbase gives you the same capabilities fully managed on the global edge with zero infrastructure to maintain.
Why Teams Switch from Convoy to Hookbase
Zero Infrastructure
No PostgreSQL, Redis, or workers to manage. Hookbase is fully managed — just sign up and start receiving webhooks.
Global Edge Deployment
Hookbase runs on Cloudflare Workers across 300+ locations. Sub-50ms latency worldwide, automatic scaling, no cold starts.
Built-in Tunnels
Test webhooks locally with CLI tunnels. No need for ngrok or any other tool — it's included in the platform.

Where Convoy Shines
Credit where it's due — Convoy has real strengths in specific areas.
Open source
Convoy is fully open source under MPL-2.0. You can inspect the code, contribute, and run it on your own infrastructure.
Full infrastructure control
Self-hosting means complete control over data residency, networking, and scaling — important for regulated industries.
Advanced retry policies
Convoy offers highly configurable retry strategies with fine-grained control over backoff and attempt limits.
Granular rate limiting
Per-endpoint and per-project rate limiting with configurable windows and burst allowances.
If you need full infrastructure control or want open-source, Convoy may be the better fit.
Where Hookbase Wins
Zero Ops
No servers, databases, or workers to manage. Sign up and start receiving webhooks in minutes. We handle scaling, uptime, and upgrades.
Transform Power
4 transform engines (JSONata, JavaScript, XSLT, Liquid) with a visual builder and template library. Convoy has no transform support.
Security Built-in
SSO/SAML, audit logs, field-level encryption, and automatic provider signature verification for 10+ providers out of the box.
Developer Experience
AI assistant, CLI with terminal UI, localhost tunnels, real-time SSE dashboard, and 4 official SDKs (Go, Node, Python, .NET).
Skip the Infrastructure
Convoy: Self-Hosted
PostgreSQL, Redis, worker processes, load balancers, monitoring, backups, upgrades — all your responsibility.
