Why Developers Switch from ngrok to Hookbase

More Than Just Tunnels

ngrok exposes your localhost. Hookbase does that AND gives you webhook relay, automatic retries, transforms, and monitoring.

Never Miss a Webhook

When your local server is down, Hookbase queues webhooks and retries them. ngrok just drops the request.

Better Value

Get localhost tunnels plus enterprise webhook features for the same price as ngrok's basic tunnel plan.
