Where Webhook Relay Shines
Credit where it's due — Webhook Relay has real strengths in specific areas.
Kubernetes-native deployment
Dedicated operator and CRDs for managing webhook forwarding directly from your cluster.
IoT & home automation
Integrations with Home Assistant and IoT devices for forwarding webhooks to local networks.
Static outgoing IPs
Fixed egress IP addresses for environments that require IP whitelisting.
Data warehouse ingestion
Direct webhook ingestion into Snowflake and BigQuery without intermediate processing.
We're actively working on closing these gaps. But if your primary need is one of these, Webhook Relay may be the better fit today.
Where Hookbase Wins
Outbound Webhooks
Send events to your customers with a full event type system, subscriptions, and a customer-facing portal. Webhook Relay only handles inbound forwarding.
Transform Power
4 engines (JSONata, JavaScript, XSLT, Liquid), a visual builder, and a template library. Webhook Relay offers Lua scripting and experimental WASI.
Security & Compliance
SSO/SAML, audit logs, field-level encryption, IP filtering, and automatic signature verification for 10+ providers out of the box.
Developer Experience
AI assistant for natural language queries, real-time SSE dashboard, official Python SDK, and a CLI with a terminal UI.
Two Platforms in One
Receive & Route Webhooks
Receive webhooks from any provider, verify signatures, apply transforms, and route to multiple destinations with retries and circuit breakers.
