Hookdeck

What it is for

Hookdeck is a hosted webhook-event gateway: you open an Event, and Developer is $0/month (10,000 events, 3-day retention, 1 user, no card). Use it when the job is inbound webhooks you start at $0, not when you need a $20 chat seat.

What makes it unique: the cover is the official Hookdeck Events desk (inbound-webhook attempt 200, order_created JSON body, Last 3 days retention, Retry) from the receive-webhooks still — not a pricing card. The attempt table itself is ops of Events. Hookdeck bills delivered events, not seats on Team+.

Key features

• Sources — an inbound HTTP endpoint that accepts a provider webhook (docs; pricing Connections). One ingress. A request that creates no event (filter / disabled) is a discarded request, not this card.
• Destinations — the API you deliver to (pricing Destinations; cover destination pane). An egress, not a source. Delivery Groups (per-tenant rates) sit here — they are not a sixth desk.
• Connections — the route from a Source to a Destination, with filters and Transformations (pricing Connections / Transformations). A route, not an event. Unlimited connections and transformations print on every card. Filters that drop a request are options of this.
• Events — a delivered message plus its attempts (Events still; pricing Events). One delivery. Cover status 200, latency, Retry, and the JSON body are ops of this. Each plan includes 10,000 events/month; retries are included in the event price.
• Issues — a failure / backpressure queue with alerts (pricing Issues Management). A problem, not an event. Slack / Discord / Teams / PagerDuty / Sentry integrations print on Team+.

The CLI and request log are ops of Sources / Events. Metrics export (Datadog / New Relic / Prometheus) prints on Growth. Outpost (outbound webhook sending, Apache-2.0 self-host) is a sibling product with its own $ ladder — do not fold it into Event Gateway.

Who it's for

Best fit: backend teams who will stay on Developer at $0 (10k events, 3-day retention, 1 user) while they open a first Events desk, then buy Team at $39/month when they need unlimited users, 7-day retention, and issue integrations.

Pricing

Verified 2026-10-23 (Asia/Shanghai) from hookdeck.com/pricing (Event Gateway). Tiles print Always $0 / Starts at $39 / Starts at $499 / Custom.

• Developer — $0/month. No card. 10,000 events/month. 3-day retention. 1 user. SOC 2. Unlimited connections and transformations.
• Team — starts at $39/month. 10,000 events included, then pay-as-you-go. 7-day retention. Unlimited users. Issue integrations (Slack, Discord, Teams, PagerDuty, Better Stack Uptime, incident.io, Sentry).
• Growth — starts at $499/month. 30-day retention. Uptime & latency SLAs. Metrics export. Read-only role. SSO / SAML / SCIM. HIPAA. Startup discount is contact — do not invent a Growth dollar below $499.
• Enterprise — Custom. Premium support, Slack Connect, custom compliance / SLAs / contracts. Do not invent an Enterprise dollar.
• Additional events — metered after the included 10,000. The page prints a volume ladder ($3.00 per 100k up to 5M events, stepping down to as low as $0.33 per 100k) and a calculator default of $1.00 per additional 100k. Discarded requests over 100,000 are +$2.50 per million. Throughput starts at 5 events/second per destination.
• Static IP add-on — +$100 on the page.

Confirm checkout; taxes follow your location. A 14-day trial lets you invite teammates; Developer usage limits still apply.

Limitations / costs

• Free is 1 user and 3-day retention. A second seat is Team.
• The meter is delivered events, not inbound requests. One request can create 0, 1, or many events.
• Outpost is a different $ page (/outpost/pricing). Do not quote $10/million Outpost numbers as Event Gateway.
• A webhook gateway, not a notification composer. For Knock’s per-channel send see Knock. For Svix outbound see Svix.

Alternatives

• Svix — outbound webhook sending when you are the provider, not the subscriber sitting on Hookdeck Events.
• Knock — notification orchestration when the job is in-app / email / push, not inbound webhook retries.
• Pipedream — workflow automation when you want to run code on the webhook, not only queue and deliver it.
