Unified Webhook Development Platform with Replay and Local Tunneling Built In

dev tool real project •• multiple requests

Webhook development is still a frustrating cycle of opaque errors, silent delivery failures, and painful local debugging. Existing tools split between sending-side infrastructure and receiving-side debugging, but developers need a single platform that handles inspection, replay, local tunneling, and reliability monitoring across providers.

builder note

Hooklistener is onto something with IDE integration but the market needs a CLI-first tool that combines ngrok tunneling + request inspection + one-click replay + error classification in a single 'webhook dev' command. Think of it as Postman for webhooks, not infrastructure.

landscape (4 existing solutions)

The webhook tooling market is split between production infrastructure (Hookdeck, Svix) and basic tunneling (ngrok). Nobody owns the developer experience of 'I'm building a webhook handler and need to see what's actually hitting my endpoint, replay failed events, and debug locally' as an integrated workflow.

Hookdeck Strong on receiving-side infrastructure ($39/mo) but oriented toward production reliability, not developer debugging workflow. Not an IDE-integrated dev tool.
Svix Sending-side infrastructure at $490/mo for Pro. Helps API providers send webhooks but doesn't help developers debug incoming webhooks during development.
Hooklistener New IDE-focused debugger with a free tier. Closest to the developer experience gap but limited to 1 endpoint on free plan and lacks replay or provider-side visibility.
ngrok / Cloudflare Tunnels Solves local tunneling only. No inspection, replay, or error categorization. Just a pipe.
