Svix Alternatives for Sending and Receiving Webhooks

Svix alternatives split by the job you use Svix for. If you send webhooks to your customers with Svix Dispatch, the closest alternatives are Hookdeck Outpost (Apache 2.0, managed from $10 per million events), Convoy (cloud from $99 a month or self-hosted), Hook0 (French-hosted, from €59 a month) and newer EU services such as HookGet and wehook.io. If you receive webhooks with Svix Ingest, look at Webhooker (EU-only, from €29 a month with a DPA), Convoy, or Hookdeck Event Gateway if US hosting is acceptable. Most teams start looking because of the step from Svix’s free tier to Professional at $490 a month.

We build Webhooker, which competes with Svix Ingest on the receiving side, so read that part as a vendor’s view. Every fact about another product links to its own pricing page, documentation, DPA or license file, checked on 14 September 2026.

What does Svix do, and what is it good at?

Svix sells one platform with several products, all included on every plan according to its pricing page. Dispatch sends webhooks to your customers with endpoint management, retries, a customer-facing portal and signing. Ingest receives webhooks from providers such as Stripe. Stream shares event data with customers, and Play is a free webhook debugger.

It is a strong product. The server behind Dispatch is MIT licensed, although the README notes that some hosted features are not in the open-source repository. Svix’s security page cites an annual SOC 2 Type II audit and HIPAA and PCI-DSS attestations, and data can live in isolated regions in the US, the European Union, Australia or Canada. Billing is fair to fan-out and failure: only attempted or transformed messages count, retries are free, and each 64 KiB of payload counts as one message.

If Svix covers your needs at a price you are comfortable with, keep it. Switching a sending platform means asking every customer to accept a new signing scheme or portal, which is far harder than moving a receiving gateway.

Why do teams look for a Svix alternative?

The most common reason is the shape of the pricing. On Svix’s pricing page, Free includes 50,000 messages a month with up to 30 days of retention. Professional starts at $490 a month and includes the same 50,000 messages, then $0.0001 per message. What the $490 buys is everything around the messages: 90-day retention, a higher rate limit (800 instead of 200 messages per second), a 99.99% SLA, the SOC 2 report, static source IPs, an unbranded portal, and the EEA data processing agreement.

That last item decides it for many EU companies. A DPA is how you document a processor under GDPR, and on Svix it starts at $490 a month. A team that sends 100,000 webhooks a month and needs a DPA pays for Professional, while a team with the same volume and no DPA requirement stays on Free.

Two other reasons come up. Some teams want a vendor that is EU-only by design, where Svix offers the EU as one region among several. And teams that only receive webhooks sometimes find a platform built around sending is more than they need. Svix’s own Dispatch alternatives page lists lower cost at small volume, self-hosting and EU-only residency as the usual reasons.

Which Svix alternatives send webhooks?

These replace Svix Dispatch: your product publishes events, and the service delivers them to your customers’ endpoints.

Table: Svix Dispatch alternatives compared on hosting, license, free tier, entry price and DPA, checked 14 September 2026.

Hookdeck Outpost is the closest like-for-like option with an open-source core. It is Apache 2.0 licensed, so you can self-host it for free, and the managed Starter plan charges $10 per million delivered events after the first 50,000, with retries not charged. The catch for EU buyers is that Starter runs in the US, and the managed EU region starts on Growth at $499 a month plus usage.

Convoy sends and receives through one gateway with flat pricing and no per-message metering. Cloud plans start at $99 a month, the Community edition is free to self-host, and self-hosted Premium costs $999 a month. Its DPA states that it runs separate EU and US environments and processes EU personal data in the EU. The source is on GitHub under the Elastic License 2.0, which forbids offering it to others as a hosted service.

Hook0 is hosted in France on Clever Cloud and licensed under SSPL-1.0. The free tier covers 100 events a day and blocks extra events, Startup costs €59 a month for 30,000 events a day, and subscriptions and retries are free. Paid plans are never blocked on overage.

HookGet runs in Germany and bills per delivery: 10,000 a month free, $199 for 2 million, $449 for 20 million. It is hosted only, and its compliance page says it has no SOC 2, HIPAA or PCI attestation today. Its privacy policy lists some sub-processors outside the EU, which we cover in the Hookdeck alternatives guide.

wehook.io keeps its database, workers and payload storage in France, signs a standard DPA at signup, and costs €19 a month for 50,000 messages. It is in beta behind a request form. Hook Mesh starts at $39 a month for 50,000 messages with a 5,000-message free tier, but does not publish its hosting location. Ploq runs on OVHcloud in France and publishes a DPA listing its EU sub-processors, with prices not on the public site.

Which Svix alternatives receive webhooks?

These replace Svix Ingest: a provider such as Stripe, GitHub or Shopify sends webhooks, and the service verifies, stores and delivers them to your own services.

Webhooker only receives. Each source gets an ingest URL that verifies Stripe, GitHub or Shopify signatures, or a generic HMAC, Basic Auth or API key, before accepting the request. Events are stored on servers in Germany, filtered and transformed per destination, retried with a circuit breaker, and parked in a dead-letter queue with bulk replay. A CLI forwards events to localhost during development. One inbound event is one billable event however many destinations it reaches. Pricing is €29 a month for 100,000 events with 30-day retention and a DPA, or €99 for 1 million with 90 days. What it lacks next to Svix Ingest: fewer named provider presets (Svix’s OpenAPI spec lists 42 named providers), no published SOC 2 report, and no sending product.

Hookdeck Event Gateway has the most mature receiving feature set, with up to 50 automatic retries, filters and JavaScript transformations. Hookdeck states that Event Gateway is hosted in the US only. Team starts at $39 a month with 7-day retention, and 30 days needs Growth at $499. We compare it with Webhooker in Webhooker vs Hookdeck.

Convoy is the option if you want one gateway for both directions without Svix’s price step. EventDock buffers and retries inbound webhooks on Cloudflare’s network, with primary operations in Canada according to its privacy policy, and starts at $149 a month. Webhook Relay persists and retries webhooks and forwards them into private networks, from $8.99 a month.

Can you self-host a Svix alternative?

Yes, and Svix is one of the options. Open-source servers for webhooks:

• Svix under the MIT license, for sending, without some hosted-only features.
• Hookdeck Outpost under Apache 2.0, for sending.
• Convoy under the Elastic License 2.0, for sending and receiving, with a free Community edition and a paid Premium licence.
• Hook0 under SSPL-1.0, for sending, plus a managed self-hosting option at €1,000 setup and €500 a month.

MIT and Apache 2.0 let you do almost anything, including building a commercial product on top. The Elastic License and SSPL both restrict offering the software to others as a service, so read them before you embed one in a product you sell. Standard Webhooks is a signing specification with libraries, not a server, though most of these products follow it.

Self-hosting trades the subscription for operations work: upgrades, queues, retries under load, the customer portal and on-call. We break down that cost in build vs buy webhook infrastructure.

How do you choose a Svix alternative?

Table: which Svix alternative fits which situation.

Check the compliance row early. Several of the smaller EU services are new and say plainly that they have no SOC 2 report yet, which may end the conversation for an enterprise customer before price comes up.
