VERDICT

Should I use Convoy?

Enterprise webhook gateway for secure, scalable, and reliable event delivery. Manage incoming and outgoing webhooks with retries, signatures, rate limiting, and observability. - getconvoy.io

Depends. Buy if webhook delivery to many external customers is core to your product and you want managed retries, signing, and observability. If you send a few internal webhooks, skip it — plain code or a lighter gateway is simpler, and public evidence on Convoy is thin.

Confidence

Low. Based on ~14 public sources; most 'Convoy' results are unrelated products (1978 film, flashlights, trucking startup), so product-specific evidence is thin.

Best for

  • API platforms delivering webhooks to many customers
  • Dev-tool teams needing signed, retried delivery
  • Teams wanting self-hosted event infrastructure
  • Platform teams replacing homegrown webhook code

Not for

  • Small apps sending a handful of webhooks — plain code suffices
  • Teams without engineers to operate infrastructure
  • Buyers who only need internal task queues, not webhook delivery
  • Anyone wanting widely-reviewed, proven tooling — no independent reviews found

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Guess: usage-based webhook pricing can climb fast with high event volumes and retries.

medium

Self-hosting moves patching, scaling, and uptime burden onto your team.

low

Security research is noisy: an unrelated 'Convoy Panel' KVM tool has its own critical CVEs.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Open-source, cloud-native webhook gateway; self-host or use cloud.
  • Handles incoming and outgoing webhooks with retries and signatures.
  • Free tier to start; cloud and self-hosted plans offered.

Cons

  • No independent user reviews found; only vendor and comparison pages.

  • Name collisions with a film, flashlights, and a failed trucking startup.
  • Pricing page exists but public sources show no concrete prices.

What users say

No user reviews of the Convoy webhook gateway surfaced in the sources reviewed; 'Convoy' reviews online cover a 1978 film, flashlights, and a trucking app.

Full analysis

Based on ~14 public sources; most 'Convoy' results are unrelated products (1978 film, flashlights, trucking startup), so product-specific evidence is thin.

Open-source webhook gateway for API platforms sending webhooks at scale; overkill for a few events. Evidence thin.

Methodology

Based on ~14 public sources; most 'Convoy' results are unrelated products (1978 film, flashlights, trucking startup), so product-specific evidence is thin.
