VERDICT

Should I use Hookdeck?

From webhooks to external event streams, Hookdeck ensures every event is received, processed, and monitored reliably at scale, giving you complete visibility and control. - hookdeck.com

Depends. Buy if your product runs on many inbound or outbound webhooks — it scores 4.8/5 across 71 G2 reviews and the free tier is generous. Skip it if you receive only occasional webhooks or have no developers; your backend's retry logic or a free tool covers that.
