VERDICT

Should I use Webhook Relay?

Webhook Relay is a simple, flexible and high performance webhook routing system for internal and public destinations. Transform, route and retry webhooks. - webhookrelay.com

Depends. Buy if your dev team needs durable webhook routing, transformation, retries, or tunnels without running your own infrastructure. Skip it if you are a SaaS sending customer-facing webhooks (Svix fits better) or a non-technical user (n8n is easier).
