| Webhook Payload Inspector | Hooksense | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Beta free | $29/mo (as listed on their pricing page, checked 2026-11-12) |
| Capture Inbox with forwarding target, signature verification and replay template | Public, unique capture endpoints that collect inbound requests, manage retention and parsing settings. Fields: description, public url, provider type, retention (days). Open one to see and add its forwarding target, signature verification, replay template. | See Hooksense |
| Capture URLs | Create unique public endpoints; every request is stored with method, headers, source IP and the exact raw body. | See Hooksense |
| Inspect payloads | Browse captured requests, read headers (credentials masked) and pretty-printed JSON. | See Hooksense |
| Byte-exact replay | Re-send a request to a public URL with the original bytes and headers. Providers that sign a timestamp still enforce their window (Stripe: 5 minutes), so replay soon after capture or relax tolerance in test. | See Hooksense |
| Edit before replay | Change a payload deliberately and see the response status, body and latency. | See Hooksense |
| Test payload simulator | Fire a realistic sample event without exposing anything to the internet. | See Hooksense |
| Guardrails | Per-endpoint rate limits, size limits, retention windows and private-network blocking. | See Hooksense |
| Hosted, not local | Replays reach public staging or production URLs. To hit localhost, expose it with a tunnel (e.g. ngrok or Cloudflare Tunnel). | See Hooksense |
| CSV / Excel export | Download any of your tables as a CSV that opens cleanly in Excel or Google Sheets. | See Hooksense |
| PDF reports | Export a list, or one record with all of its child records and history, as a PDF report for audits, clients or your files. | See Hooksense |
