Hookdeck is a webhook and event gateway built by Alexandre Bouchard and Maurice Kherlakian. Compare its Developer, Team, Growth and Enterprise pricing.
Hookdeck was founded in 2020 by Alexandre Bouchard and Maurice Kherlakian in Montreal, Canada, after the pair grew tired of losing critical webhook events from providers like Stripe, Shopify and Intercom due to timeouts, downtime or bugs in their own receiving endpoints. Rather than continuing to hand-roll retry logic and logging for every integration, they built Hookdeck as dedicated infrastructure that sits in front of any application and guarantees webhooks are queued, retried and delivered reliably.
The company has raised roughly 5.5 million dollars, including a 2.4 million dollar seed round backed by Matrix Partners in 2022, and operates as a lean team of under 10 people out of Montreal. It positions itself as an 'event gateway' rather than a narrow webhook tool, covering both receiving inbound events and sending reliable outbound webhooks to customers.
Incoming webhooks are ingested into a durable queue with automatic retries and configurable backoff, so a slow or temporarily down destination does not result in lost events. Developers get detailed request and response logs for every event, transformation and filtering rules to reshape payloads before delivery, and fan-out delivery to route one event to multiple destinations.
For local development, a CLI forwards live webhooks to localhost for easier debugging, and for teams that need to send their own reliable webhooks to customers, Hookdeck offers outbound delivery infrastructure comparable to what large platforms like Stripe build in-house. Enterprise features include SOC 2 compliance, SSO/SAML/SCIM and metrics export to tools like Datadog.
Hookdeck's Developer plan is always free and includes 10,000 events per month with 3-day retention, enough for testing and small projects. The Team plan starts at 39 dollars per month with unlimited users and metered overages beyond the included events.
The Growth plan starts at 499 dollars per month and adds uptime and latency SLAs, SSO/SAML/SCIM and 30-day retention, while Enterprise is fully custom-priced with dedicated support and negotiated SLAs. Additional event volume beyond each plan's quota is billed on a declining per-100,000-events scale, so cost per event drops significantly at higher volumes.
Yes, the Developer plan is always free and includes 10,000 events per month, 1 user and 3-day retention.

An event gateway like Hookdeck sits between event sources such as Stripe or Shopify and your application, queueing, retrying and logging every webhook so events are not lost even if your endpoint is briefly down.
Yes, Hookdeck provides a CLI that forwards live webhooks to localhost, making it easier to debug integrations during development.
Common alternatives include Svix for webhooks-as-a-service, AWS EventBridge for general event infrastructure, and lighter tools like ngrok or Webhook.site for local testing only.
