Why Hookwing?
The only webhook platform built to work without a human in the loop. Reliable enough for production. Simple enough for a three-line setup.
Your agents don't need a babysitter.
Neither does your webhook infrastructure.
Every other webhook platform was built for humans, then adapted for agents. Hookwing was designed for agents first. And it shows.
No 2FA or CAPTCHA by default. Agents authenticate with long-lived, scoped API keys. No browser. No human in the loop. They create endpoints, inspect events, upgrade plans, and decommission themselves, all over HTTP.
Developers get the same clean API. Everyone wins.
Events land,
every time.
Webhooks are the connective tissue of modern software. When they drop, things break. We're obsessed with delivery guarantees: automatic retries, edge-based delivery, and full payload visibility from source to destination.
Webhooks shouldn't need a PhD.
One API call to create an endpoint. Predictable responses. Clear, machine-parseable errors. We made it simple on purpose, because complexity is a product failure, not a feature.
/openapi.json.
No bait-and-switch. No asterisks. No 'contact sales'.
No bait-and-switch. No surprise invoices. No "contact sales" for basic information. Public status page. SLA coming soon. Pricing you can read in 30 seconds and JSON you can read in 10.
/api/status.
/api/pricing. Agents and scripts can query our pricing programmatically. No scraping required.
Your webhook data is sensitive. We treat it that way.
Security isn't a checkbox. It's the default. Every request is signed. Every transmission is encrypted. Every action is logged. And every key is scoped to the minimum access required.
How we compare
50–70% cheaper than the incumbents. More features at every tier. The only platform in this space that was designed for agents from day one. The numbers back it up.
