RequestBin was the original webhook inspection tool, but it's now part of Pipedream with limited standalone functionality. WebhookVault is the modern, API-first alternative.
RequestBin (originally by Runscope, now owned by Pipedream) was one of the first tools for inspecting HTTP requests and webhooks. The original standalone version has been deprecated, and RequestBin now lives inside the Pipedream platform as a workflow trigger. It still provides basic request inspection but is primarily a gateway into Pipedream's workflow automation.
A detailed, side-by-side look at how WebhookVault and RequestBin compare across the features that matter most for webhook debugging.
| Feature | WebhookVault | RequestBin |

| Account Required | API key signup | Pipedream account required |
| REST API | Full REST API | No dedicated request retrieval API |
| Webhook Replay | Replay to any URL | Not available |
| Primary Focus | Webhook debugging & testing | Workflow automation (with capture as trigger) |
| Request History | Persistent, searchable history | Limited retention in Pipedream |
| Payload Inspection | Structured JSON viewer with search | Basic request display |
| Team Features | Shared endpoints and API keys | Pipedream team plans (for automation) |
| Pricing | Free tier + $9/mo Pro | Pipedream free tier + $29/mo |

We believe in honest comparisons. Here's when each tool is the better fit.
RequestBin (via Pipedream) is a reasonable choice if you already use Pipedream for workflow automation and want to trigger workflows from incoming webhooks.
WebhookVault is the better choice if you want a dedicated, standalone webhook debugging tool with a REST API, replay, and persistent history — essentially what RequestBin used to be, but better.
