Svix and WebhookVault solve different problems. Svix helps you send webhooks from your app to your customers. WebhookVault helps you receive and debug webhooks from other services.
Svix is a webhook sending platform that helps SaaS companies deliver webhooks to their customers reliably. It provides a hosted service and open-source library for managing webhook endpoints, retries, and delivery. Svix is often confused with webhook debugging tools, but it's actually on the opposite side — it's for webhook producers, not consumers.
