Webhook.site is popular, but its free tier caps at 500 requests and offers no API, no replay, and no team features. WebhookVault gives you a developer-first REST API with unlimited history.
Webhook.site is a well-known free tool for quickly generating a temporary URL to receive and inspect HTTP requests. It has been around since 2016 and is many developers' first introduction to webhook debugging. The free tier provides a temporary URL with up to 500 recent requests, a web-based inspector, and basic request details.
