Comparison
ShellOrbit compared
Seven products people evaluate alongside ShellOrbit, each with its own page. Every page marks a winner on every row, and on plenty of rows the winner is not us.
Two things worth knowing before you read any of them. First, some of these tools solve a different problem: Svix and Hook0 are mainly for sending webhooks to your own customers, while ShellOrbit receives the ones other people send you. If sending is your problem, those pages will tell you to go and use them.
Second, ShellOrbit is new and small. Where a competitor has been running for years, has a compliance report, or is simply cheaper at your volume, the page says so rather than burying it.
ShellOrbit vs Convoy
Open source, both directions, free forever if you run it yourself. The question is whether you want to operate Postgres, Redis and a worker fleet.
ShellOrbit vs EventDock
The closest like for like product. Same job, same size of company. We are far cheaper per event; they have more named provider integrations.
ShellOrbit vs Hook Relay
Genuinely cheaper per event than us, with a longer retry window. We win on the free tier, on monthly rather than daily limits, and on published commitments.
ShellOrbit vs Hook0
Source available under SSPL, European, and built for sending webhooks to your users. Far more volume per euro than us, on a much smaller free tier.
ShellOrbit vs Hookdeck
The most mature product in this category. Cheaper than us at high volume, broader in scope, and audited. We win on retention and on the first 150,000 events.
ShellOrbit vs Svix
Mostly a different product. Svix sends webhooks to your users; we receive the ones sent to you. Their free tier is bigger, their first paid plan is $490.
ShellOrbit vs Webhook Relay
Longer established, does tunnels into private networks, has a SOC 2 report. Cheaper entry price than us, but for a fraction of the events.
