Hookpeek vs RequestBin: a fair comparison
RequestBin (now part of Pipedream) is a classic webhook bin. Hookpeek adds replay-with-edits and persistent endpoints with longer retention.
- · RequestBin pioneered the 'paste-a-URL, watch-payloads' UX. It's been folded into Pipedream and remains a free option.
- · Hookpeek goes further: replay any captured request with edits, persistent named endpoints, and longer history.
- · If you only need a one-off bin, RequestBin still works. If you debug webhooks recurringly, Hookpeek's workbench saves time.

When you should pick which
- · You're already in the Pipedream ecosystem and want webhook capture as part of a broader workflow.
- · You want to chain webhook capture into automation steps (post to Slack, write to DB) inside one platform.
- · You don't need replay-with-edits — just receive and forward.
- · You want a focused webhook debugger, not a workflow platform.
- · You frequently replay yesterday's webhook with a tweak — payload edit, header change, retest.
- · Your team wants persistent named endpoints with long history without committing to a workflow tool.
Pricing math
RequestBin free via Pipedream. Pipedream paid plans start around $19/mo and include a lot more than just webhooks.
Hookpeek free for basic usage. Paid ~$9/mo for persistent endpoints, replay, longer history.
The math: For pure webhook debugging, Hookpeek paid is cheaper than Pipedream's paid tier. If you'll use the workflow engine, Pipedream's price covers more ground.

Persistent endpoints, replay with edits, no workflow engine to learn. Webhook debugging, focused.
FAQ
Will my RequestBin URL forward to Hookpeek?
URLs are host-scoped. You'll create a new one in Hookpeek. Migration is paste-the-new-URL into your sender.
Can Hookpeek do what Pipedream's workflows do?
Not the workflow part. Hookpeek is webhook debugging only. We offer outbound webhooks (forward incoming → your endpoint) but not visual workflow building.
How do I export captured webhooks?
Each captured request can be downloaded as JSON. Bulk export to CSV is on the paid plan.
Does Hookpeek work with Stripe webhook signature verification?
Yes. We forward the raw body and signature header so your verification code runs intact.
