Our verdict on Relae
Relae is a hosted webhook relay for teams that need a control layer between webhook providers and application endpoints. It receives and validates events, stores payloads and metadata, forwards deliveries, and retries failures with exponential backoff. Its searchable dashboard supports payload, header, timestamp, and status inspection, while the dead-letter queue provides manual and bulk retry options. Relae is suited to engineering and operations teams managing event delivery from services such as Stripe, Shopify, GitHub, GitLab, Slack, and SendGrid.
Pricing is structured around event volume and retention. Builder costs $0 per month and includes 10,000 events per month with 7-day retention, but no analytics. Launch costs $35 per month and raises capacity to 100,000 events per month with 14-day retention and priority support; analytics remain unavailable. Scale costs $65 per month and includes 500,000 events per month, 30-day retention, analytics, and priority support. Enterprise includes unlimited events, custom retention, analytics, and 24/7 support. This makes Builder a practical entry point for basic relay and recovery needs, while Scale is the first listed tier with analytics.
Operational coverage is Relae’s strongest fit. Teams can inspect searchable event records, recover failed deliveries from a dead-letter queue, verify incoming vendor signatures, sign outgoing webhooks with HMAC-SHA256, and add custom headers to forwarded requests. Analytics cover success rates, response times, volumes, and failures on eligible plans. Relae is a good choice for teams that want hosted webhook observability and failure recovery without managing infrastructure. Teams requiring self-hosted deployment, verified routing rules, or analytics on lower-cost plans should consider alternatives.
