CatchHook vs. Hookdeck
Hookdeck is a production event gateway; CatchHook is a provider-aware webhook debugging and verification workspace.
Hookdeck is designed to receive, route, queue, transform, retry, and observe webhook events as production infrastructure. It also provides a local CLI, a request console, MCP resources, and operational issue management. CatchHook focuses on the development loop around a captured delivery: provider context, signature debugging, editable replay, request comparison, Replay Cases, bounded Actions, email ingress, and a no-account live endpoint.

Feature Comparison
| Feature | CatchHook | Hookdeck | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Request and event inspection | Both retain inspectable ingress; Hookdeck models requests, events, and delivery attempts. | ||
| Routing, queueing, and retries | Hookdeck is purpose-built as an event gateway with per-destination delivery controls. | ||
| Event transformations and filters | Hookdeck transforms and filters before delivery. CatchHook Actions compose bounded post-capture steps and keep redacted traces. | ||
| Localhost relay | Both provide a CLI path for local webhook development. | ||
| MCP support | Both publish MCP tooling; their tool scopes follow their different gateway and debugging jobs. | ||
| Provider-aware signatures and replay guidance | CatchHook carries supported-provider event, signature, setup, and replay-risk context through inspection and replay. | ||
| Replay Cases with assertions | CatchHook saves versioned requests and deterministic assertions as rerunnable regression cases. | ||
| Production throughput SLAs | Hookdeck Growth and Enterprise publish uptime and latency SLA options. |
Where CatchHook Stands Out
Choose Hookdeck for production event delivery
It owns queuing, routing, throughput, retries, transformations, and operational safeguards between senders and destinations.
Choose CatchHook for provider-specific debugging
It concentrates the capture, signature, replay, comparison, local relay, and handler-verification loop in one workspace.
Turn a delivery into a repeatable test
CatchHook Replay Cases retain a request snapshot, deterministic assertions, and run evidence after the immediate incident is fixed.
