Relae

What Relae is

Relae is a cloud service with web and API access for relaying vendor webhooks to an application. It monitors deliveries and retries failures up to five times with exponential backoff. Events that still fail move to a dead letter queue, where users can review, debug, and retry them manually. Each vendor has a unique endpoint that can be rotated independently. Relae verifies incoming signatures for Stripe, Shopify, GitHub, GitLab, Slack, and SendGrid; it can relay other providers’ webhooks without incoming signature verification. Forwarded webhooks are signed with HMAC-SHA256, and custom headers can carry authentication tokens or API keys.

The free Builder plan costs nothing and includes 10,000 events per month with seven-day retention and no analytics. Launch costs $35 a month for 100,000 events per month and 14-day retention. Scale costs $65 a month for 500,000 events per month, 30-day retention, and analytics. Enterprise offers unlimited events, custom retention, analytics, and 24/7 support at a custom price. Analytics track delivery rates, response times, and failure patterns, starting with Scale. Relae documents AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.2+ connections, and storage limited to the plan’s retention period. Its maximum webhook size is 5 MB and destination response timeout is 30 seconds.

Who it suits

Relae suits e-commerce and SaaS applications, development teams, and financial applications that need to relay and recover webhook deliveries. The free Builder plan may fit smaller event volumes, while Scale includes analytics for teams that need delivery and failure metrics.

Limits

Builder allows 10,000 events per month with seven-day retention and no analytics. Launch allows 100,000 events per month with 14-day retention and no analytics; Scale allows 500,000 events per month with 30-day retention and includes analytics.

Getting started

1. Open https://relaehook.com/ and choose a plan: Builder, Launch, Scale, or Enterprise.
2. Create a unique endpoint for each vendor.
3. Configure incoming signature verification for a supported vendor if needed.
4. Set the destination for forwarded webhooks and add any required custom headers.
5. Review delivery analytics on Scale or above, and inspect or retry failed events in the dead letter queue.

Verdict

Choose Relae if your application needs webhook retries, delivery recovery, and vendor signature handling. Builder offers a free starting plan, while Scale adds analytics and higher event volume. Look elsewhere if your webhook payloads exceed 5 MB or destinations need more than 30 seconds to respond.
