Replacements

Listings that take over the same core job as Beeceptor.

  • Webhook.site

    A web service that gives you a unique URL and email address to inspect incoming requests.

    Webhook.site captures HTTP requests, emails and DNS lookups on a unique URL and adds workflows, but it does not import API definitions for mocking.

  • Mockbin

    A free web tool that creates mock API endpoints with fixed responses and logs requests to them.

    FreeOpen sourceWeb

    Mockbin is free and open source with no account, generating mocks from OpenAPI 3.x, but it returns fixed responses rather than dynamic ones built from request data.

  • Request Catcher

    A web tool that gives you a subdomain and shows every HTTP request sent to it live.

    FreeProprietaryWeb

    Request Catcher is free and shows requests to a chosen subdomain live, but it only records requests and cannot return mock responses.

  • WebHook Tester

    A self-hosted tool for testing and debugging webhooks and HTTP requests on randomly generated URLs.

    FreeProprietaryLinuxSelf-hosted

    WebHook Tester runs on your own server so payloads stay in-house, with customisable response codes, but you host it yourself and captured requests are not stored long term.

  • Hookdeck Console

    A free web tool for receiving, inspecting, replaying and saving webhook and HTTP request events.

    FreeProprietaryWeb

    Hookdeck Console is a free hosted tool that adds replay and saving of received events, but it offers no mock API server or definition imports.

  • TypedWebhook.tools

    A webhook testing tool that logs requests and generates TypeScript types and schemas from payloads.

    FreeProprietaryWeb

    TypedWebhook.tools is free and generates TypeScript types and schemas from received payloads, but it focuses on inspection and offers no mock responses.

  • Mockoon

    A desktop app and CLI for designing and running mock REST APIs locally without an account.

    FreemiumOpen sourceWindowsmacOSLinuxCommand line

    Mockoon runs mock REST APIs locally as an open-source desktop app and CLI with no account, but hosted deployments need its paid cloud service.
