Understanding Pabbly Hook vs Pabbly Connect

[JoshBeall]

Hi,

I'm a Pabbly Connect customer, and exploring the other Pabbly products that are available.

I'm not quite understanding what the distinction between Pabbly Connect (which supports webhooks) and Pabbly Hook is. Is there something Pabbly Hook does that Pabbly Connect does not? Or is Pabbly Hook just a "webhooks only" version of Pabbly Connect?

Hello @JoshBeall,

Pabbly Connect uses webhooks as triggers to start automations, whereas Pabbly Hook is a dedicated webhook management platform. Pabbly Hook provides advanced features like rate limiting, retries, filtering, transformation, and detailed logging before forwarding data — which Pabbly Connect does not.

So, Pabbly Hook is not a “webhooks-only” version of Pabbly Connect, but rather a specialized tool for managing webhooks at scale, while Pabbly Connect focuses on building automation workflows.
