A: Hello Gareth,

I wouldn’t say it’s similar to Ngrok because their operating principles are different. Ngrok is a tunneling application that exposes your local development environment to the internet. In Webhook Simulator, however, it works the other way around; your local development environment isn’t exposed to the outside world, which keeps things more secure.

Additionally, Webhook Simulator offers the feature to simulate webhook events, which, as far as I know, Ngrok doesn’t have. You can choose any provider and simulate one of its webhook events, then forward the payload to your local development environment (or, using the CLI, to a staging or other development environment).
