Webhook-native workflow automation. Free.
30+ nodes. HMAC verify, dedup, and replay built in. AI Classify included. A hosted Zapier and n8n alternative — no Docker, no task quotas, no signup to try.
Generous free tier today — paid plans coming later. No task limits during beta.
Why teams pick Requex over Zapier or n8n
Four reasons developers move workflows here.
Webhook-native
HMAC verify, dedup, and replay nodes ship in every workflow. Zapier and Make do not have these. n8n requires you to wire them yourself.
AI nodes included
AI Classify and AI Text generation are included in the free tier. No separate OpenAI billing, no API key juggling.
No signup to try
Generate a webhook URL anonymously, build a workflow, run it. Sign up only when you want to save and access run history.
Dev-grade reliability
HTTP Resilient (retry with backoff), Try/Catch, Rate Limit, Iterator. Every run produces an inspectable execution trace with timing per node.
30+ nodes, ready to wire
Drag a node onto the canvas, connect it, run it. Same canvas-style builder as n8n, hosted for you.

| AI nodes included | AI Classify + AI Text free | Paid add-on or BYO key |
| Webhook HMAC verify | First-class node | Code step only |

| Self-hosting required | No — we host | Sometimes |
| Signup to try | Not required | Required |
| Run trace per node | Included | Varies |
All templates
Each template includes HMAC verification, retry handling, and an inspectable run trace.
Stripe Webhook → Slack Alert
A pre-built workflow that turns Stripe events (payments, refunds, disputes) into Slack alerts your team can act on. HMAC verification, retry, and rate-limit nodes are built in.
Shopify Orders → Google Sheets
Pre-built workflow that turns Shopify order events into a live Google Sheets row. HMAC verification, dedup, and a Sheets append node ship with the workflow.
GitHub Webhook → Discord
Pre-built workflow that turns GitHub webhook events into Discord channel messages. Includes signature verification, event filtering, and a Discord node.
Webhook → AI Classify → Email Routing
Pre-built workflow that uses an AI node to categorize inbound webhook payloads and routes each category to the right email recipient.
Common questions
If your question is not here, open one — the form takes 30 seconds.
Is workflow automation really free on Requex.me?▾
Yes. The workflow builder, all 30+ nodes including AI Classify and AI Text, and unlimited test runs are free during the beta. Paid plans will come later — beta users keep a generous free tier.
How is this different from Zapier?▾
Zapier charges per task and rate-limits aggressively. Requex has no task limits during beta, ships webhook-native nodes (HMAC verify, dedup, replay) that Zapier does not have, and includes AI nodes without a separate API key.
How is this different from n8n?▾
n8n is powerful but you have to self-host it (Docker, Postgres, upgrades) or pay for n8n cloud. Requex is hosted — open the URL and build a workflow. Same canvas-style builder, zero ops work.
Do I need to sign up to try it?▾
No. You can create an anonymous webhook URL and start building a workflow immediately. Signing up is only needed to save a workflow permanently and access run history.
Can I verify webhook signatures (HMAC, Stripe, GitHub, Shopify)?▾
Yes — the Webhook Verify node handles HMAC-SHA256 with timing-safe comparison, base64 and hex encodings, and prefix-aware signature parsing. Same primitives Stripe and GitHub document.
What happens if a step in my workflow fails?▾
The Try/Catch node lets you handle failures explicitly. HTTP Resilient retries with exponential backoff. Every workflow run produces an inspectable execution trace with timing per node.
Start building. No signup. No credit card.
Open the canvas, drag nodes, wire them up. Workflows save automatically once you sign in.
