Hookdeck CLI: a Free Ngrok Alternative for Async Web Dev | HackerNoon
Briefly

ngrok has dramatically altered its approach, shifting from being a developer-focused tool that allowed easy sharing of local web apps to a multifaceted service emphasizing API gateways and security.
The introduction of a mandatory account requirement and a data transfer cap, alongside reduced features for paid subscriptions, reveals ngrok's transition from developer-centric solutions to a broader service model.
With the focus shifting from supporting simple development tasks like sharing a local website or debugging web services to an all-in-one service model, it's time to seek alternatives to ngrok.
This change in ngrok's priorities suggests that developers who rely on webhooks or need to demonstrate apps may find superior functionality in tools specifically designed for their use case.
