## The Hook

The Stripe CLI is how webhook development stops being a ngrok folklore.

## What's Good

Apache-2.0. stripe listen forwards webhooks to localhost. Event trigger and resend, live request logs, and API object CRUD from the terminal. The binary is free. This is the official tool, not a third-party wrapper.

## The Catch

The CLI is free; card charges are not. See stripe.com/pricing for processing rates. Live mode needs a real secret. Dispute fees are on Stripe, not on this binary.

## Verdict

Install it. Then still pay Stripe when money moves.
