Buyer questions
Is Volley free, and do I need an account?
The editor is free and needs no account. It runs in your browser with autosave, and share links carry the whole diagram in the URL fragment. Sign in with GitHub or Google for short links, README embeds, webhook inboxes and saved diagrams.
What is a payload in a Volley diagram?
A payload is the data an arrow carries. Put an in: block for what the sender sends and an out: block for what comes back. JSON, form bodies, query parameters, HTTP headers and plain text all work, and clicking the arrow shows every field.
Can I make a sequence diagram from a HAR file?
Yes. Export a HAR file from your browser's Network tab and drop it on the editor. Each host becomes a lane and each request an arrow with its body attached. Secrets are redacted before anything becomes part of the diagram.
Can Volley capture webhooks?
Yes. Create a webhook inbox, point Stripe, GitHub, Shopify or any provider at its address, and watch deliveries arrive. Pick the ones you want and Volley draws them as a diagram. Free includes 1 inbox and 25 requests a month; Pro includes 20 inboxes and 5,000.
How does billing work for Pro?
Pro is $9 a month or $90 a year, billed in advance through Stripe. Cancel any time from Account then Manage billing, and Pro stays active until the end of the paid period.
