Make Inbound webhooks free

Webhooks are really easy to use and I think most of the people use them everyday. It doesn't involve particular third party integrations and they can be useful for everything, it would be great if they wouldn't be considered as premium actions.
Paying 0,01$ per inbound webhook call is too much, please make them free.

Web Hooks & Payment Fees: Is It Fair?

Hey everyone,
I wanted to bring up a topic that's been on my mind—Web Hooks and the fees associated with them.
As we know, GHL doesn't currently have native automation or direct connections with certain software, which is why many of us rely on webhooks to receive data or information from other platforms. But here's the thing—using webhooks to get this information comes with a cost.
This raises a question: If GHL doesn't offer native connections to some platforms, is it fair to charge us for using webhooks, one of the few ways we can receive data? Personally, I don't want to stir up controversy, but it feels like we shouldn't be charged just for receiving information through a link.
What do you all think? Am I overthinking this, or should receiving data via webhooks be free?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Best,

1 good workaround is to create 1 field dedicated like tags so workflows can trigger when contact is upserted / updated and field is exactly XYZ
But only on a contact level, can use test contacts to update things like custom values internally in GHL workflows but this requires duplicate fields for every value
Otherwise I suggest using n8n, have a token refreshing & storage tool for v2 apis with HTTPS requests & a database for all tokens & locations ID's to take as much load off the GHL system as possible

Aaron Rowley but there's a 100k calls/day limit for API usage... we're trying to keep synced 200k contacts as we're trying to migrate from Keap Infusionsoft so API limit is too low to do that...
Inbound webhook would be the best option but it would cost $2000/day!
