About CronAlarm
CronAlarm provides robust monitoring for cron jobs and scheduled tasks, alerting users when any issues arise. It offers critical insights into the performance and reliability of tasks, ensuring users are informed if jobs run too quickly, too long, or fail to run at the correct interval. With a simple setup, requiring only access to a URL—CronAlarm makes monitoring easy. Users can receive custom alerts through email, webhooks, or Slack, ensuring they stay updated on their task performance. CronAlarm offers a 7-day free trial with full feature access, plus the ability to monitor one job for free indefinitely, with no credit card required. CronAlarm has always used Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for all alerts and reports in the CronAlarm dashboard and management interface. However, the ability for users to set a timezone preference has been one of our most requested features. This has been added to the CronAlarm platform.

Cronless
Cronless offers a free online cron job service. We simulate a Linux cron job through our website and call your script at a scheduled time. Web-based or online cron jobs are used for two main reasons: First, you want to automate something you do often or infrequently so you don't forget. Second, you might have a CPU-intensive script or program to run and you want to do it when site traffic is low. Cron services aren't always available on free (and sometimes paid) web hosting services, and furthermore crontab is a real headache to set up and run correctly. If you don't have cron on your hosting account or don't want to write a crontab entry, then Cronless makes it easy to set up a cron job online. Cronless offers a premium monitoring service where we can alert you if your site or server is offline moments after it goes offline. Our site monitoring also offers uptime percentage and outage count, along with a website badge you can post to brag to your customers about your reliability.
