Having been using Cronitor since last 6 months. Coupling with good queuing system, none of my server jobs have gone unprocessed. Also there is a feature in which you can set alert if your jobs execute for more than n seconds (helps detecting heavy/slow/hung jobs). Thats super helpful.

Neat product for businesses and teams, can see the value. Surprised they decided to monetize individuals though, I expected it to be free (and definitely not $24/month)

@trevin thanks for the feedback. We do offer a single monitor for free. When we launched we offered a $7 plan but churn was much higher (3x our more expensive plans) and we try to provide a level of support to paying customers that is just not profitable at $7 a month.

@shaneharter I'm looking at from a hobbyist's perspective who runs a server at home for various things to tinker with. I probably have about 15 cron jobs doing various things. Cronitor would solve a problem for me but I can't justify paying for it. Could just be me though.

Interesting one! So far I've been writing logs and looking at it to know whether a cron job has failed. This one is very useful. Will implement it my server soon.

Definitely a great product, I can see using this to cut down on my cron job times.
