Cronitor

Cron job and uptime monitoring

Free tier + paidMonitoring & error trackingcronitor.io

What it is

Monitoring for the things that fail silently: cron jobs, background workers, queues and scheduled tasks, alongside conventional uptime and API checks. Jobs ping a URL on start and finish, and Cronitor alerts when a run is late, fails or takes too long. Cloud-only.

Why it earns a slot

Nothing else here tells you the nightly backup script quietly stopped running three weeks ago, and a one-line curl in the crontab is the entire integration.

Know before you commit

The free plan is 5 monitors at 5-minute resolution with email and Slack alerts only. SMS, 30-second checks and PagerDuty or Opsgenie integrations all start at the paid tier.

Getting started
