CronCanary: a hosted Healthchecks.io alternative

Cron monitoring done simply — fully hosted, free to start, every alert channel on every plan.

Looking for a straightforward, hosted cron-monitoring service? CronCanary covers the essentials: ping URLs (UUID + readable slug), simple period or full cron schedules with proper IANA timezone and DST handling, grace periods, start/fail/exit-code signals, public status badges, and de-duplicated down + recovery alerts.

What you get free

When to pick something else

If you need self-hosting, on-call escalation/PagerDuty, SMS/voice, or read-only team status pages today, a more featureful tool may fit better. CronCanary stays deliberately simple and cheap. Paid tiers ($5 / $19 a month) only raise the check count and log retention.
