FastCron scores 6.3/10 for free value in Schedulers. The main constraint: Free forever (no credit card): 5 cron jobs at a 5-minute minimum interval, 50 execution logs retained, with unlimited executions, email/Slack/webhook failure notifications, and run-time predictions.

Category Schedulers Kind Cron job scheduler Caveats Minimum interval on the free plan is 5 minutes (1-minute and 30-second intervals require paid plans), only the last 50 execution logs are kept, and any free-plan job that fails 50 consecutive times is automatically disabled.

What you get

No execution-count cap — only the number of jobs is limited, so all 5 jobs can run continuously

Failure notifications via email, Slack, and webhooks included on the free plan

Fully customizable HTTP requests: method, headers, POST data, auth, cookies, user agent, and API token

No credit card required; signup starts on the free plan and paid accounts downgrade to it on expiry

Gotchas

  • 5 cron jobs

    The free plan allows a maximum of 5 cron jobs; more jobs require a paid plan (Starter is 15, Pro 80, Business 250+).

  • 5-minute minimum interval

    Free-plan jobs can run no more frequently than every 5 minutes. The 1-minute interval is Starter ($5/mo) and 30-second is Pro ($20/mo).

  • 50 execution logs

    Only the most recent 50 execution logs are retained on the free plan; older logs are discarded.

  • Auto-disable after 50 consecutive failures

    On the free plan, a cron job that fails 50 consecutive times is automatically disabled and must be re-enabled manually.
