Why Cronaman
Simple
Clean dashboard, no unnecessary complexity. One curl command and you are monitored.
Affordable
Flat $15/mo Pro — not per-monitor pricing. Cronhub charged $19/mo for far fewer features.
Unique: Semantic Payload Assertions
The only cron monitor that tells you your job worked, not just that it ran. POST a JSON payload, define assertion rules, and get alerted on silent failures.
Built by an indie dev, for indie devs
No VC pressure. No forced enterprise plans. Built with Spring Boot + React + Supabase and shipped lean.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is Cronaman free?
- Yes — there is a free tier with up to 3 monitors, email alerts, and 1-hour minimum frequency. No credit card required.
- How long does migration take?
- Under 10 minutes for most setups. You just swap one URL in your cron script.
- Does Cronaman support cron expressions?
- Yes — full cron expression support including @daily, @hourly, and custom intervals down to 1-minute on Pro.
- What alert channels does Cronaman support?
- Email on the free plan. Slack, Discord, Telegram, and custom webhooks on Pro.
- Does Cronaman support start/finish ping signals?
- Yes — ping /ping/:slug/start when the job begins and /ping/:slug when it finishes. Cronaman computes duration automatically.
- What makes Cronaman different from Cronhub?
- Cronaman adds semantic payload assertions — you POST your job's output as JSON and define rules like "records_processed > 0". Cronaman alerts you if values fall outside expected ranges, catching silent failures that exit with code 0.
