More cron jobs. One $9.99/month Pro plan.

For one person growing beyond five cron jobs, PingCron Pro stays at $9.99/month through 50 monitors. Cronitor Business charges per monitor and dashboard user. Compare the full monthly cost at your job count.

Both free plans cover five monitors. If that already meets your needs, there may be no pricing reason to switch. The paid plans below have different retention and alerting capabilities.

Cronitor examples use its published monthly rates: ($2 × monitors) + ($5 × one dashboard user). There is no base fee or minimum. These are calculations, not quotes for an existing account; volume discounts, add-ons, taxes, and negotiated pricing can change the bill.

Cronitor Business includes longer retention and native SMS and on-call integrations. PingCron Pro supports email, Slack, Discord, and custom webhooks, but does not provide native SMS or on-call escalation. Both products support direct HTTP check-ins; these plans are not feature-equivalent.

PingCron Pro is for one account owner. Shared access starts on Team at $29/month with up to 200 monitors, 10 members, and 90-day history. Above 50 monitors, compare the appropriate plan instead of extending the Pro price.

Setup

Keep Cronitor running while you test one job.

A lower bill is useful only if the replacement fits your workflow. Verify a real scheduled run and your alert destination before moving more jobs.

This example shows the new PingCron check-in. Replace the placeholder with your monitor’s actual URL and keep it private. The && operator sends success only after the command succeeds. When adapting an existing job, preserve its Cronitor check-in and make each monitoring request independent so a delivery failure to one service does not prevent the other. PingCron watches for check-ins; it does not execute jobs or validate backup contents.
