Cronhub Is Shutting Down. Here's Your Best Alternative.
Cronhub.io is shutting down on June 30, 2026. If you relied on Cronhub for scheduler pings or monitors, you need a replacement that speaks the same language: a URL you hit when a job succeeds, and alerts when it doesn't.
CronCraft is built for exactly that workflow. You can start free (no credit card), swap ping URLs in your scripts, and be done in minutes. Prefer to own the stack? Self-host with Docker from GitHub.
For step-by-step instructions, see our Cronhub migration guide.
Cronhub feature → CronCraft
| Cronhub concept | CronCraft equivalent |
|---|---|
| Monitors / schedulers | Jobs you register with a cron schedule + grace period |
| Ping URL | Unique https://croncraft.app/ping/<token> per job |
| Dashboard | Real-time status, run history, late / failed states |
| Failure alerts | Email on all tiers; Slack & webhooks on Pro+ |
| Success vs failure ping | /ping/token vs /ping/token/fail |
Migrate in five steps
- Sign up at croncraft.app (free, no card).
- Create one CronCraft job for each Cronhub monitor — match schedule and grace.
- Replace Cronhub ping URLs with CronCraft ping URLs in your scripts or schedulers.
- Watch the dashboard to confirm pings land on time.
- Cancel Cronhub before June 30, 2026.

Pricing snapshot
CronCraft's free tier includes 10 monitored jobs with email alerts — enough for many Cronhub workloads. Paid plans are flat $19 / $49 per month (Pro / Team), not per monitor. See pricing on the homepage.
Start free — migrate in about five minutes.
Get started free- Is CronCraft a drop-in replacement for Cronhub?
- For heartbeat-style monitoring: yes. You trade one HTTPS ping URL for another. Scheduling still lives in cron, Kubernetes, or your platform — CronCraft records whether the ping arrived on time.
- Can I self-host CronCraft?
- Yes. AGPL-licensed source and Docker Compose are on GitHub. See self-hosted cron monitoring.
- What happens to my Cronhub history?
- Historical data stays with Cronhub. CronCraft starts fresh from your first ping — export anything you need from Cronhub before they sunset the service.
