In many cases, paying for a service you could do yourself is more about having a throat to choke in case something goes wrong. I'm sure I could figure out cron/crontab if I took the time to learn about it but that's not my core skillset so paying $5/month is actually rather cheap for me (especially when the cost is passed along to a client who is less skilled at these things than I am).
- Wronnay 6y agoCron-job.org uses a similar interface and is much older than this project. And if you don't wanna write crontab syntax, then there are other free alternatives like IFTTT
- pkaye 6y agoAnd what happens when this service you depend on gets shut down for whatever reason?
- mikece 6y agoI get to bill the client for moving them to another service.
- quickthrower2 6y agoSo best to choose one that's gonna shut down soon :-).
