This is what I did with Heroku and will continue to do if I am trying out fly.io or render (1 dollar for cronjob). I know you could get free cronjob on Heroku if you provide them your credit card info. So, here is what I did. Added a simple API layer in front of my script. The API layer takes in a secret message to a specific endpoint that initiates a background process. Initially, I used my raspberry pi to periodically make the API requests. But I plan to try out: https://cron-job.org/en/ https://cron-job.org/en/

I'd consider initiating them from free GitHub actions

  Isn't GitHub actions free for only public repositories?

    You get a limited number of free build minutes per account for private repositories. 2,000 minutes are included for free accounts.

I’ve been using cron-job.org this way on my own side project and it’s been working great.
