## EasyCron

- `dev-services/easycron` | qualifies-with-caveat | evidence documented | binding request-rate | category hosted HTTP cron scheduler | tier free
- needs card no, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-11-02T00:37:48.268Z (live) | stale on 2026-12-03
- url https://www.easycron.com/user/register
- free tier: Free plan, expires monthly: 200 EPDs (executions per day), 20-minute minimum interval, 5-second timeout, 10 logs & predictions | unit: requests | metered on: request-count | read on: 2026-10-30 | source: [1] | note: An EPD counts a job's executions on its busiest day (a job every 10 minutes occupies 144), so the free plan holds 2 jobs every 20 minutes, 8 hourly jobs or 200 daily jobs. The free plan's expiry is 1 month after the last renewal, and renewing takes a login to the plan page. Email notification, failure-log retention, custom HTTP and webhook notification are not on the free plan. A new account starts on a 7-day Individual Trial.
- per-object cap: the free plan card lists Receive 100 MB and Save 10 KB head & tail | source: [1]
- retention: 10 logs & predictions on the free plan; execution logs kept 6 months at most | source: [2] | note: Logs beyond the plan's allowed number are removed.
- egress: not applicable: an outbound HTTP caller; the free plan card lists Receive 100 MB | metered: no | source: [1]
- identity: email | detail: The Create Account for Free button posts only a session id and a timezone to /user/tryit and opens the account with no form; logging in again takes an email address and a password, which the account adds later, and keeping the free plan takes a login every month. The free plan needs no payment to register.
- interface: rest
- limits:
  - request-rate (binding): 200 executions per day (EPDs) on the free plan [1]
  - request-rate (binding): 20-minute minimum interval on the free plan [1]
  - request-rate (binding): API: 100 requests per day on the free plan, 2,000 per day on the Individual Trial plan [3]
  - request-rate (binding): API: 10 requests per second with 20 burst per load balancer, 2 load balancers [4]
  - retention-clamped: 10 logs & predictions; logs kept 6 months at most [1]
- limits note: Each execution times out after 5 seconds on the free plan. The free plan expires 1 month after the last renewal and its cron jobs are disabled on expiry; renewal is a login to the plan page.
- binding note: The 200-executions-a-day budget at a 20-minute minimum interval binds before the API quota.
- interface detail: EasyCron API v1 at api.easycron.com, with the API key in an X-API-Key header; it creates, reads, updates and deletes cron jobs and groups and returns execution logs. An older token-in-query API at www.easycron.com/rest also answers.
- endpoint: https://api.easycron.com/v1/cron-jobs
- tooling: any HTTP client against API v1; a PHP API kit for the older API
- composes with: Calls a free HTTP endpoint at most every 20 minutes on the free plan with a 5-second timeout, so it suits short trigger calls into a serverless function, not long-running jobs.
- reliability: Free accounts can be stopped by the vendor at any time; an unrenewed free plan disables its jobs after a month.
- evidence note: Plan limits, API quota, renewal rule and the account-creation call are read on first-party pages and the site's own JavaScript. API v1 answered HTTP 400 'missing key in request header' to a request without a key. Whether a keyless trial account stays on the Free plan after the trial is unverified (behind a sign-up).
