What Is Cronhooks
Cronhooks is a hosted scheduling service purpose-built for webhooks. Rather than pinging a URL on a fixed interval the way a generic cron tool does, Cronhooks is designed around the idea of triggering an HTTP call at an exact future moment, once, or repeatedly according to a cron expression, with built-in retry logic and delivery verification.
The product targets developers who need reliable, timezone-consistent scheduling for tasks like sending a reminder at a specific date, retrying a failed payment webhook, or firing a recurring report generation job, without standing up their own job queue or scheduler infrastructure.
Core Capabilities: Scheduling, Security and cFlows
At its core, Cronhooks exposes a REST API and dashboard for creating schedules with a target URL, HTTP method, headers, and payload, plus either a single fire date or a cron expression for recurring runs. Every request Cronhooks sends includes a verifiable signature so receiving systems can confirm authenticity before acting on the payload.
cFlows extends this into lightweight workflow automation: a single trigger URL can kick off a multi-step flow with its own variables and built-in functions for things like date math or string formatting, which lets teams build small automations, such as multi-step notification chains, without adopting a full workflow-orchestration platform.
Pricing and Who It Fits
Cronhooks uses a freemium model gated primarily by the number of active schedules rather than execution volume or team size, with the Free plan capped around five ad hoc schedules and the Startup plan, at roughly 5 dollars per month, unlocking around 100 schedules plus recurring cron scheduling and Slack alerts.
This structure makes it a natural fit for individual developers and small teams that need a handful of dependable scheduled webhooks, while larger organizations with many distinct scheduled workflows would move to the higher-volume Custom tier.
Key Features
One-time and recurring scheduling — Supports both ad hoc webhooks fired at a specific date and time and recurring webhooks defined with standard cron expressions.
Timezone-agnostic execution — Schedules run consistently at the configured time regardless of the account holder's or server's geographic timezone.
Signed webhook requests — Every outgoing request includes a verifiable signature so receiving endpoints can confirm the call genuinely came from Cronhooks.
REST API — A full REST API lets schedules be created, updated, and managed from any application or technology stack.
cFlows workflow automation — A workflow layer that chains multiple actions behind a single trigger URL, with global, flow, and request-level variables and built-in helper functions.
Failure alerts — Sends email and, on paid plans, Slack notifications when a scheduled webhook fails to deliver.
Unlimited invocations and team members — All plans, including the free tier, include unlimited schedule invocations and unlimited team seats regardless of pricing tier.
No-credit-card free trial — Offers a 15-day free trial of paid features without requiring payment details up front.
