A backup script that stopped running last month looks identical to one that's working, until you need the backup.

+1, I used it at a previous job, and it’s great as a “dead man’s switch” to alert when a job never ran. IIRC, cronitor is similar.

A few things that help: pairing Render cron with an external uptime monitor like BetterUptime or Cronitor to catch missed runs, and wrapping job logic in try/catch with explicit logging to a service like Logtail. Render's native alerting is minimal, so external observability fills the gap.

Cronitor's pitch — "did my cron job run?" and "is my URL up?" belong in one tool — is right. And their usage pricing ($2/mo per monitor, no base fee) is refreshingly fair.
The wall is placement: signup before your first monitor.

Cronitor alternative — cron + uptime monitoring with one curl, no account
Cronitor is right that 'did my cron run?' and 'is my URL up?' belong together, and its usage-based pricing is genuinely fair — the guide says so plainly. This page is the same two answers with the signup wall removed: a heartbeat your cron job pings (silence triggers the alert) and an edge URL monitor, each armed by a single curl. Webhook on down and on recovery, public status page and README badge per monitor, pollable variants if you don't want a webhook at all. Free, no account anywhere in the loop.
