How it works

Sweeter than crontab.
Zero infrastructure.

Drop in your URL

Any HTTP endpoint. We'll hit it on your schedule with the headers and body you configure. GET or POST — we're not picky.

Tell us when

Type "every weekday at 8:30am" in plain English. Or use a cron expression if that's your jam. Our AI parses both.

We'll buzz if it breaks

Automatic retries on failure. Email alerts the moment something stings. Full execution logs and a public status page for your users.

Features

The whole hive, included.
No add-ons. No gotchas.

Automatic Retries

Failed? We retry up to 3 times with exponential backoff. Each attempt logged separately. No stings left behind.

Failure Alerts

Get buzzed the moment something breaks. Set your threshold: 1, 3, or 5 consecutive failures before we alert.

Execution Logs

Every run logged with timestamp, duration, HTTP status, and response body. Full transparency, always.

Natural Language

Type "every weekday at 8:30am" and we parse it. No cron syntax memorization. Just say when.

Public Status Page

Share a live status page with your users. Shows job health without exposing any sensitive nectar.

Usage Dashboard

Real-time visibility into your runs, success rates, and latency. Everything in one honeycomb view.

From the hive

Loved by busy builders.

“Replaced 3 GitHub Actions workflows with Honeycron in 10 minutes. Haven't thought about cron since. It just hums along.”

Sarah K.

Indie Hacker

“The natural language scheduling is *chef's kiss*. I just type 'every weekday at 9am' and it works. My co-founder can set up jobs now.”

Marcus R.

CTO, Dataflow

“Moved from AWS EventBridge. Setup went from 4 hours to 2 minutes. The alerts caught a billing sync failure before any customer noticed.”

Why switch

Other tools leave a bitter taste.

Here's why they didn't stick.

Vercel Cron

Limiting

Daily-only on Hobby plan. Max 2 jobs. Need to upgrade to Pro ($20/mo) for more.

GitHub Actions

Unreliable

15-20 minute delays during peak. No alerting. Not built for reliability.

AWS EventBridge

Complex

Requires IAM roles, Lambda functions, CloudWatch. 4+ hours to set up.

cron-job.org

Risky

No SLA. 30 second timeout. Zero alerting. You find out it's broken when users complain.

Honeycron

The sweet spot. Reliable retries, instant alerts, full logs. Set up in 2 minutes, runs forever. From $0/mo.

Pricing

Free to taste. Sweet to scale.

No surprises. No overages without warning.
