A Dead Man's Snitch alternative

Dead Man's Snitch is a simple, focused heartbeat service with a long history. CronPup follows the same idea and adds cron-expression schedules with timezones, start/fail/exit-code signals with run durations, and TLS expiry checks. Prices are from both sites on 5 November 2026.

If you have only a handful of jobs and like the service you have, it's a fine choice. If you're past a few jobs, or want run durations, failure output and certificate checks in one place, try CronPup free.
