EasyCron handles basic HTTP cron, but its feature set hasn't kept pace. Recuro gives you configurable retry logic, team access, and a modern dashboard built for how teams work today.
Comparison
Side by side, feature for feature.
Gaps
The gaps that push developers to look for an alternative.
EasyCron can retry a failed job once, with a fixed delay. There is no configuration for how long to wait, no support for multiple retry attempts, and no per-attempt logging. A transient 500 that would have cleared on attempt 3 just stays failed.
EasyCron sends a basic email when a job fails. It does not tell you when the job starts succeeding again. After a failure, you are left wondering whether it is still broken — and have to log in to find out.
There is no way to share an EasyCron account with colleagues. No role-based access, no shared dashboard, no visibility for the rest of your team. If a scheduled job matters to your business, it probably matters to more than one person.
When a job fails with a 500, the most useful thing you can see is the error your server returned. EasyCron logs the status code but not the body, so you have to correlate with your own server logs to understand what actually happened.
Features
Everything in one tool -- scheduling, retries, alerts, and team management.
Configure up to 10 retry attempts per queue, each with its own delay. Transient failures never become permanent.
Email alerts when jobs fail beyond your threshold. Recovery notifications when they come back. Always know the current state.
Status code, response body, response headers, request body, and timing -- stored for every run. Debug with everything you need.
Invite your team. Admin and member roles. Shared execution history and job management for everyone.
Push non-recurring jobs via POST /api/jobs with an optional delay. Retries and alerts work the same way as cron jobs.
Create, update, and manage cron jobs and queues programmatically. No dashboard clicking required.
Migration
Migrating from EasyCron takes minutes. Your cron expressions work as-is.

Create queues for your job categories, each with its own retry delays and alert threshold.
Recreate each cron job — EasyCron and Recuro use the same cron expression format, so your schedules copy across directly.
Invite your team from Settings → Team and assign admin or member roles.
Run both in parallel briefly, then disable your EasyCron jobs once Recuro is confirmed running.
Full execution history, automatic retries, and failure alerts -- from day one.
