v2.1.0
latestPlan limits are simpler. The Active Time Budget measured in seconds has been replaced by a straightforward monthly run allowance, and request timeouts now come from your plan instead of being set per job.
Changed
- Scheduled runs replace the Active Time Budget - each plan now covers a number of runs per 30-day month instead of a budget in seconds. Every tier gained a substantially larger allowance in the process.
- Request timeout is now a plan setting - 20s on Free, 60s Starter, 150s Pro, 300s Business, 600s Enterprise. It applies to every job automatically and is no longer chosen per job.
- Free, Starter and Pro have a stated active job limit - 5 / 25 / 50. Business and Enterprise stay unlimited on job count and are bounded by their run allowance instead.
- Downgrades now email you a summary of exactly what changed, including the new timeout and any jobs that were paused.
Added
- The job form shows what a schedule will cost in runs per month before you save it, along with how much of your allowance is left.
- Dashboard now has an active job meter alongside the run allowance meter.
- Jobs paused by a plan limit are resumed automatically when you upgrade again.
Fixed
- Run estimates are now exact for schedules using the last day of the month, day 31, and specific-month restrictions.
- Resuming a job after a downgrade or a recovered payment no longer leaves it scheduled in the past, which could make several jobs fire at once.
v2.0.1
A focused update around public content, clearer pricing copy, and easier answers before signup.
Added
- FAQ page with answers on scheduling, billing, IP whitelisting, and Active Time Budget

v2.0.0
majorComplete platform rewrite. CronEngine v2 is rebuilt from the ground up on PHP + Go + MySQL with a new dispatcher architecture, full Stripe billing integration, and a redesigned dashboard.
New
- Dashboard - overview of all jobs with active/paused counts and per-map grouping
- Job maps - organize jobs into named groups (e.g. production, staging, per-project)
- Visual schedule builder - pick intervals without writing cron syntax; raw cron expressions still supported
- Run history - every execution logged with HTTP status, response body, and duration
- Execution time graphs - per-job charts to spot slowdowns and failures over time
- Next-run preview - see upcoming execution times before activating a job
- Email notifications - alerts on failure or on every run, configured per job
- Active Time Budget - monthly per-plan budget tracked in seconds; heaviest jobs paused automatically on overflow
- Stripe billing - subscriptions, plan switching, billing portal, and invoice history
- Five plans - Free, Starter, Pro, Business, and Enterprise
