API-first
Create, update, and pause schedules over REST. Cron expressions for recurring work, timestamps for one-off events – reminders, trial expirations, follow-ups.
Cron jobs and scheduled webhooks. As an API. Hosted in the EU.
cronplan fires your scheduled HTTP requests reliably – recurring via cron expressions or one-off at an exact timestamp. With retries, delivery logs, and signed payloads. Hosted in German data centers, GDPR-compliant, DPA included.
- ✓ Hosted in Germany
- ✓ GDPR-compliant
- ✓ DPA included
- ✓ No US subprocessors
Built for developers, designed for compliance
Reliable delivery
Automatic retries with exponential backoff, HMAC-signed payloads, and full delivery logs. You see every request and every response.
EU hosting, no compromises
Operated in German data centers with EU-only subprocessors. No third-country data transfers, no CLOUD Act exposure.
DPA in one click
An Art. 28 GDPR data processing agreement at signup – subprocessor list and TOMs included. Your DPO will thank you.
One request, one schedule
Recurring or one-off – the API stays equally simple.
POST https://api.cronplan.com/v1/schedules
{
"target_url": "https://app.example.com/hooks/reminder",
"schedule": "0 8 * * MON", // recurring: every Monday 08:00
"payload": { "customer_id": "c_4821" },
"retry": { "max_attempts": 5, "backoff": "exponential" }
}
POST https://api.cronplan.com/v1/schedules
{
"target_url": "https://app.example.com/hooks/trial-expired",
"run_at": "2026-08-22T09:00:00+02:00", // one-off
"payload": { "customer_id": "c_4821" }
}What teams use cronplan for
- Reminders and follow-ups that belong to the customer, not the server
- Trial expirations and time-based contract events
- Nightly reports, backups, and data syncs
- Cache warming and scheduled maintenance tasks
- Webhook delivery with retries instead of fire-and-forget
- Client-facing schedules in agency projects
Why not just use a US provider?
- US scheduling APIs
- Technically solid – but no DPA and data transfers to the US. A contractual dead end for EU agencies acting as processors.
- Browser cron tools
- Fine for pinging your own webspace, but no API, no one-off webhooks, no retries, and usually no DPA.
- cronplan
- A developer API with EU hosting and a DPA. The gap in between – on purpose.

Frequently asked questions
Where is my data processed?
Exclusively in German data centers (Hetzner, Falkenstein/Nuremberg). All subprocessors are EU-based – the full list is part of the DPA.
Do I get a data processing agreement?
Yes. An Art. 28 GDPR DPA including the subprocessor list and technical and organizational measures is available at signup – no negotiation, no surcharge.
Does cronplan work for Swiss companies?
Yes. Hosting in Germany is compatible with the revised Swiss data protection act (revFADP/revDSG), and for Swiss companies serving EU customers, the DPA covers the GDPR side as well.
What will cronplan cost?
There will be a free starter tier and paid plans from around €19 per month, scaled by executions and log retention. Waitlist members get founding-customer pricing.
When does it launch?
