Tickstem gives developers cron scheduling, uptime monitoring, heartbeat monitoring, email verification, and status pages โ all under a single API key.
Go, Node.js, Python, and an MCP server for AI agent integration.
Works out of the box on Vercel, Railway, Render, and Fly.io โ platforms where you can't run a long-lived cron daemon.
Free tier included. Paid plans from $12/mo covering all tools โ no per-tool billing.
PingMetrics.io Tickstem.devTickstem.dev's answer:
A single API key covers cron scheduling, uptime monitoring, heartbeat (dead man's switch) monitoring, and email verification โ no per-tool billing, no separate dashboards. Built specifically for serverless platforms (Vercel, Railway, Render, Fly.io) where you can't run a persistent cron daemon yourself. Also ships an MCP server so AI coding agents can register jobs and monitors natively
Tickstem.dev's answer:
Most alternatives solve one piece each โ Cronitor and EasyCron do scheduling, Healthchecks.io does heartbeats, UptimeRobot does uptime. Tickstem bundles all of them under one API key and one bill, so you're not juggling three separate tools, three dashboards, and three invoices for what's really one concern: knowing whether your system is doing what it's supposed to.
Tickstem.dev's answer:
Developers building on serverless platforms (Vercel, Railway, Render, Fly.io) who need reliable scheduled jobs, uptime checks, and failure alerting, but don't want to stitch together multiple point solutions or run their own monitoring infrastructure.
Tickstem.dev's answer:
Built by a solo developer who kept needing three or four separate services โ a cron scheduler, an uptime monitor, a heartbeat/dead-man's-switch tool, email validation โ to cover what felt like one operational need for small serverless apps. Tickstem consolidates all of it under one API key instead.
Tickstem.dev's answer:
Go backend, self-hosted Postgres and Redis, Go HTML templates with HTMX for the dashboard, Docker and GitHub Actions for deployment, Caddy for TLS. Official SDKs in Go, Node.js, and Python, plus an MCP server for AI agent integration.
