Funny that this depends on the Heroku scheduler to work. Why not just throw a curl command in the Heroku scheduler like everyone else? I can’t think of a reason to use this when you have cron and a bash script with a curl command in it.<p>Or pay $7 a month to get a hobby dyno... you cant possibly need 24x7 uptime if you can’t afford $7 a month.

Just add your site to any uptime monitoring tools like <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;uptimerobot.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;uptimerobot.com</a> or <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;webmonitoring.online" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;webmonitoring.online</a>

You only get a limited number of free hours. 1000 with a credit card otherwise 550.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.heroku.com&#x2F;free" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.heroku.com&#x2F;free</a>
