Tickstem — cron jobs, uptime monitoring and heartbeat checks for Vercel apps

Built this because Vercel’s built-in cron is limited and there’s no native way to know if your scheduled functions actually ran successfully

Tickstem gives you:

  • Reliable HTTP cron — schedule any endpoint, get execution history, retries, and email alerts on failure

  • Uptime monitoring — HTTP checks on a schedule, alerts when your endpoint goes down

  • Heartbeat monitoring — auto-generated ping URL; if your function doesn’t check in on time, you get alerted

All under one API key, free tier available. Works with any framework on Vercel.
