Scheduled webhooks for automation, $1.5K a month, self-reported in 2022: API-led

Cronhooks schedules one-time and recurring webhook requests for workflow automation. Its $1.5K a month was founder-reported on the Indie Hackers product page (not independently verified), as of April 2022.

What it actually sells

Cronhooks provides webhook scheduling for one-time and recurring automation. It can trigger webhooks at specific times or on intervals using cron expressions.

The product serves teams that need reliable scheduled webhooks and recurring workflow automation, describing itself as “Trusted by teams shipping on a schedule”. It schedules one-time calls and recurring calls with a cron expression.

How it charges

Currency amounts appear on the pages we read, but they could not be tied to Cronhooks’ own pricing, so the product’s price could not be identified.

Where customers come from

Cronhooks provides API documentation with a “Read the docs” link. It also publishes integration and automation resources under “Helpful resources”.

The site offers cRequest, a free companion webhook inspection tool described as “cRequest — see every request the moment it lands”.

What stands out

Cronhooks supports scheduling in any timezone, including daylight saving time. Its REST API can create, update, or cancel schedules from any language without an SDK.

The service signs every request so endpoints can verify its origin. It can send alerts by email or Slack when an endpoint fails to respond as expected.

Where it sits in the data

Cronhooks's $1.5K a month is higher than 46% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

My view is that this needs real work. Demand comes from teams that need reliable scheduled webhooks and recurring workflow automation. The buyer would be a team operating workflows that depend on webhook requests at specific times or intervals.

Distribution could come through API documentation, integration and automation resources, and a companion webhook inspection tool. The hard parts include accurate scheduling across timezones and daylight saving time, schedule management through an API, request signing, failure alerts, reliability, and support load.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

Cronhooks combines scheduled webhook calls with timezone handling, an API, signed requests, failure alerts, API documentation, and a free webhook inspection tool.
