How do you compare/compete against something like Azure Scheduler which gives you 500 jobs with unlimited executions (max 1 per minute) for $14/month.

The Azure service also supports logging (60 days), retry options, and advanced recurrence schedules (every other Tue, etc.)?

Hey. That's interesting. I'll answer as well since coincidentally at same time as OP I just built a recurring webhook scheduler[1].

That Azure pricing is very competitive / cheap! That's 22 million requests per month for USD 14.

1 timer on my service can do max request 1 per second (2.6 million per month) and that 1 timer would cost $26.

On my biggest plan you can get 4000 timers and 100 million requests per month for $495.

Still Azure is beating my prices by about 10 times. But they can't do second resolution (yet?), so they're still only a "distributed cron".

Azure Scheduler seems to be aimed towards recurring tasks. So a scheduled request from Posthook is more actionable than a recurring execution from Azure Scheduler for the use cases I'm aiming to help solve with Posthook (think reminders). Also I'm hoping Posthook is a simpler offering in terms of pricing and integration.
