agree. its not a lot of money, or it didn't used to be last time I looked. If your org relies heavily on it just pay

I just looked this up. It's $995/year, or approximately 4% of the fully loaded cost of an FTE software engineer at most companies. i.e. about 3 weeks of a developer's time.
I understand paying extra for niche features. Isn't reliability a core feature of background job software?
We do pay for it.

Perhaps you could address my point? Open source background job software that isn't reliable by default? That makes sense?
