There are some users who would actually rather pay $5/mo than use a free service. Thats because paying money gives the impression (real or not) that the service is more likely to stick around and be fixed when it goes down.

For me, $5 for not having to setup cronjobs is worth it.

I don't think price is about the task (cronjobs), it's about how you value the output.

If I'm using cronjobs for some trivial unimportant task (like checking for firmware updates), I am not willing to pay. If I'm using cronjobs for super important competitive analysis, sure I'd pay.
