healthchecks.io is an open source project. The code is on GitHub, it has BSD license, and is accepting contributions.
No warranties!
The service is currently run on a single $20 Digital Ocean box
in NYC3.
It does have daily database backups to Amazon S3.
Multi-hour or even multi-day outages are possible.
Still, some monitoring is better
than no monitoring!
There's also a number of alternative cron monitoring services, with different feature sets, different reliability guarantees and pricing options. If healthchecks.io doesn't seem like a good fit for you, why not check them out: Cronitor.io, Dead Man's Snitch, Coal Mine, PushMon, steward.io, CronAlarm, Watchdog Timer.
