# Zeplo

Canonical: https://inetgeek.com/queues/zeplo/

HTTP request queue priced per request, with 30-day log retention on every plan including free.

## Who it suits

Turning an HTTP endpoint into a queued, retried job without running a consumer — and keeping a month of logs while doing it, which nothing else here offers on a free plan.

Consider something else if The free tier's overage is $20 per 100,000 requests, twenty times the Company plan's rate, so staying free past 500 requests is the most expensive way to use it.

## iScore

67 / 100 (80% interval 59–75), rank 7 of 10 in queues — interval overlaps the next rank, so this is an ordering, not a finding.

inetGeek's own reading, computed from sourced facts against category peers by disclosed rules. Not a provider claim. Intervals are 80%; a provider with few documented facts is pulled toward the category middle rather than scored on what little is known.
Read this score with care:
- Capacity and limits is thin: 2 of 5 criteria are scored, so it sits near the category middle with a wide interval (46–58). Read the interval, not the point.
- Trust and compliance is thin: 4 of 12 criteria are scored, so it sits near the category middle with a wide interval (54–86). Read the interval, not the point.
- Adoption is thin: 0 of 1 criteria are scored, so it sits near the category middle with a wide interval (10–90). Read the interval, not the point.
- Documented but not scored, because the page states it as text with no comparable number or a yes/limited/no (a one-time, usage-based or other-vendor price, or a per-site choice): concurrency_limit, queue_retention, regions. Read them on the provider page; the score neither rewards nor penalises what it could not compare.
