I'm not sure what you mean by "running my own scheduled tasks manually." For cron specifically, you need access to crontab, which they can control, as they are your servers.

In addition, unless it has changed since the last time I checked, you can run daily cron jobs for free, but every hour costs $ 3 / mo.

Of course, good news is that crons are free using this addon:
