1-Task Daily Limit.
PythonAnywhere's free tier limits you to a single task running once every 24 hours. LiteLambda runs your Python code as often as every minute.

Why Python developers switch
PythonAnywhere was built for hosting web apps, with scheduled tasks added as an afterthought. LiteLambda was built from the ground up specifically for serverless Python cron jobs. You get isolated environments, real-time logs, and no artificial "once-a-day" limits.
