Cron job or Schedule Tasks

Cron job and schedule tasks both are same functions that runs a script periodically. Both mostly use to hit an url with a time interval for example we want to deactivate users account  after 1 month of registration  in our website, So for this type of task we need to schedule a script so that script will run everyday on a certain time and check if user registration is expired or not and if its expired , then users account status will update.

Difference between Cronjob and Schedule Tasks

Cronjob mostly run scripts on linux servers in the terminal but Schedule Tasks gives us option to hit an url , run a PHP script or run a command etc.
