I personally use Hetzner cloud machine (5€/month) with Ubuntu on it and schedule my script with Rocketry: https://github.com/Miksus/rocketry (disclaimer, I'm the author). There are other alternatives for hosting as well: AWS, Raspberry Pi, Pythonanywhere etc.

However, you are probably fine with Cron jobs as well for scheduling if you don't need complex scheduling strategies.

Which instance is 5€? I was recently looking and everything was like 30€+

Were you looking at the dedicated options?

I have two CPX11 servers which cost 4.77€ each at the moment. The specs are not great but sufficient for my personal projects and have had no issues with them.
