I'm a big fan of Sidekiq, and the model he's chosen. Some of the features implemented in the free version (retries with logarithmic logic as to timing, scheduled tasks) could possibly in a paid version, and the price point for the Pro version ($500) is a bit bold.

$500 for an entire corporation is very low - that's one day's worth of developer time. How much developer time would you need to replicated Sidekiq?

Retries with an increasing backoff is literally 1 LOC. It's always fascinating to see cases where cost/benefit is just minuscule like that.
