Should I use cron job in this situation?
===

The application will handle payments, eg. funds will be released to this user account after 15 days. 
So, I can take date of payment + 15 days, if this is greater than current date, funds will be released. It would be If statement 
I suppose this would work fine, also in some other situations 

I probably can make this on cron but user will have to mess around cron and creating proper times on his server.
 It's not user friendly. I see lots of applications that don't run cron, but they can handle stuff like this, so I guess reference to time will work ok 

The whole wordpress "cron" runs on this as well, there is no real cron 

What are your suggestions and do you use cron in ready applications which you will deliver to the client and have client mess around setting cron time?
