In their own words
DNSMonit
DNSMonit is a web and API service for monitoring DNS records, email-security settings, and domain expiration. It watches A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME, SOA, and CAA records, then alerts when values change. Alerts can arrive by email, Slack, Discord, or webhook and include the previous and current values. Free domains are checked hourly; paid plans are checked every 15 minutes. DNSMonit analyzes SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configuration and policy settings, and monitors WHOIS data for warnings 30, 14, 7, and 1 day before expiration. Two-factor authentication is included on every plan. Free costs nothing for up to three domains. Pro costs $9 a month for up to 25 domains. Agency costs $49 a month for up to 150 domains and includes a 14-day trial without a card. MSP costs $149 a month for up to 750 domains, with API access and priority support.
