Summary

DNS Spy monitors DNS records, domain and SSL expirations, security issues, and look-alike phishing domains. It tracks more than 60 DNS record types across authoritative nameservers and keeps a change history. Its Security Center runs more than 40 automated checks with weighted letter-grade scoring. WHOIS and RDAP monitoring tracks registrar, ownership, status, and expiry changes. Enterprise Phishing Sentinel detects typosquatting, homograph, and IDN attacks using multiple techniques and scores threats from 0 to 100. DNS provider synchronization is available for services including Cloudflare, DNSimple, DigitalOcean, GoDaddy, and Amazon Route 53, using read-only API tokens. Email notifications are available on all plans; Enterprise adds channels such as Slack, Discord, PagerDuty, webhooks, and syslog. Personal costs $9 /month for up to 10 domains, while Enterprise costs $49 /month for up to 100 domains, with expansion packs available. The 7-day trial includes Enterprise features, requires a card up front, and charges nothing if canceled before it ends.
