DriftWatch

What DriftWatch is

DriftWatch monitors DNS records for changes and alerts teams with before-and-after differences. It discovers and monitors A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, TXT, NS, SOA, SRV, and CAA records, using SHA-256 checksums against stored snapshots to detect changes. Users can monitor selected records or an entire domain, with scan intervals set per domain. Alerts can go by email, Slack, webhooks, or Pushover; Slack and Pushover require Pro or higher. Webhook notifications support HMAC-SHA256 signatures, configurable headers, and retry backoff. Team features include owner, admin, member, and viewer roles, shared change history, and alert acknowledgements. A REST API supports domain management, change queries, alert configuration, and scan triggers. The free plan has three domains, 50 DNS records, hourly scans, one email alert channel, and seven days of history. Pro costs $29 a month for 25 domains, five-minute scans, and 90-day history; Enterprise costs $99 a month for 100 domains, one-minute scans, and one-year history. Subdomains count as separate domains, and reaching a plan limit blocks adding domains or channels until items are removed or the plan is upgraded.
