StatusDrift is a hosted monitoring platform for teams tracking DNS records alongside websites, APIs, certificates, domains, ports, and scheduled jobs. Its DNS coverage includes A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, and SOA records, with expected-value assertions, multi-resolver queries, TTL visibility, timestamped change history, and per-monitor alerting. Public and private status pages, incident management, and on-call features extend its scope from DNS checks to broader operational monitoring.

The published plans create a clear progression. Free includes 5 monitors, a 5-minute check interval, 1 status page, Email, Slack, and Webhook notifications, plus 90-days data retention; DNS monitoring is not listed among its monitoring types. Pro starts at 9 and adds DNS monitoring, one-minute checks, up to 10 collaborators, 5 status pages, 20+ notification channels, and API access. Business adds a 30-second interval, SSO / SAML, unlimited collaborators and status pages, and on-call management. Enterprise adds unlimited monitors, custom data retention, custom integrations, a dedicated account manager, and an SLA guarantee.

DNS teams get more than simple record-change alerts: StatusDrift can evaluate expected answers, compare results across resolvers for propagation visibility, track TTLs, and apply resolver-agreement thresholds. Its wider monitoring set makes it a fit for teams consolidating DNS, uptime, API, SSL, domain, and scheduled-job checks in one hosted service. Integrations include Email, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Telegram, PagerDuty, Opsgenie, Datadog, ServiceNow, and others, while the REST API and Terraform provider support programmatic workflows. Choose StatusDrift if DNS and uptime monitoring belong in the same system; teams needing DNS coverage on a free plan should consider a product that includes it there.
