Why pay for a service if you have no idea if it’s even good? We get that. We feel the same. Heck, I wouldn’t pay for something without trying it. When we cancelled our free tier a few weeks ago, we heard 2 dominant pieces of feedback: the need for a smaller plan and the need to test the service, before committing. The first we addressed with the Light plan, starting at 4.99€/month. The second we fix today.
Auditing changes on Microsoft Windows DNS server is a common requirement and question, but it’s not immediately obvious which versions of Windows support DNS Auditing, how it’s enabled, and where the audit data (and what data) is available.

When we announced we were cancelling our free tier few a few weeks ago, we got a lot of replies. Both publicly and privately, and we’d like to thank you all for the kind & valuable feedback we’ve been given! One overwhelming theme was the request for a smaller DNS Spy plan, to monitor less sites, that doesn’t start at 9.99€/month.
