The StatusCake alternativeStatusCake watches your domains. InfraNest also renews them and fixes the DNS.
StatusCake checks your websites, domains and certificates, with a limit on each. InfraNest checks them too, and it manages them: renew a domain, change a DNS record or restart a server in the same place you got the alert. On Business there is no limit on domains or certificates at all.
10 sites with their domains and certificates, free — StatusCake starts at €16.66 a month for that

Why teams choose InfraNest over StatusCake
Manage, not just monitor
Renew a domain, change a DNS record or restart a server right where the alert is. No other login needed.
No cap on domains and certificates
Business has unlimited domains and certificates. Adding a client never pushes you into a bigger plan.
Certificates found for you
InfraNest finds your certificates from your sites, providers and public logs, and checks the renewed one is really in use.
Status pages that update themselves
Your own domain from Pro, private pages on Business, and no limit on subscribers.
More than monitoring
All of this is included in every plan, also on Free.
Domains
All your domains from every registrar in one list, with expiry dates, renewals and settings — and renewal prices compared across registrars.
DomainsDNS
Edit DNS records at every provider from one screen, and get warned when someone changes one somewhere else (Pro and up).
DNSCertificates
Every SSL certificate found and watched until it expires, each with an A–F grade.
CertificatesCloud servers
All servers from all your clouds in one list, with memory, disk and the services running on them.
Cloud serversFirewalls
See which ports are open in plain words, get warned about risky rules, and never lock yourself out.
FirewallsAutomations
Let InfraNest act for you: restart a server when a check fails, open a ticket, or pause checks during an update.

Not on price alone. For 50 sites with their domains and certificates, StatusCake Superior is €16.66 a month and InfraNest Pro €24; for 100 sites, StatusCake Business is €58.33 and InfraNest Business €79. StatusCake only watches your domains and certificates; InfraNest also manages them, along with your DNS and servers.
#Does InfraNest limit domains or certificates?
10 domains and 25 certificates on Free, 100 of each on Pro, and no limit on Business.
