Low starting price for the cloud tiers compared to enterprise domain/brand-protection platforms.
Cons
Self-hosted deployment requires Docker knowledge and ongoing server maintenance.
Self-hosted edition lacks built-in email and push notifications without extra configuration.
As a young project, its long-term company backing and support infrastructure are less established than larger competitors.
Cloud plan domain limits (5/20/100) may require upgrades for larger domain portfolios.
