When to pick each tool
👁️
Pick DNS Previewer if…
- You want password-protected previews without paying $39.9/mo
- You do migrations infrequently and don't want a subscription you'll forget to cancel
- You don't want to lose your saved links if you ever stop paying
- You'd prefer to self-host eventually (we're going open source)
- You want unlimited preview links
🔗
Stick with skipdns.link if…
- You need a public API to automate link management — they have one ($79.9/mo+)
- You already pay for it and the workflow works for you
- You prefer an established brand with a longer track record
- You need a feature DNS Previewer doesn't support yet — tell us, we'll consider it
We genuinely respect what skipdns.link built — DNS migration preview is a real category of tool. We just believe the core workflow shouldn't cost $9.9–$159.9 a month when the underlying tech is reasonably straightforward to implement.
